My favourite writers

Reading is to mind what exercise is to body. The rise of television sometimes has been coupled with the dearth of books. But I dont think books need to be rescued. A book is one of the greatest wonders of the world. It gives us a unique chance to link up with authors who lived hundreds and thousands years ago. Thanks to books we can talk to people who lived in different ages and countries. Through reading books we hear their voices, thoughts and feelings. The book is the surest way to bring nations together. It gives us an insight not only into the past, but also into the future. The book is a faithful and undemanding friend: it can be put aside and be taken again at any moment.

As for me, Im fond of reading. I became very keen on literature early in life. Books stirred my imagination, expanded the boundaries of the familiar world and filled my life with great expectations of joy and happiness. Since childhood I have been enchanted by Pushkin and Gogol, Chekhov and Turgenev, by poetry of Yesenin and Pasternak. Later on I got acquainted with Dantes “Divine Comedy” and Ancient Greek mythology and legends.

I think we cant live without books. I consider, that books are with us during all our life. To my mind the house looks glum and joyless without books. I like to read books about the history of our country, about famous people and the life of my contemporaries abroad. Literature means much in my life. It helps to form the character and the world outlook, to understand life better. Books give information and knowledge, educate, give pleasure and sometimes they help people to forget about problems.

Dickens was born in 1812 in Portsmouth. He was the second of the eight children in the family. Although not poor by the standards of the time, the Dickens family lived through a series of financial crises. In 1823 facing a financial ruin, the family moved to London, where Charles began to work in a warehouse for six shillings a week. At that time his father was arrested for debt. Only at the age of twelve Charles was sent to school, where he did well, and at the age of fifteen he got a job in a legal firm. After learning shorthand, he became a reporter for the “Morning Chronicle” and soon wrote “Pickwick Papers”. In 1836, when “Pickwick Papers” were published, he became the most popular living novelist in England and held this position until he died. Then he published novel after novel- “Oliver Twist”, “Nickolas Nickleby”, “The Old Curiosity Shop”, “David Copperfield”, “Little Dorit” and many others. Besides constantly writing novels he was editing newspapers and magazines, giving readings from his books to huge crowds of people.

There was no other novelist in England who had such a hold on all classes of people already during his lifetime. His books were read by all- by learned and simple people, by the rich and the poor alike.

The popularity of his books hasnt diminished with time. The great-heartedness of the author appeals to the contemporary reader as much as it did a century ago. His kindly, understanding eye looks with tolerance on good and bad alike. Dickens believes in kindness and generosity of people. Its not just a happy end that his books have, its a philosophy which gives optimism and faith to the reader.

Also, I have an interest in American literature. Ive read several books by American writers. The first American writer who came my way was Jack London whose stories struck me by unusual situations and the courage of his heroes. A also admire the humour of Mark Twain. Ive read some of his stories and ,of course, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn”. But my favourite American writer is Ernest Hemingway. When I read his biography I was impressed by his personality. He was born in 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois. His life was full of adventures and events that required courage, strong will and determination. He began his career as a brave war correspondent during World War I. The scope of his interests was incredibly wide.

His war experience and adventurous life provided the background for many of his short stories and novels. He achieved success with “ A Farewell to Arms”, the story of a love affair between an American lieutenant and an English nurse during World War I.

Hemingway actively supported the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. In his articles he denounced the fascist regime of Franco. “The Fifth Column” is a play about the Civil War in Spain.

In 1940 Hemingway completed the novel “For Whom the Bell Tolls”. Its a story about a young American teacher of Spanish who joins the Spanish partisans and gives his life for the cause of freedom.

In 1952 Hemingway finished his tale “The Old Man and the Sea”. This story about an old Cuban fisherman is a hymn to human courage and endurance. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954.

Hemingway is famous for his simple style, which has been widely imitated but never achieved by other writers. His heroes show courage in the face of danger, the feature which Hemingway admired grealty and which he himself possessed. Unwilling to live with the grave physical disease, Hemingway committed suicide, as his father had done before him under similar circumstances.

Belorusian writers: Our country is rich in remarkable authors. First of all Id like to mention the names of our outstanding national writers Yanka Kupala and Yakub Kolas, the voices of Belarus. They created a new Belorusian literature and a Belorusian liteary language. Both are considered to be the classics of Belorusian literature. These names are followed by a number of other well-known writers and poets, such as K. Krapiva, K. Chorny, P. Brovka, A. Adamovich, M. Bogdanovich, I. Melezh, V. Korotkevich(“Old Legend”, “The Black Castle of Olshany”, “The Wild Hunt of King Stakh”, “Impossible to Forget”, “The Land Beneath White Wings”, “Kalasy Pad Siarpom Tvaim”), V. Bykov known both in our country and abroad.

