My favorite english writer топик. Топик по английскому «Мои любимые писатели» (My Favourite Writers)

My favourite writer is Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. In my opinion, he is the greatest Russian dramatist and short-story writer. I"m never tired of reading and rereading his plays and humorous stories.

Chekhov was bom in 1860 in Taganrog. In 1879 he went to Moscow, where he studied medicine. Though he practised little as a doctor in his lifetime, he was prouder of his medical knowledge more than of his writing talent.

While in college, Chekhov wrote humorous sketches for comic papers to support his family. He collected the best ones into a volume, Motley Stories, in 1886. The book attracted the attention of the publisher of the Novoje Vremja and Chekhov was asked to contribute stories regularly.

Chekhov, as an established writer, managed to develop a style of his own. Though he never gave up writing comic stories, he began working in a more serious vein. In 1887 "Ivanov", his first play, established Chekhov as a dramatist.

From then on, he concentrated on writing plays, as well as short stories.

Chekhov was seriously ill. He had tuberculosis and knew what it meant. By 1892 his health was so bad that he was afraid to spend another winter in Moscow. He bought a small estate near a village Melikhovo, 50 miles from Moscow. He spent 5 years there, and those were happy years in spite of the illness. He wrote some of his best stories there, including "Ward No.6", several well-known one-act comedies and two of his serious dramatic masterpieces, "The Seagull" and "Uncle Vanya".

"The Seagull" was first staged in the Alexandrinsky Theatre in Petersburg. It was a complete failure because of the dull and clumsy production. It was a cruel blow to Chekhov. However, the play was successfully performed as the first production of the Moscow Art Theatre in 1898. From then on, Chekhov was closely connected with this theatre and with its founder, K.S. Stanislavsky. In 1901 he married an Art Theatre actress, Olga Knipper, who acted in his play The Three Sisters the same year.

Chekhov"s health went from bad to worse and he had to spend the remaining years in the Crimea and other health spas.

"The Cherry Orchard", his last play, was produced in 1904. Soon after the first night Chekhov died. He was 44.

Chekhov had an immense influence on the 20th century drama. Besides, several generations of writers both in Russia and abroad studied and imitated Chekhov to perfect their own literary style.

Мой любимый писатель (Антон Павлович Чехов)

Мой любимый писатель - Антон Павлович Чехов. По-моему, он самый великий русский драматург и автор коротких рассказов. Я никогда не устаю читать и перечитывать его пьесы и юмористические рассказы.

Чехов родился в Таганроге в 1860 году. В 1879 году он уехал в Москву, где изучал медицину. Хотя он мало практиковал как врач в своей жизни, он гордился своими медицинскими знаниями больше, чем писательским талантом.

В университете, Чехов писал юмористические рассказы для газет, чтобы поддерживать свою семью. Он собрал лучшие в сборник "Пестрые рассказы", в 1886 году. Книга привлекла внимание издателя Нового Времени, крупной газеты в России, и Чехову было предложено сотрудничать регулярно.

Чехову, как признаному писателю, удалось разработать свой собственный стиль. Хотя он никогда не бросал писать юмористические рассказы, он начал работать в более серьезном ключе. В 1887 "Иванов", первая пьеса, созданная Чеховым, ознаменовала его как драматурга.

С тех пор он сконцентрировался на написании пьес, а также коротких рассказов.

Чехов был серьезно болен. Он болел туберкулезом и знал, что это значит. К 1892 его здоровье было настолько плохо, что он боялся провести еще одну зиму в Москве. Он купил небольшое имение близ деревни Мелихово, в 50 километрах от Москвы. Он провел там 5 лет, и это были счастливые годы, несмотря на болезнь. Он написал там несколько своих лучших рассказов, в том числе "Палата № 6", несколько известных одноактных комедий и два серьезных драматических шедевра, "Чайка" и "Дядя Ваня".

