"Sugar child" is a book for familyreading in the quiet evenings. It is an excellent opportunity to establish an internal dialogue in the family, to tell children about the unpleasant and scary pages of the country's history, which, nevertheless, must not be forgotten.
К тому же это прекрасный роман, способный to demonstrate to all modern people how it is necessary to remain human and not lose their dignity, even finding themselves in the most difficult conditions. Those who are not fortunate enough to get into the millstones of history manage to keep faith in good people, and also love for their land and their homeland.
По сути, это вечный сюжет, основанный на новом for children's domestic literature material. This is the story of a girl from the last century, who is also brilliantly illustrated by the artist Maria Pasternak. Throughout her work she was in close contact with the author. Therefore, she managed to portray everything as close as possible to the way the writer imagined it when she created her work.
Автор романа "Сахарный ребенок", тему которого can be defined as a love for loved ones and the preservation of human dignity, in everyday life works as the chief editor of the journal "Library in school." Therefore, she knows perfectly well what works of children's literature pupils are facing today, what modern children's literature appears on the shelves of shops and bookshelves in libraries.
At the same time, to create such a work, sheit took a certain courage. After all, the topic of Stalin's prohibitions was practically never raised before on the pages of children's literature, behind the scenes it was taboo.
At the same time, Gromova’s book continues Russian andSoviet tradition of parenting novels. They must be present in the home library of every teenager. After all, such books make it possible to understand the internal problems, to learn the details of the history of their country, even if they are not the most pleasant, to understand the basic moral rules that should be followed all my life.
Previously, such mandatory readthe works were “Netochka Nezvanov” by Dostoevsky, the trilogy of Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy about maturation, the novels of Kataev and Oseeva. Today they are being replaced by books by contemporary authors. "Sugar child" is one of the most successful examples of reading for the new modern generation.
Another advantage of this novel is thatthat everything that is said on the pages of "Sugar child" is not fiction. The book is biographical. It is based on the memories of Stella Nudolskaya. She is the prototype of the main character - the girl Eli.
As the author ironically notes in the pages of the novel,her parents were indeed socially dangerous elements. At the very least, at that time, facts from the biography that Eli's parents had were often evaluated. And Stella's mom and dad had a higher education, spoke at once in several foreign languages, in free time they drew, played musical instruments. They had an enviable pedigree. Grandpa Eli - pillar nobleman who worked at the Tula Arms Factory.
Thus, it turns out that this book is the only one that tells about the Stalinist repressions and is addressed to children.
Nudolskaya, who became the prototype for this novel,also wrote her own documentary biography. She received the title "Do not let yourself be afraid." However, for a children's work, such a name, of course, did not fit. Therefore, the novel and it was decided to call "Sugar child".
For the Thunder edition of this book was a matter of principle. She promised to do this to her friend Nudolska, who died long before this work saw the light.
Gromova met Nudolskaya when theyWere neighbors in a communal apartment, still in the Soviet Union. The writer describes the woman who became the prototype for her future work, as a lonely but strong person. When they met, Nudolskaya lived alone. Her husband died, and her son worked away from Moscow. Despite all the domestic and life difficulties, she found the strength to lead an active lifestyle. I read a lot, especially went to the club of veterans, where she acquainted old people with literary novelties. She created a group for young mothers, in which she taught everyone to sew and embroidery.
Gromova in his memoirs describestalkative woman with a sharp mind and a delicate sense of humor. She constantly told her about her life in Central Asia, work on the Chukotka Peninsula, about the schools near Moscow where she studied after the war, when she and her mother were finally allowed to return from Kyrgyzstan. In her stories, Nudolskaya very accurately and in detail described the characters, the situations she encountered in life, and the world around her.
It was from Nudolskaya Gromova who learned that eachThe year of October 30 in the Soviet Union marks the day of political prisoners. At that time, this topic itself was banned. The new girlfriend of the writer was just one of those who suffered from political repression.
However, more free times soon arrived. Perestroika began, and Gromov and Nudolskaya began to process these memories and publish them in the form of essays in newspapers and magazines.
Soon her son returned from the North.He was incurably ill and could not work as before. The main goal of Nudolsky’s life was to take care of him, to visit hospitals and clinics, and to obtain the necessary medicines.
She did not break even at that moment, became a model of resilience and vitality. And for the Thunder itself, and for its readers. Because the image of the heroine recreated in the novel is very realistic.