Russian writers: A. Pushkin, I. Turgenev, F. Dostoevsky, L. Tolstoy, A. Chekov, M. Lermontov etc.

My Favourite Writer (I. Turgenev)

I"m fond of reading. Usually I borrow books from the library, but I have a lot of them at home, too. I like to read books about famous people and detective stories. Literature means much in my life. It helps to form the character and to understand life better.

There are some names in Russian and Foreign literature that are very dear to me.

In Russian literature I highly appreciate Ivan Sergiyovych Turgenev. For me he is a real intellectual and aristocrat, a man of culture, devoted to literature, music and art. Though he lived abroad for a long time he didn"t stop to be a Russian writer-for a moment. He created a number of national characters in his books. The image of Turgenev s woman, deeply feeling, faithful and tender is an ideal of a Russian woman for me. It doesn"t lose its charm even today.

Of the present day writers and poets I like Eugenij Evtushenko, Valentin Rasputin, Valentin Pikul, Boris Vasyljev. Their works are very human and realistic. They assert high moral principles in life.

And this is very important nowadays. My favourite writer is O"Henry, too. In my childhood I was deeply impressed by his story "The Last Leaf". Since then I bear in my heart the image of a young girl suffering from the incurable illness, and her friends doing all they can to give her hope and bring back to life.

Мой любимый писатель (И. Тургенев)

Я люблю читать. Обычно я беру книги в библиотеке, но у меня много книг и дома. Мне нравится читать книги о знаменитых людях и детективы. Литература много значит в моей жизни. Она помогает сформировать характер и лучше понять жизнь.

В российской и зарубежной литературе есть имена, которые очень дороги мне.

В русской литературе я высоко ценю Ивана Сергеевича Тургенева. Для меня он - настоящий интеллигент и аристократ, культурный человек, преданный литературе, музыке и искусству. Хотя он долго жил за рубежом, он ни на секунду не переставал быть русским писателем. В своих книгах он создал галерею национальных характеров. Образ тургеневской женщины, способной на глубокое чувство, искренней и нежной, - для меня идеал русской женщины. Этот образ не потерял свою привлекательность и сегодня.

Среди современных писателей и поэтов мне нравятся Евгений Евтушенко, Валентин Распутин, Валентин Пикуль, Борис Васильев. Их произведения человечны и реалистичны. Они отстаивают высокие жизненные и моральные принципы.

И это очень важно именно сейчас. Еще мне нравится О" Генри. В детстве на меня произвел сильное впечатление его рассказ «Последний лист». С тех пор я ношу в сердце образ молодой девушки, которая страдает от неизлечимой болезни, и ее друзей, .которые делают все, что в их силах, чтобы дать ей надежду и вернуть к жизни.

Western Kazakhstan is a land, where Makhambet, batyr and long-suffering poet-stormy petrel, was born. All his life unclouded childhood and his youth had passed. All his life “started with joy and ended in failure” passed on this land – on the shore of Edil and yaik, on sands of naryn, Beketai and Taisoigan.

For us and for the future generation these sand-hills, these “lakes and waters of the sandstone”, these delicate willows, even a lonely plane-tree, a lonely bush of wornwood, these eternally sleeping boulders are the sacred heritage of Makhambet’s time.

So long as Kazakh people “could not live independently” (A.Baitursynov), a land between Edil and Yaik had been under foreign possession since 1731 to 1801, when Abulkhair-khan adopted a Russian citizenship. Only in 1801 a white tsar of Russia gave Bokey a permission to use the samara steppe. The Decree of Tsar Paul I runs: “While accepting sultan Bokey Nuralykhanuly, governing the Khan Council of Small Orda, in our citizenship, I allow him to roam all over this land; as a token of accord I award him a golden medal with my portrait”.

In the beginning, all those events taking place aroud the khan seemed appropriate to Isatai and Makhambet. At that time they were the Elders of two districts. However, in the course of time, a capricious egoist Jangir started displaying unprecedented unlawful actions. A brave man, as well as a poet with a tender heart, Makhambet was a soul of the uprising, and he was the first who urged isatai on the way of resolute armed struggle.

