Annotation of the best works of modern literature. T. Tolstaya "Kys". The novel tells about what could happen to Russia after a nuclear war. The novel is thoroughly saturated with irony and sarcasm. the novel "Kys" is, after all, an antiupopia. Translated from Greek, "utopia" means "a place that does not exist." IN explanatory dictionary S.I. Ozhegova this word is defined as “something fantastic; unrealizable, unrealizable dream. " Can what is described in the novel be called a dream? We think that the world of mutants and "reincarnations" can hardly be considered a dream. The task of antiupopia is to warn the world about the danger, to warn against the wrong path. T. Tolstoy's novel contains several such warnings. The first of them is environmental warning. An explosion occurred in Russia. (The book has been written since 1986, so the association with the Chernobyl disaster naturally arises.) Two or three hundred years later, the reader finds himself in a certain small settlement surrounded by a fortress with watchtowers. The settlement is inhabited by mutant people - it looks like former Muscovites and their descendants. Somewhere outside the settlement, there are exactly the same mutant people. " And whoever was born after the Explosion, those consequences are different - all sorts. Someone's hands are swept like green flour ..., someone has gills; some have a cock's comb or something else. " The reason for such "miracles" is the frivolous behavior of people, "as if people were playing and playing with ARUZHAYA." It contains a direct reference to the urgent problem of our time - the arms race, the accumulation of atomic weapons, the problem of world instability. The second, no less significant problem raised in the novel "Kys" is, first of all, interesting is the content side. The main problem of the novel "Kys" is the search for lost spirituality, inner harmony, lost continuity of generations. It is difficult to disagree with this opinion, since the fate of the protagonist in the novel is connected with the search for the "alphabet" - that real meaning of life that he never manages to find. The problem of historical memory is also closely related to this. Nikita Ivanovich, placing the pillars with the signs "Arbat", "Garden Ring", "Kuznetsky Most," is thus trying to preserve for posterity a piece of the past, memory, history.

Annotation of the best works of modern literature. B. Akunin “Coronation. Death of the Romanovs ". This novel takes place in 1896, on the eve and during the coronation of Emperor Nicholas II. Mikhail, the four-year-old son of Grand Duke Georgy Alexandrovich, has been kidnapped. The kidnapper, who calls himself "Dr. Lind", as a ransom demands the diamond "Count Orlov", which adorns the imperial scepter. If the deal fails, the child will be returned to the parents in parts. But the coronation cannot take place without the scepter. Erast Petrovich Fandorin undertakes to save the honor of the monarchy. The narration is in the form of a diary on behalf of Afanasy Zyukin, the butler of the Grand Duke Georgy Alexandrovich. The book recreates the tragic atmosphere of Russia at the end of the 19th century and describes the Khodynka catastrophe. Akunin somewhat distorted the family ties of the Romanovs. As in all his works, he changed the names of historical figures (the Moscow chief police officer in the book is Colonel Lasovsky, whose prototype was the real Vlasovsky).

Annotation of the best works of modern literature. L. Ulitskaya "Case of Kukotsky". The plot of a book about the everyday life of a Soviet Moscow family. But even such an unoriginal plot has a huge and deep meaning. The book sharply touches upon the problem of abortion. To ruin or to give the beginning of a new life? It is this question that is being considered, as well as the attitude of people to this act. The author very interestingly and vividly describes the events of that time, the second half of the 20th century - this is the defeat of genetics, arrests and camps, Stalin's funeral, Khrushchev's thaw. The book is written in a delightful language, instantly addictive. With the joint work of Yuri Grymov and the NTV television company, a TV novel was filmed based on the book. In 2001, "Kukotsky's Case" became a Booker laureate. To date, the book has been published in more than 25 countries around the world.

