TOP 5 CHRISTMAS BOOKS

 Waiting for Christmas is a special time when you really want to believe in a miracle. It's good if a snowball crunches under your feet, your cheeks are rosy from the frost, garlands illuminate everything around and joy overwhelms. But if there is no mood, you don't want a holiday and you can't believe in a miracle, then you urgently need to create a mood for yourself! You can arrange a marathon of festive movies and cartoons. And it is no less interesting to arrange a book trip for yourself. Our selection of books will be an excellent guide for you. 1. "Little Match Girl" Hans Christian Andersen Probably, even the most cynical, hard and indifferent person will have feelings after reading this fairy tale.

The baby is forced to warm up thanks to a small box of matches, but there is no sense from them on a winter...

10 tips for reading

Reading by Angela Wöllmer is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 I international License.  Based on a work at https://flic.kr/p/QPrSqr In the conditions of active urban life, few people manage to organize ideal conditions for reading, but I will still describe them here to determine what is worth striving for. Reading tips: 1. Get yourself a favourite place to read. You can choose different places for different texts: for example, professional literature can be read at the table, and fiction can be read in an armchair or on the sofa. 2. Relax and calm down: unnecessary gestures distract. Also, do not combine reading with eating and drinking. 3. The text should be well lit. It is advisable to use an additional light source for this. If you are right-handed, install the lamp on the left, if left-handed, then on the right. 4. Place the book at a distance of 35-40 cm from the eyes. It is best to keep it tilted so that all lines are equidistant. It is good to use a book st...

War and peace

War and Peace   by   Yale   is licensed under a   Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License . Based on a work at   https://www.deviantart.com/yalex/art/War-and-Peace-59292967 .  I wanted to write a separate post about Leo Tolstoy's work war and peace because it is one of the greatest works of Russian literature. This novel is unique in the history of world literature, telling about the life of Russian society in the era of the war with Napoleon. The work has been a constant success among readers and literary researchers all over the world for many years. Throughout the work on the novel, Lev Nikolaevich was critical of the work done. In an effort to write a work worthy of attention, he created 15 different versions of the beginning of the novel. Before publication, the author renamed his work. The meaning of the title "War and Peace" is that the author, using the example of different characters and different social strata of society, showed the...

Watchmen- the first comic book I read

Watchmen   by   Ann Plzz   is licensed under a   Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License . Based on a work at   https://flic.kr/p/2mBTj4u . For a long time, I was cold to the comics themselves, although I really liked watching them being adapted on big screens in the form of films or cartoons. In 2009, director Zack Snyder released his film "Watchmen", which was based on a comic book of the same name. The film hooked me and I watched it more than once later. Once I was intrigued by a phrase, the essence of which was that the film, first of all, is good because of the original source, that is the comic book. I was fired up with the idea of reading a comic book, but apparently, I didn't catch fire so much, because I read my first comic book only this year. But I will not continue to call the "Watchmen" a comic book. I've seen comics on bookstalls and most of them are mediocre stories with equally mediocre illustrations. "Watchmen" is s...

Russian literature (1)

 I have had a love for russian literature since childhood, since my father loves to read, my grandfather has a huge library. Russian literature is quite rich, and the love of reading is a certain trait of russian people. Many people abroad know who Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Bulgakov are. For the first time in my blog, I will tell you about my favourite Russian writers and where to start if you want to get acquainted with russian literature. Mikhail Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita" One of the most mysterious and amazing novels of the XX century. The novel "The Master and Margarita" is the business card of Mikhail Bulgakov. For more than ten years, he worked on the book that became his destiny novel, a testament novel. In "The Master and Margarita" there is everything: cheerful mischief and aching sadness, romantic love and witchcraft obsession, magical mystery and reckless play with evil spirits. Mikhail Sholokhov "And Quiet Flows the Don" Mikhai...