“The gravest unlawful action was the fact that the land graned by the tsar to Kazakh people, was considered by Jangir as his wn property. He created a view, according to which, the land of common people had been the khan’s property. In 1836 he announced 400.000 acres of land, grated by the tsar to Kazakh people, as the khan’s share. The remaining land was distributed to his relatives and tore. He started taking lands away from tribes, villages he did not like. (K.Dosmukhamedov)

As a result, “In a fussy spring of 1836, people’s anger against the khan and the khodjas; against the tore and the tulengits, against their tsar-patron, turned into a general uprising. The people, with their own hand, sealed Isatai on a horse and hoisted his flag with horse-hair on the top of the lofty hill. A bloody fight against the tsar’s troops and khan’s yassak, which lasted one and half years, has started.” (B.Amanshin).

My favourite Kazakh writer

My favorite Kazakh writer, Mukhtar Auezov, was born in 1897. He is a man of encyclopedic knowledge and erudition. Mukhtar Auezov is a significant person both in his life and creative activity. He wrote more than twenty plays and many magnificent stories. The top of his activity was the epopee about Abai. The first 20 years of Auezov’s life resemble the childhood, youth and young years of his favourite poet and spiritual teacher- Abai. Later in his famous work he described the same steppe, the same aul, the same social atmosphere.
With his works, Mukhtar Auezov raised the Kazakh literature up to the highest level. Many works of different genres belong to him.

His brilliant translations of world literary classics confirm his great talent. He published many interesting articles, made reports, composed textbooks and read lectures in colleges and universities. His professional researches became basis for some new branches in studying folklore, epos, history and linguistics of the Turks. He was elected as a professor of the Moscow State University.

His main work is closely connected with the image of the great son of the Kazakh people Abai. He devoted more than 15 years of his life to writing this book. This book was the most significant for him. As the writer said, the process of writing the novels about Abai turned into the most fascinating business of all his life. This book was called the original encyclopedia of many-sided features of the Kazakh people mode of life. It opened a vivid variety of culture and history of the ancient land and showed the riches of its customs and traditions to the whole world.

The works written by Mukhtar Auezov are still popular even now and are considered the original classics of the Kazakh literature. His name remained eternally in the memory of many people.

It is very difficult for me to choose out of them one name as my favourite writer because I can’t say I’ve read enough and know enough about English literature to make the right judgement. Yet, when I think about it, the first name that comes to my mind is that of Charles Dickens.

This English classic is well-known in our country. His books are translated into Russian and many films have been made after his novels.

Bom in 1812 in Portsmouth, he was the second of the eight children in the family. Although not poor by the standards of the time, the Dickens family lived through a series of financial crises. In 1823 facing a financial ruin, the family moved to London, where Charles began to work in a warehouse for six shillings a week. At that time his father was arrested for debt. Only at the age of twelve Charles was sent to school, where he did well, and at the age of fifteen he got a job in a legal firm. After learning shorthand, he became a reporter for the «Morning Chronicle» and soon wrote «Pickwick Papers». In 1836, when «Pickwick Papers» were published, he became the most popular living novelist in England and held this position until he died. The rest can be told in a few words. He published novel after novel- «Oliver Twist», «Nickolas Nickleby», «The Old Curiosity Shop», «David Copperfield», «Little Dorrit» and many others. Besides constantly writing novels he was editing newspapers and magazines, giving readings from his books to huge crowds of people.

There was no other novelist in England who had such a hold on all classes of people already during his lifetime. His books were read by all - by learned and simple people, by the rich and the poor alike.

The popularity of his books hasn’t diminished with time. The great-heartedness of the author appeals to the contemporary reader as much as it did a century ago. His kindly, understanding eye looks with tolerance on good and bad alike.

The last book by Ch.Dickens I’ve read is «Oliver Twist». It’s a very touching story about the hard life of English orphans in the workhouse. The miserable adventures of Oliver Twist can’t leave the reader indifferent. There is no better description of children’s suffering in the world of cruelty and greediness as there’s always a glimpse of hope for every character of his books, because Dickens believes in kindness and generosity of people. It’s not just a happy end that his books have, it’s a philosophy which gives optimism and faith to the reader.