Annotation of the best works of modern literature. Pavel Krusanov. The novel "Bom-bom" (2002) Was a finalist for the "National Bestseller" (2003). The novel describes the history of the old noble family of the Norushkins, which has long been set up by providence to guard the underground "devil's tower" with the mystical "wrathful" - an instrument of awakening the Russian revolt. The method used by Krusanov in the novel was defined by critics as a trap: "This trap is an unexpected weaving of a fantastic thread into the gray canvas of everyday life." »In the book, Krusanov, on the one hand, masterfully conveys the atmosphere of the deepest, sincere and completely devoid of rational roots of love for the Motherland, and on the other hand, the inseparability of the connection between the past and the present, the day of the past and the present day. It is not without reason that neither mystical enemies, nor quite material adversaries managed to destroy the family, to interrupt the tradition passed from father to son, although during the course of the rich "cryptohistorical" narration such a threat hung over the Norushkins more than once. Bom-bom is a novel about Duty and Responsibility. The reader, however, can show an act of free expression of will, having made a choice between two finals, "heads" and "tails". In the first case, the main character, our contemporary Andrei Norushkin, descends into the forbidden dungeon to awaken the bell, in the second, he continues to live as before.

Annotation of the best works of modern literature. Andrei Gelasimov “Thirst.” “The most worthwhile of all the prose examined is the story of Andrei Gelasimov“ Thirst ”. The main character(again the narrator) was disfigured in the war - his face was completely burned. Earns a living renovating apartments. In between orders, he drinks to the point of insanity - so as not to think about anything and not remember anything. "Plot Mover" - the search for a friend, a degraded alcoholic who sold his apartment and disappeared. As a result of sequentially unfolding events, the hero gradually returns to life - gets acquainted with new family father and his new sister and brother, reconciles quarreled friends, begins to paint again (before the army he studied to be an artist), in the final even a hint of the possibility of love is given ...

Annotation of the best works of modern literature. D. Novikov "A fly in amber". Dmitry Novikov burst into modern literature with the story "A Fly in Amber", published in 2002 in the magazine "Friendship of Peoples." Time is personified in a young lieutenant, under whose command five medical sailors disembarked to retrieve equipment from a warehouse. To his chagrin, sailors tired of the service - called by the author "Epicureans" - entrust themselves not to his flickering orders, but to the silent dictates of eternity, expressed in the "usual summer day"- tranquility, picturesque coastline," splendor of a fragile moment. " A beach full of tanned bathers, an unusual view of the sea from the shore - these are the very moments of the day that will be imprinted in the souls of the heroes "in the smallest detail" and "then, many years later" will illuminate their lives with "the healing delight of the fullness of life." There is a great symbol in the story. As a fly, frozen in amber, thus leaves a memory of itself, so a person, enveloped in time, enveloped in the events that occur around him, also remains eternity.

Annotation of the best works of modern literature. Denis Gutsko is little known to the general public. And the presentation of the Booker - Open Russia Prize to him in 2005 also came as a surprise to everyone. However, I have no doubt that the author received the award by right. Gutsko writes in good Russian, writes on serious topics, not playing postmodernism, not following the lead of the reader. The novel "Without a Trace" is about a young man who was born in Georgia, but after the collapse of the USSR he was forced to return to his mother's homeland, Rostov. How to settle down in a new place - and seemingly not in a foreign country - for a person brought up in different customs, in a different culture, speaking differently? It turns out that this is a big test that is difficult to pass. One fine day, Mitya cannot get a Russian passport. Begins humiliating walking around offices and standing in queues. The homeland does not want a new citizen. Vasily Aksenov caustically remarked: "The problem of obtaining a passport cannot become a problem for a novel." And the problem of finding the Motherland? Now this word is out of fashion. And for Gutsko, the topic turns out to be vital, global, the life of his hero depends on it. A person cannot be without a clan, without a tribe, live without leaving a trace. Finding a homeland means finding oneself, and Gutsko writes about this search shrilly, frankly, sometimes too dark and hopeless.

Annotation of the best works of modern literature. Andrei Dmitriev "The Bay of Joy" However, his new novel "The Bay of Joy" looks like an attempt to capture a much wider audience. Indeed, the novel cannot be called boring. In addition to the fact that it is written inventively and skillfully, it also has a distinct plot - whimsically wrapped up, addictive. In the novel, there are many characters, from the main ones to tertiary and passing ones, who should seem to us to represent an infinite variety of people rejoicing and grieving against the background of this very suburban Bay, a recreation area.