"Чайка" была впервые поставлена в Александринском театре в Петербурге. Это был полный провал из-за скучной и неуклюжой постановки. Это было жестоким ударом для Чехова. Тем не менее, пьеса была успешно поставлена Московским Художественным театром в 1898 году. С тех пор, Чехов была тесно связан с этим театром, и с его основателем, К. С. Станиславским. В 1901 г. он женился на актрисе МХАТ, О. Л. Книппер, которая играла в его пьесе "Три сестры" в том же году.

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

"Вишневый сад ", свою последнюю пьесу он выпустил в 1904 году. Вскоре после премьеры Чехов скончался. Ему было 44.

Чехов оказал огромное влияние на драму двадцатого века. Кроме того, несколько поколений писателей в России и за рубежом изучали его творчество и подражали ему, чтобы совершенствовать свой собственный литературный стиль.

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 Sergeyevich 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 Eugene Evtushenko, Valentin Rasputin, Valentin Pikul, Boris Vasilyev. Their works are very human and realistic. They assert high moral principles in life. And this is very important nowadays.

My favourite foreign writer is O’Henry. 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.

Перевод

Я люблю читать. Обычно я беру книги в библиотеке, но у меня дома их тоже много. Я люблю читать книги о знаменитых людях и детективные рассказы. Литература много значит в моей жизни. Она помогает мне сформировать характер и лучше понять жизнь.

Есть несколько имен в русской и зарубежной литературе, которые очень дороги для меня. В русской литературе я высоко ценю Ивана Сергеевича Тургенева. Для меня он является настоящим интеллектуалом и аристократом, человеком культуры, преданным литературе, музыке и искусству. Хотя он и жил за границей в течение длительного времени, он не переставал быть русским писателем ни на минуту. Он создал ряд национальных символов в своих книгах. Образ тургеневской женщины: с глубокими чувствами, верной и нежной, является идеалом русской женщины для меня. Она не теряет своего очарования и сегодня.

Из современных писателей и поэтов, мне нравится Евгений Евтушенко, Валентин Распутин, Валентин Пикуль, Борис Васильев. Их работы очень человечные и реалистичные. Они утверждают высокие моральные принципы жизни. И это очень важно в наше время.

Мой любимый иностранный писатель — О" Генри. В детстве я был глубоко впечатлен его рассказом "Последний лист". С тех пор я ношу в своем сердце образ молодой девушки, страдающей от неизлечимой болезни, и ее друзей, которые делают все возможное, чтобы дать надежду и вернуть её к жизни.

На этой странице находится топик по английскому по теме MY FAVOURITE WRITERS

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.

Reading is one of my hobbies, and that"s why I try to use every spare minute to read. I like different kinds of literature.

I like Russian and foreign, classic and modern literature. I usually read different books: love stories, detective stories or historical novels.

I want to tell you about my favourite writer, it is Alexandra Marinina. She is considered to be a Russian Queen of detective prose. The works of this author are really interesting.

In all books there are the same characters and starting a new book you meet old friends. The author used to work as an investigator and she knows how to arouse the readers interest and at the same time writes the facts that could take place.

Many detective novels by Marinina are translated into foreign languages and foreign readers can compare our writer with Agatha Christie. When I got acquainted with these books I was greatly impressed by the wit and humour.

The main character, a slender and weak woman, doesn"t need to fight with the criminals using judo or something like that. She is very clever and intelligent. Her brain works as a good computer.

All the actions and characters are described so vividly that I had a feeling of our possible meeting when I visited Moscow last summer. Unfortunately I don"t have complete works by Marinina, it"s impossible, she"s still writing. But I always recommend my friends to read these books.

Перевод текста: My Favourite Writer (A. Marinina) - Мой любимый писатель (А. Маринина)

Чтение — одно из моих увлечений, и поэтому я стараюсь использовать каждую свободную минуту, чтобы почитать. Я люблю разные жанры литературы.

Я люблю русскую и зарубежную, классическую и современную литературу. Конечно, я читаю разные книги: любовные рассказы, детективы или исторические романы.