I’ve read several books by American writers. The first American writer who came my way was Jack London whose stories struck me by unusual situations and the courage of his heroes. I also admire the humour of Mark Twain. I’ve read some of his stories and, of course, «The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn». A few years later I happened to read «А Farewell to Arms» by Ernest Hemingway and since then I’ve been fascinated by this great American writer.

When I read his biography I was impressed by his personality. He was born in 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois. His life was full of adventures and events that required courage, strong will and determination. He began his career as a brave war correspondent during the first world war. The scope of his interests was incredibly wide.

His war experience and adventurous life provided the background for many of his short stories and novels. He achieved success with «А Farewell to Arms», the story of a love affair between an American lieutenant and an English nurse during the first world war.

Hemingway actively supported the Republicans in the Spanish civil war. In his articles he denounced the fascist regime of Franco. «The Fifth Column» is a play about the Civil War in Spain.

In 1940 Hemingway completed the novel «For Whom the Bell Tolls». It’s a story about a young American teacher of Spanish who joins the Spanish partisans and gives his life for the cause of freedom.

In 1952 Hemingway finished his tale «The Old Man and the Sea». This story about an old Cuban fisherman is a hymn to human courage and endurance. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954.

Hemingway is famous for his simple style, which has been widely imitated but never achieved by other writers. His heroes

show courage in the face of danger, the feature which Hemingway admired greatly and which he himself possessed. Unwilling to live with the grave physical disease, Hemingway committed suicide, as his father had done before him under similar circumstances.

As far as Russian literature is concerned it’s hard to name one favourite writer and one favourite book especially if we talk about the 19th and the beginning of the the 20th centuries, known as the «golden» and «silver» periods in the Russian culture. Such giants of Russian literature as A.Pushkin, I.Turgenev, F.Dostoyevsky, L.Tolstoy, A.Chekhov and many others are known all over the world.

The writer who stands out of this list for me is Dostoyevsky. I look upon him not only as a great writer but a great philosopher as well. His ideas had an immense influence on the literature that followed and his deep penetration into the human soul and the motives of people’s behaviour impresses the modern reader as much as it did his contemporaries.

Dostoyevsky was bom in Moscow in 1821 into a many-children family of a doctor. Though the Dostoyevskies were a middle-class family the father was able to provide the best education for his sons. They studied at one of the most prestigious Moscow private schools of the time. After leaving school, F. Dostoyevsky entered the Engineering College in St.Petersburg. He started writing at the age of 25. His first publication was the novel «Poor People». In 1849 he was arrested for his political views and spent four years of his life as a convict.

Some years later Dostoyevsky and his brother Michael, who was his best friend throughout his life, started publishing a literary magazine «The Time». His world-famous masterpieces were all written between 1850 and 1880. For many years Dostoyevsky suffered from epilepsy and that caused his death in 1881.

Among his outstanding novels are «The Brothers Karamazov», «Humiliated and Abused», «Crime and Punishment», «The Idiot», «Demons». I’ve read all of them, but I think I am most impressed by «The Idiot».

In this novel Dostoyevsky wanted to depict a living ideal man. As he was deeply interested in religion and knew a lot about it, he was convinced that Jesus Christ was the only positive person in the history of mankind. That is why the main character of the novel, Pri nce Myshkin, resembles Christ in his qualities and intentions. Myshkin was Dostoyevsky’s favourite character. He comes back to Russia from Switzerland, but can’t find his place in the society of «the cult of money». He argues with other characters of the novel about beauty and morality. But like Griboyedov’s hero Chatsky he can’t change much about the world he lives in. Myshkin can’t be understood by the society which considers him «an idiot». Dostoyevsky contrasts two different approaches to human virtues and beauty. The main character says that beauty will save the world. But in the end he realizes that it is beauty that should be rescued. Unable to adjust to the cruel society he found himself in, he becomes mentally ill and is taken back to Switzerland.

My favorite writer

I"m fond of reading. I have a lot of books at home and sometimes I borrow books from the library. I like to read history books, novels and plays. Reading is a very pleasant and useful part of my life, it helps me to understand life and people better.

I would like to tell you about my favorite writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. In my opinion, Chekhov is the greatest Russian dramatist and short-story writer. I"m never tired of reading his humorous stories and plays, sometimes I even reread them.

Chekhov was bom on January 29, 1860 in Taganrog. In 1879 he went to Moscow to study medicine. Chekhov was very proud of his medical knowledge, even though he didn`t practice medicine very much, it was more important to him, than his writing talent.