Annotation of the best works of modern literature. M. Shishkin "Venus's Hair" The Russian interpreter is constantly moving around the world - Zurich, Paris, Rome - behind him is a train of tongues. But in every city he sees a familiar grass between the stones - the fern of Venus's hair, or maidenhair - and a glance at it every time brings him back from the Euro-mech of languages ​​to the Russian system of thought, which, if it can be written down, only in Cyrillic. No wonder the hero is obsessed with the search for the grave of one of the founders of the alphabet, Saint Cyril; it is this idea that guides his wanderings. Shishkin himself speaks of his work like this: This is a book about the simplest things, without which life is impossible. Venus hair is an ant herb, which in the fleeting city of Rome is a weed, and in Russia it is a houseplant that cannot survive without human warmth. I wrote this novel in Switzerland, France, Rome. He is very Russian, but at the same time he goes beyond the boundaries of the Russian world, does not fit into them. Russia is only a small piece of God's great world.

The completed XX century has gone down in history, gradually opening up more and more opportunities for comprehending the latest literary styles. The period of literary development (1990s), which is as close as possible to the present day, is the most difficult to study. The complexity and uniqueness of the literary situation of the last one and a half decades of the XX century lies in the variety of aesthetic searches of modern writers.

The works of many contemporary poets are based on the best traditions of Russian literature. Glushkova Tatyana Mikhailovna followed the main and only, in her opinion, Pushkin tradition. She was known not only as a poet, but also as a literary critic. Her critical word was distinguished by its multidimensionality, subtle penetration into the matter of verse.

Glushkova Tatyana Mikhailovna Glushkova Tatyana Mikhailovna (), poet, prose writer, critic. She was born in Kiev. She survived the Great Patriotic War in a Little Russian village. At the age of 13, she was left without parents. In 1960 she graduated from the Literary Institute. Until 1964 she worked as a tour guide in the Pushkin Reserve in Mikhailovsky, then as a radio journalist and librarian in Kiev.

Temple of Kiev Sophia It is no coincidence that her parents named her Tatiana - in honor of her beloved heroine Pushkin. Her soul was truly Russian, like Pushkin's Tatiana. And the language of her poetry and prose is deeply Russian. “Everyone in my family was non-partisan, I would define their ideology as a passionate cult of labor in the name of the Fatherland, a cult of all non-acquisitiveness,” says Tatyana Glushkova of her parents. And she continued this ancestral line of service to the Motherland with courage and uncompromising attitude. In 1960, at the height of Khrushchev's persecution of the church, she wrote a cycle of poems about the Cathedral of Kiev Sophia. The head of her seminar at the literary institute, a classic of Soviet literature, refused to defend her diploma for such verses. Tatyana Glushkova is the keeper of the Russian word, the bearer of the Russian spirit. What happened to her Motherland happened to her. This is the cry of her soul. Poets would probably say - the cry of a wounded bird. I mean, first of all, the poems about the 91st year, when the long-term union of Soviet republics was destroyed.

The hour of Bolovezhia When my homeland was gone, I didn’t hear anything about it: so, taken care of by God, I was ill! - so that it would not be more bitter and painful for me ... When my homeland was gone, I was there, where not a grain of light: obscured, rejected, inveterate - or burned to ashen coals. When my homeland was gone, I walked the path to the unearthly homeland. But even there, as in a burning feast, the Volokolamsk nightingale did not sing ... When my Motherland was gone, I knocked at the gates of hell: take me! .. And if only my country would rise out of its weakness. When my Motherland was gone, death rose up in the entire sublunary world, rattling a song of discord and chains with a bony hand on an iron lyre. When my Motherland was gone, the One who came to us from Nazareth was orphaned no less than the poet of the last terms of my Motherland. April 8, 1992 Monument to Pushkin How gloomy, how scary in Moscow! The snow melted - and the thick green green on the glorious, rebellious head suddenly appeared, frightening the lively gaze. It flows over your chest, over your ramen, over an old lionfish. Oh my God! It is not Pushkin ahead, then death - and decay, evil imprints! They are fiercely over you! They sneer: they say, you are like dust ... Oh snowfall, give him his shirt, wrap him in a fluffy snow coat! He is cunning, your senseless executioner! He smothers now with oblivion, now with love. He stench swirls to the saint's headboard, he laughs when he hears Russian weeping.

