Literary author's tale - probably one ofmost popular genres of modernity. Interest in such works is inexhaustible among children, and among their parents, and Russian writers of fairy tales have made a worthy contribution to the general creative work. It should be remembered that a literary tale differs from folklore in several ways. First of all, the fact that she has a specific author. There are also differences in the way the material is conveyed and the author’s clear position, the use of plots and images, suggesting that this genre has the right to complete independence.
If you make a list of fairy tales of Russian writers,then it will take more than one sheet of paper. Moreover, creations were written not only in prose, but also in verses. Here, a striking example is A. Pushkin, who originally did not plan to compose children's works. But after a while, the poetic works “On Tsar Saltan”, “On the Priest and his Worker Balda”, “On the Dead Princess and Seven Bogatyrs”, “On the Golden Cockerel” added to the list of fairy tales of Russian writers. Simple and figurative form of presentation, memorable images, vivid scenes - all this is characteristic of the work of the great poet. And these works are still included in the treasury of children's literature.
To literary tales of the period under reviewcan be attributed, and some other not less known. Russian writers of fairy tales: Zhukovsky ("The War of Mice and Frogs"), Ershov ("The Little Humpbacked Horse"), Aksakov ("The Scarlet Flower") - made their worthy contribution to the development of the genre. And the great collector of folklore and interpreter of the Russian language Dahl also wrote a certain number of fabulous works. Among them: "Crow", "Girl Snow Maiden", "About a woodpecker" and others. Other fairy tales of famous Russian writers can be recalled: “Wind and Sun”, “Blind Horse”, “Fox and Goat” by Ushinsky, “Black Chicken, or Underground People” by Pogorelsky, “Frog Traveler”, “Tale of Toad and Rose” Garshina, “The Wild Landowner”, “The Wise Minnow” by Saltykov-Shchedrin. Of course, this is not a complete list.
They wrote literary tales and Leo Tolstoy, andPaustovsky, and Mamin-Sibiryak, and Gorky, and many others. Among the most outstanding works can be noted "Golden Key" Tolstoy Alexey. The work was planned as a free retelling of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. But here is the case when the remake has surpassed the original - so many Russian-speaking critics evaluate the work of the writer. The wooden boy Buratino, well known to everyone since childhood, has for a long time won the hearts of little readers and their parents with his immediacy and brave heart. We all remember and friends of Pinocchio: Malvina, Artemona, Pierrot. And his enemies: the evil Carabas and the nasty Duremar, the cat Basilio and the fox Alice. The vivid images of the characters are so original and original, recognizable, that once you read the work of Tolstoy, you remember all your life thereafter.
These can be attributed with confidence to the creation of YuriOleshi "Three Fat Men". In this tale, the author reveals the theme of class struggle against the background of such eternal values as friendship, mutual assistance; the characters of the characters are distinguished by their courage and revolutionary impulse. And the work of Arkady Gaidar "Malchish-Kibalchish" tells of a difficult period for the formation of the Soviet state - the civil war. The boy is a vivid, memorable symbol of the era of the struggle for revolutionary ideals. It is no coincidence that these images were later used by other authors, for example, in the works of the sixteenth-century children's poet Joseph Kurlat, who in the fairy tale-poem “The Song of Malchish-Kibalchish” revived the bright image of the hero.
These authors can be attributed, and Eugene Schwartz,He gave literature such fairy-tales as “The Naked King”, “The Shadow” - based on the works of Andersen. And his original works “The Dragon” and “The Ordinary Miracle” (first forbidden to performances) forever entered the treasury of Soviet literature.
To the poetic works of the genre includeand Korney Chukovsky's fairy tales: “Fly-Tsokotuha”, “Moidodyr”, “Barmalei”, “Aibolit”, “Cockroach”. To this day, they are the most widely read poetic fairy tales in Russia for children of all ages. Instructive and bold, brave and monstrous images and characters of the heroes of Chukovsky's works are recognizable from the first lines. And the poems of Marshak, and the delightful works of Kharms? And Zakhoder, Moritz and Kurlat? All can not be listed in this rather short article.
Можно сказать, что жанр литературной сказки evolved from folklore, in a sense, exploiting his subjects and characters. So now, many Russian fairy tale writers are evolving into science fiction writers, giving rise to good works in the fashionable fantasy style. Such authors probably include Yemtsa, Gromyko, Lukyanenko, Fry, Oldie, and many others. This is a worthy successor to previous generations of literary tale authors.
