Literary author's tale - probably one of themost popular genres of our time. Interest in such works is inexhaustible both among children and among their parents, and Russian fairy tale writers have made a worthy contribution to the overall creative work. It should be remembered that the literary tale differs from folk folklore by several parameters. First of all, the fact that she has a specific author. There are also differences in the way the material is conveyed and a clear authorial position, the use of plots and images, which make it possible to say that this genre has the right to complete independence.
If you compile a list of tales of Russian writers,then it will take more than one sheet of paper. And the works were written not only in prose, but also in verse. Here a prime example is A. Pushkin, who initially does not plan to compose children's works. But over time, the poetic creations "About Tsar Saltan", "About the Priest and His Worker Balde", "About the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights", "About the Golden Cockerel" were supplemented with a list of tales of Russian writers. A simple and imaginative form of presentation, memorable images, vivid plots - all this is typical for the work of the great poet. And these works are still included in the treasury of children's literature.
To the literary tales of the period under considerationcan be attributed and some other, no less famous. Russian fairy tale writers: Zhukovsky ("The War of Mice and Frogs"), Ershov ("The Humpbacked Horse"), Aksakov ("The Scarlet Flower") - made their worthy contribution to the development of the genre. A great collector of folklore and interpreter of the Russian language Dal also wrote a number of fabulous works. Among them: "Crow", "Girl Snow Maiden", "About Woodpecker" and others. You can recall other fairy tales of famous Russian writers: "Wind and Sun", "The Blind Horse", "Fox and the Goat" by Ushinsky, "Black Chicken, or Underground People" by Pogorelsky, "Frog Traveler", "Tale of the Toad and Rose" Garshin, "Wild landowner", "Wise minnow" Saltykov-Shchedrin. Of course, this is not a complete list.
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 Alexei. The work was planned as a free retelling of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. But here is the case when the reworking has surpassed the original - so many Russian-speaking critics evaluate the work of the writer. Familiar since childhood wooden boy Pinocchio has long won the hearts of young readers and their parents with their spontaneity and brave heart. We all remember and friends of Pinocchio: Malvina, Artemon, Pierrot. And his enemies: the evil Karabas and the nasty Duremara, Cat Basilio and the fox Alice. The bright images of the heroes are so original and original, recognizable that once you have read Tolstoy's work, remember the whole subsequent life.
They can be attributed with certainty the creation of YuriOlesha "Three Fat Men". In this tale the author reveals the theme of the class struggle against the background of such eternal values as friendship and mutual assistance; the characters of the heroes are distinguished by their boldness and revolutionary impulse. And the work of Arkady Gaidar "Malchish-Kibalchish" tells about a difficult period for the formation of the Soviet state - the civil war. The boy is a bright, memorable symbol of that era of the struggle for revolutionary ideals. It is no coincidence that these images were used later by other authors, for example, in the work of the children's poet of the sixties Joseph Kurlat, who in the fairy tale-poem "The Song of the Boy-Kibalchish" revived the bright image of the hero.
These authors can be attributed to Evgeny Schwartz,who gave literature such fairy-tales as "The Naked King", "The Shadow" - based on Andersen's works. And his original creations "Dragon" and "Ordinary Miracle" (first forbidden to staging) forever entered the treasury of Soviet literature.
To the poetic works of the genre can be attributedand the fairy-tales of Korney Chukovsky: "Fly-Tsokotukha", "Moydodyr", "Barmaley", "Aibolit", "Cockroach". They are still the most readable in Russia poetic fairy tales for children of all ages. The instructive and audacious, brave and monstrous images and characters of the heroes of Chukovsky's works are recognizable from the first lines. And the verses of Marshak, and the admirable creativity of Harms? And Zakhoder, Moritz and Kurlat? All can not be listed in this rather short article.
We can say that the genre of a literary taleevolved from folk folklore, in some ways exploiting his subjects and images of characters. So at the present time, many Russian fairytale writers evolve into science fiction writers, giving birth to good works in the fashionable fantasy style. To such authors, probably, it is possible to carry Емца, Громыко, Лукьяненко, Фрая, Oldi and many others. This is a worthy replacement for previous generations of literary tales.