The influence of Russian classics is also noticeable in the work of E. Asadov: civic lyrics, romantic poems about love, a cycle about nature, in which Yesenin's intonation is heard, especially in a poem about a red mongrel. Asadov's life was stamped by the war, leaving him disabled. But despite this, it was he who was the author of the most sincere and gentle poems about love, which are also interesting to modern youth.

Eduard Arkadievich Asadov Born on September 7, 1923 in the city of Merv of the Turkestan ASSR into an Armenian family. He studied at the 38th Moscow school, which he graduated in 1941. One week after High school prom the Great Patriotic War began. Asadov volunteered for the front, was a mortar gunner, then commander of the Katyusha battery on the North Caucasian and 4th Ukrainian fronts. On the night of May 3-4, 1944, in the battles for Sevastopol near Belbek, he was severely wounded by a mine fragment in the face. In 1946 he entered the Literary Institute. A.M. Gorky, who graduated with honors in 1951. In the same year he published the first collection of poems "The Bright Road" and was admitted to the CPSU and the Writers' Union. He died on April 21, 2004 in Odintsovo. Eduard Asadov bequeathed his heart to be buried on Sapun Mountain in Sevastopol, however, according to the testimony of museum workers on Sapun Mountain, the relatives were against it, so the will

Russia did not begin with a sword Russia did not begin with a sword, She began with a scythe and a plow. Not because the blood is not hot, But because the Russian shoulder Never in my life touched anger ... And the ringing battles with arrows Only interrupted her usual work. No wonder the horse of the mighty Ilya Osedlan was the master of the arable land. In the hands, cheerful only from labor, By good nature sometimes not immediately Retribution heaved. It's true. But there was never a thirst for blood. And if the hordes prevailed, Forgive, Russia, the troubles of the sons. If not for the strife of the princes, How the hordes would have been hit in the face! But only meanness rejoiced in vain. With a hero, jokes are short-lived: Yes, you can deceive a hero, But to win - these are already pipes! After all, it would be as funny as, say, to fight with the sun and moon. This is guaranteed by Lake Peipsi, the Nepryadva River and Borodino. And if the darkness of the Teutons il Batu Found an end in my homeland, Then the present proud Russia Stokrat is even more beautiful and stronger! And in the battle with the fiercest war, She managed to overcome hell. The city-heroes are a guarantee to him In the fires of fireworks on a festive night! And my country is always so strong, That it never humiliated anyone. After all, kindness is stronger than war, As disinterestedness is more effective than a sting. Dawn is rising, bright and hot. And it will be so indestructible forever. Russia did not begin with a sword, And therefore it is invincible!

In 1979, this poem was written, a reflection on the fate of the homeland, on the origins of the heroism of the Russians, on the riddle of the Russian soul. The invincibility of the Russian people is based on kindness, love for peaceful work and readiness to defend their homeland. Helps defenders of the homeland native land, they are inspired by the glory of their fathers and grandfathers. The poem remained relevant in the 21st century, which is why it was republished in 2003.

Akhmadulina Bella Akhatovna One of the largest Russian lyric poets of the second half of the XX century. Born April 10, 1937 in Moscow. She wrote poetry since childhood, studied in the literary association at ZIL with the poet E. Vinokurov. The poetry collection "Chills", which collected all the poems written over 13 years, was published by the emigrant publishing house "Posev" (1969, Germany). Despite this "seditious" event, Bella Akhmadulina's books, although they were subjected to strict censorship, continued to be published in the USSR. In 1977 she was elected an honorary fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 1988 the book "Selected" was published, followed by new collections of poetry.

Not a word about love! Not a word about love! But I do not say a word about her, nightingales have not been found in the larynx for a long time. There is a flame in the middle of an empty sky, but even on the night of the moon, not a word about love! To hold the moon over my head, I got used to it to heighten the work, to excite thoughts. But in the present moon there is a senseless charm, and the Arbat spreads like a desert of white dunes. Sister-poet-songwriter is babbling about love - I will squint half-eyed and smile half-heartedly. How visibly a palace for the Divine was erected from the thickness of the full moon, and the door was not locked. As poor Gogol is thin there, at the head of the boulevard, and alone near the universal hole. There has never been such a long moon over the world, now it will pass. Not a word about love! I lived for so long that my heart became dull, but survived in the battle with the adversity of being, and again fresh, someone's power and mercy are fresh in him. Those two under the moon - are you and me?