While he was studying in college, Chekhov supported his family by writing humorous sketches for newspapers. In 1886 he collected the best ones into a book and called it «Motley Stories». This book attracted the attention of the publisher of the famous Russian newspaper «Novoje Vremja» and Chekhov was asked to send his stories to the newspaper regularly.

Chekhov, managed to develop his own writing style. He wrote not only comic stories, but he was a serious dramatist. His first play "Ivanov", was written in 1887.

Chekhov was seriously ill with tuberculosis and knew what it meant. In 1892 he was feeling so bad, he was afraid to stay in Moscow. He bought a small estate, which was situated near Melikhovo (a village, 50 miles from Moscow) . Inspite of his bad health, the writer spent 5 very happy years there. He wrote some of his best stories there, such as "Ward No.6", two of his serious dramatic masterpieces - "Uncle Vanya"and "The Seagull" and several well-known one-act comedies.

"The Seagull" was a complete failure when it was first staged in the Alexandrinsky Theatre in Saint-Petersburg. The production was dull and clumsy, and it was terrible for Chekhov. However, the play was successfully performed in 1898 at the Moscow Art Theatre. Since then, Chekhov was closely connected with this theatre and its founder, K.S. Stanislavsky. In 1901 Chechov married Olga Knipper, the actress, who acted in his play «The Three Sisters».

Chekhov"s health continued to get worse, so he had to spend the remaining years in the Crimea and other health resorts.

His last play, "The Cherry Orchard" was produced in 1904. Soon after the premiere Chekhov died at the age of 44.

Chekhov had an immense influence on the 20th century drama. Russian and foreign writers study Chechov`s stories and plays to make their literary style better.

Мой любимый писатель

Я люблю читать. У меня дома много книг, а иногда я беру книги из библиотеки. Я люблю читать книги по истории, романы и пьесы. Чтение - приятная и полезная часть моей жизни, она помогает мне лучше понять жизнь и людей.
Я хочу рассказать вам о своем любимом писателе Антоне Павловиче Чехове. По моему мнению, Чехов - самый великий русский драматург и автор коротких рассказов. Я никогда не устаю читать его юмористические рассказы и пьесы, а иногда даже перечитываю их.

Чехов родился в Таганроге 29 января 1860 года. В 1879 году он уехал в Москву, чтобы изучать медицину. Чехов очень гордился своим знанием медицины, даже несмотря на то, что не так много практиковал, это было для него важнее, чем его писательский талант.

Во время учебы в университете, Чехов писал юмористические рассказы для газет, чтобы поддерживать свою семью. В 1886 году он собрал лучшие в сборник, который назвал "Пестрые рассказы". Эта книга привлекла внимание издателя известной в России газеты «Новое Время», и Чехову было предложено регулярное сотрудничество.

Чехову удалось разработать свой собственный стиль. Он писал не только юмористические рассказы, но так же был и серьезным драматургом. Его первая пьеса "Иванов" была написана в 1887 году.

Чехов был серьезно болен туберкулезом и знал, что это значит. В 1892 она так плохо себя чувствовал, что боялся оставаться в Москве. Он купил небольшое имение, расположенное рядом с Мелихово (деревня в 50 километрах от Москвы). И, несмотря на болезнь, он провел там 5 очень счастливых лет. Он написал там несколько своих лучших рассказов, таких как "Палата № 6", два серьезных драматических шедевра - "Дядя Ваня" и "Чайка", и несколько известных одноактных комедий.

"Чайка" провалилась, когда впервые была поставлена в Александринском театре в Санкт-Петербурге. Постановка была скучной и неуклюжей, и для Чехова это было ужасно. Тем не менее, пьеса была успешно поставлена в 1898 году Московским Художественным театром. С тех пор, Чехов был тесно связан с этим театром, и с его основателем, К. С. Станиславским. В 1901 г. Чехов женился на актрисе Ольге Книппер, которая играла в его пьесе "Три сестры".

Здоровье Чехова становилось все хуже и хуже, поэтому ему пришлось провести оставшиеся годы в Крыму и других курортах.

Его последняя пьеса "Вишневый сад", была поставлена в 1904 году. Вскоре после премьеры Чехов скончался в возрасте 44 лет.

Чехов оказал огромное влияние на драматическое искусство 20-го века. Российские и зарубежные писатели изучают рассказы и пьесы Чехова, чтобы улучшить свой литературный стиль.
