Russian folk tales

Reading Russian folk tales means becoming familiar with the culture of the people, one’s roots, beginning to understand their past and foreseeing the future. The tradition of reading bedtime stories to children has not disappeared. It is fairy tales that teach children to distinguish good from bad, truth from lies, good from evil. To teach reading at school, they use the texts of fairy tales and Ivan Tsarevich, Baba Yaga, the Frog Princess, the cunning fox and the simpleton wolf remain with us for the rest of our lives.

Tales of Hans Christian Andersen. Danish fairy tales

— Andersen is the love of my life! - admits Lyudmila Braude, translator. — His fairy tales are for everyone - both children and adults. If I hadn’t read Andersen’s fairy tales, I don’t know how I would have survived the blockade and how I would have waited for my dad from the front. Andersen gave me, then just a little girl, the faith that everything would be fine. For me, even now, a fairy tale is a guide to life. Sometimes I remember some life situations and think: it’s like in a fairy tale! I know: if you read fairy tales to a child as a child, he will love good books. I really want the fairy tales of our writers to be translated into Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian... I am sure that Scandinavian children will also like Russian folk tales. Continuation

Fairy tales

Fairy tales are different: funny and sad, kind and not so kind, moralizing and educational. Any fairy tale captivates and takes you to another, magical, exciting world full of mysteries and secrets. But a fairy tale should not only entertain, but also give reason to think about eternal truths: good and evil, truth and lies. A fairy tale must be understood not only with the mind, but also felt with all the heart. A good fairy tale will definitely leave its mark on the soul.

Children need fairy tales like air. Fairy tales will help them become wiser, kinder, more tolerant, understand what good is and try, together with fairy-tale characters, to defeat evil. In a fairy tale you can find a way out of any, even the most confusing and hopeless situation, because in a fairy tale everything is possible! It is important that a fairy tale instills in children the ability to find the best path in life, the ability to make the right choice. For example, avoiding problems, as in the fairy tale “The Ugly Duckling.” Or look for another path, albeit difficult and time-consuming, and maybe even dangerous at times, but one that will lead to what you want. So Gerda, in the fairy tale “The Snow Queen,” went through a difficult path, was not afraid of difficulties and saved Kai, melting the ice in his heart.

Good fairy tales have an ironic attitude towards what is happening, and aggression is always seen as a loss. In most fairy tales, only through unity, patience and perseverance do the heroes achieve much. And if the hero also has a kind, sympathetic heart and directly perceives reality (like Ivanushka the Fool), then in the end the hero always remains a winner and receives more than it seemed at first.

A fairy tale can have an impact on your entire life. Sometimes, as the reader grows up, a fairy tale he likes reveals new meaning and answers to eternal questions are found. Although a fairy tale is fiction and therefore should not provide precise or chronological knowledge, a fairy tale can and does teach, passing on experience and showing it through the examples of its characters, which is sometimes more than “dry” knowledge.

As the great storyteller Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin wrote about the fairy tale: “The fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it for good fellows,” thereby hinting at useful skills conveyed by the fairy tale, such as tolerance, hard work, honesty, wisdom, and the ability to forgive. Or maybe in a fairy tale there is only a hint of a lie, and if the reader reads between the lines, you will see one truth. which will help you see the invisible - a living soul that can laugh and cry, be sad and have fun. In a fairy tale, you can see the soul of a blade of grass, which sways with a light breeze, as if it wants to say something. See the soul of the leaves dancing in the wind. Finally, to see the soul of the most ordinary umbrella, calendar, galoshes and other inanimate fairy tale characters. Everything, even inanimate objects, contains human labor and its own energy, which is transferred to the objects.

In any case, a fairy tale serves as an intermediate bridge between fiction and reality. There is a place in the soul of every person for a fairy tale. Maybe your fairy tale will be brought to life by one of his readers, and after reading the fairy tale “Magic Colors” the child will become a great artist.

Fairy tales are a brilliant human invention that combines almost all genres of folklore and folk art. In a fairy tale there can be a place for myths and legends with their own ideas about the world, about the past, about gods and traditions. There are fairy tales that resemble epics with the heroic deeds of heroes. The fairy tale also has something of a fable and a parable, where the vices of people are ridiculed with the help of things, plants and animals. Reading fairy tales, I remember well-known proverbs and sayings (very often: “You can’t pull a fish out of a pond without effort”, “Don’t go into the forest if you’re afraid of a wolf”). Fairy tales often contain wise riddles, after solving which the hero receives a reward. Finally, you can learn from fairy tales: study nature and the environment, the life and customs of peoples, history and religion. What is especially important in teaching children, because... It is in fairy tales that the material is presented in an accessible, interesting and exciting form.

Not every fairy tale can be remembered and embedded in the reader’s soul. And it can be both kind and cheerful, and sad and sorrowful. The choice is always up to the reader - these can be folk tales, and tales of famous and unknown writers.