These are lines about eternal love in a constantly changing and renewing world. It would seem that everything is in the past, the soul has got used to everything, but a wonderful moonlit night awakens memories. And in the guises of young lovers, the heroine recognizes her features and the features of her lover. It means that love is alive, it is renewed and continues.

Nadezhda Mikhailovna Polyakova (, St. Petersburg), poet, writer, translator. She also wrote for children (Nasha Neva, 1961; Snowballs, Good Summer, 1962; We Are Flying Around the Earth, 1963, etc.). She was born in the village of Basutino, Novgorod Region. Graduated from Leningrad State University. Member of the Great Patriotic War. Member of the Writers' Union of the USSR. In "New Times" she taught and continued active writing until her death. Nadezhda Mikhailovna Polyakova

Dreams are not on our will, As a verse under someone's dictation. I play all the same role In these night TV shows. All running from someone somewhere, Freeze in the thick grass. I see again the soldier's greatcoat With blood stains on the sleeve. I see those who have been killed long ago, Without leaving the stray fire. And the Messerschmitts are buzzing over me And they are looking for me. Oh, how tired of these dreams! Just dreaming all over and over again. I wake up in my bed And disown my dreams. In this life I was not superfluous, I accepted everything that was given. Isn't there a higher film studio To watch another movie? The lament of the poets of Russia What empty words to mumble, To knock on the table with fists? Not to save Russia with poetry by the Renaissance of deserted villages. Only which of you will go to the wilderness, To the burdock expanse of the country? No relatives there, and no neighbors, And no plow, no harrow. Childhood seems golden, That it was hungry, barefoot. The grandfather's inheritance has rotted away, Smoke does not flow from the chimney. Do not walk with a carefree gait, With fragrant herbs knocking down the dew. And you drop a Nostalgic tear into the glasses of vodka.

Throughout her long life, Nadezhda Polyakova carried the memory of the war. In vivid episodes, the war burst into her early poems, she comes in terrible dreams in later lyrics. This is her heavy cross, an unhealed wound. Defending her homeland in battle, the poetess cannot remain indifferent to her future fate. In the poem of recent years, a reproach to the young generation, vegetating in inaction. The rhetorical question is extremely acute: "But who of you will go to the wilderness, to the burdock expanse of the country?" And it is necessary to go, because abandoned villages and villages, rotten ancestor's inheritance, present such a terrible picture that the memories of a hungry barefoot childhood, in comparison with them, seem like golden dreams. With a pain in his heart, the author describes the drunken nostalgia that swept over his contemporaries. Not whining and inaction, but real actions are needed in order to save Russia through the "revival of deserted villages", first of all, by returning to the origins, to nature, to the primordial village life.

Contemporary poetry continues to develop in the best traditions of Russian literature. The memory of the Great Patriotic War... Decay Soviet Union, interethnic conflicts, complications of the international situation, ecological disasters- all the problems of the late 20th - early 21st centuries are reflected in the work of poets. Now poetry is determined not by groups and trends, but by a small circle of poetic names belonging to different generations and representing different poetic inclinations. It seems that not critics, but poets are now feeling the inexhaustibility of the classical paths, returning to them in order to go through the untapped, thereby returning dignity to poetry and our life - verse, word, personality.

Russian classics in the 21st century PANIBRATOVA Svetlana Nikolaevna mbou "Mikhailovskaya ditch (s) osh" p. Mikhailovka teacher of Russian language and literature

Why are the great Russian writers of the 19th century called classics?

Their works are considered exemplary. These authors are in the public domain; they are constantly quoted, they are imitated, they are cut into maxims, they are studied in educational institutions.

Russian classical literature of the 19th century is the literature of "eternal themes". Russian writers strove to answer complex questions of life: about the meaning of life, about happiness, about the Motherland, about human nature, about the laws of life and the Universe, about God.

The 19th century is called the "Golden Age" of Russian poetry and the age of Russian literature on a global scale.

Let's check if this is so.

Here is a list of the top ten of the top 100 books, compiled by a vote of visitors to one of the sites. Works fiction any length, any genre, written in any language, at any time.