Я хочу рассказать вам о моей любимой писательнице. Это Александра Маринина. Ее считают королевой русской детективной прозы. Произведения этой писательницы по-настоящему интересны.

Во всех книгах те же персонажи, и, начиная новую книгу, вы как будто встречаете старых друзей. Писательница раньше работала следователем, и она знает, как вызвать интерес читателя, и в то же время описывает события, которые могут происходить в действительности.

Многие детективные романы, написанные Марининой, переведены на иностранные языки, и иностранные читатели могут сравнить нашу писательницу с Агатой Кристи. Когда я познакомилась с этими книгами, я была глубоко потрясена их юмором.

Главному персонажу, утонченной и слабой женщине, не нужно драться с преступниками, используя дзюдо или что-либо подобное. Она очень умна и интеллектуальна. Ее мозг работает, как хороший компьютер.

Все действия и персонажи описываются так живо, что я ощущала возможность нашей встречи, когда была в Москве прошлым летом. К сожалению, у меня нет полного собрания произведений Марининой, да это не возможно, ведь она все еще пишет. Но я всегда рекомендую моим друзьям почитать эти книги.

My Favourite Writer – Мой любимый писатель

My favorite writer is Charles Dickens and I’m fond of reading his books. He is very popular English writer and novelist.

Dickens was born in Portsmouth February 7, 1812, and spent his childhood in Kent and London, both of which frequently appear in his novels.

He went to school being at the age of nine. When his father was committed to prison for debt in 1824, Dickens interrupted the school. The boy started working in a factory. Then from 1824 to 1826 Dickens attended the school again. However, at most, he was self-educated.

In 1827 Charles Dickens started to work as a legal clerk. Dickens published the first series of descriptive sketches in December 1833, using the pseudonym Boz. These series describe the daily life in London.

The success of the first novel The Pickwick Papers brought popularity to Dickens. And then he maintained subsequently his fame with a great string of novels.

Being a man of wide talents and enormous energy, he also dealt in other different activities. He composed the travel books such as Pictures from Italy and American Notes, edited the weekly periodicals such as All the Year Round and Household Words, administered charity organizations, and also pressed for numerous social reforms. In 1843 he was published a wonderful Christmas Carol, an ever-popular children story.

In June 9, 1870 he suffered a fatal flood stroke and was buried in the Westminster Abbey. He contributed much to the world literature, he wrote Bleak House, The Pickwick Papers, Dombey and Son, Oliver Twist, and other stories and novels.

Мой любимый писатель – Чарльз Диккенс, и я обожаю чтение его книг. Он известный английский писатель и новеллист.

Диккенс родился в г. Портсмут 7 февраля 1812 года, а провел свое детство в Лондоне и Кенте, которых он изображал в своих рассказах.

В возрасте девяти лет он пошел в школу. Но когда его отца посадили в тюрьму за долги, он был вынужден оставить школу. Мальчик пошел работать на завод. Затем с 1824 по 1826 Диккенс снова ходил в школу. Но по большей части он занимался самообразованием.

В 1827 Чарльз Диккенс получил работу клерка. В декабре 1833 Диккенс опубликовал свои беллетристические очерки под псевдонимом Боз. Эти очерки изображали повседневную жизнь Лондона.

Успех Посмертных записок Пиквикского клуба принес популярность Диккенсу. И затем для поддержания своей славы, он создал вереницу новых рассказов.

Будучи человеком талантливым и энергичным, он также занимался другими видами деятельности. Он создал книги путевых заметок, такие как Американские заметки и Картинки из Италии, издавал еженедельники – «Круглый год» и «Домашнее чтение», возглавлял благотворительные организации, а также настоял на многих социальных реформах. В 1843 он опубликовал замечательную Рождественская песнь, неизменно популярную детскую повесть.

9 июня 1870 он перенес фатальный инсульт и был похоронен на Аббатском кладбище. Он внес огромный вклад в мировую литературу, он написал Холодный дом, Посмертные записки Пиквикского клуба, роман Домби и сын, Оливер Твист и много других рассказов и повестей.