Leo Tolstoy - "War and Peace"

Fyodor Dostoevsky - "Crime and Punishment"

Fyodor Dostoevsky - The Idiot

Alexander Pushkin - "Eugene Onegin"

Mikhail Bulgakov - "Heart of a Dog"

Fyodor Dostoevsky - The Brothers Karamazov

Arthur Conan Doyle - "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes"

Leo Tolstoy - "Anna Karenina"

According to the results of an international survey of many critics (in 2009), the top three authors are most valuable for world literature:

1. Cervantes,

Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin

Maksim Gorky

Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol

Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev

What personalities most often appeared on the pages of Literaturnaya Rossiya "over the past period."

As a result, there are 45 references to Pushkin.

The next place is naturally divided by two great writers who constitute the honor and glory of classical Russian literature - Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky and Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy - 31 mentions each.

Dostoevsky is the number 1 Russian writer in the world, the most influential and cited author.

The most famous Russian poet in the world

• "This is the first poet-artist of Russia" (Belinsky);
• "In" Onegin "Pushkin was a great writer, like no one before him" (Dostoevsky).

Even then, it was possible to foresee that this would be the most famous poet in the world of all who wrote in Russian.

The most mysterious Russian writer

Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol is the most mysterious Russian writer, the owner of not only the most mysterious fate, full of mysteries, but also the creator of the most mystical works. Gogol's life is surrounded by the most fantastic rumors, legends, conjectures and myths. Until now, historians and literary scholars are trying to find out some especially mysterious pages in the fate of this great Russian classic.

"And what's so special about it? Mountains? .."
he spoke aloud, with anger at not someone,
but on yourself. What's interesting in a cold soldier's
barracks and what is interesting in the mountains themselves? thought
he is annoyed. He wanted to add: they say, already who
year! But instead he said: "What a century! .."
he seemed to have let it slip; words jumped out
shadows, and the surprised soldier was now thinking of this
a quiet thought lodged in the depths of consciousness.
Gray mossy gorges. Poor and dirty
the houses of the mountaineers, blinded like birds
nests.
But still mountains ?! Here and there they are crowded
peaks yellow from the sun. The mountains. The mountains. The mountains.

their beauty wanted to tell him? why did you call? "

oblivion is obvious to me and
injustice.
First class maybe
best of the best, supplanted by
the side of the road, into the shade of the grass that
thicker and higher. S. Shargunov.

The event in question
this book is genuine. Over forty
years ago a mysterious death
nine tourists were shocked
Sverdlovsk, although outside
few people knew about it. Military
departments and party leadership
took control of everything. but
this tragedy never stopped
excite people. In this book I
wanted to show the history of 1959
through the eyes of a person experiencing
this tragedy in the year 2000. Before
my goal was not to reveal
the terrible secret of the Mountain of the Dead, this goal is in front of you, dear
reader, but I was only trying to make
everything to facilitate the solution of this
tasks. A. Matveeva.

"From afar, Gioconda reproachfully
looked out of the frame, pursing her lips. faith
measured the picture with a reciprocal glance.
I never loved her - and in general,
love what everyone likes,
this is how to live in Sverdlovsk began
nineties: brought to
Central market party
Romanian blouses with black
"Cucumbers", and the whole city walks in them,
as in overalls.
That's how it is with Gioconda. Vera believed
her glory is exaggerated. She
loved Dürer, the simple-minded
Konrad Witz, Venice
Canaletto, loved Sargent,
Renoir - both mature and old, with
a brush tied to his hand.
Hang in front of the Mona Lisa
portrait of Jeanne Samary - more
it is not known who will win. " Enviable
the feeling of Vera Stenina.

Anna Starobinets

“I rip open the skin on my wrist.
Feelings, it turns out, are
the same as if you scratch your hand
a piece of paper: chill first
in the spine and shoulders, only
then, with great delay, -
hurt. It hurts just a little.
There is no blood. Skin is strange
peeling off my hand
wet shred, underneath I
I see a small one, from the thinnest
plastics, plate with two
neat flat
buttons. One says:
RESTART, on the other - OFF.
What other Living? They are not here. They are
lost. " A. Starobinets.
