Сочинения по английскому языку: My Favourite Writer (M. Lermontov) - Мой любимый писатель (М


I am a student, that’s why I should read a lot of books. I like reading. Literature means a lot in my life. It helps me to understand other people better. I often analyze the characters of the books and it helps me to understand the world and myself. I read books by different authors: Russian, Ukrainian, German, and English.

My favourite Russian writer is Darya Dontsova. She is a popular Russian writer of modern prose. The works of this author are smart and really interesting. According to her own words, her novels are based on real facts. That arouses the reader’s interest and provokes their own analysis of the events. When I got acquainted with her books, I was really impressed by her wit and humor. The main characters often find themselves in a difficult situation, but they do not give up and try to find the way out. Some of the characters of her books are mean and jealous. Some of them are deeply feeling, faithful and tender.

When I read books by my favourite author, Darya Dontsova, I have a feeling that I may meet her characters even in my native town. I always try to watch an interview on TV with Darya Dontsova. She has a happy family that supports her in her work and in difficult situations. She has a strong character, and she is optimistic. Her brain works as a good computer and she knows how to derive benefit from it. I always recommend my friends to read her books.

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.

I like to read books. Literature helps us to live in this world and we learn a lot from books. Lately I have been interested in English literature very much. English books teach us to understand the English language the way Englishmen speak.

Agatha Christie was born in Torquay, Devonshire. She was educated at home and took singing lessons in Paris. She began writing at the end of the First World War. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was published in 1920. That was the first appearance of Hercule Poirot, who became one of the most popular private detectives since Sherlock Holmes. This little Belgian with the egg-shaped head and the passion for order amazes everyone by his powerful intellect and his brilliant solutions to the most complicated crimes.

Agatha Christie became generally recognised in 1926, after the publishing of her novel The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. It"s still considered her masterpiece. When Agatha Christie got tired of Hercule Poirot she invented Miss Marple, a deceptively mild old lady with her own method of investigation. Her last Poirot book, Curtain, appeared shortly before her death, and her last Miss Marple story, Sleeping Murder and her autobiography were published after her death.

Agatha Christie"s success with million of readers lies in her ability to combine clever plots with excellent character drawing, and a keen since of humor with great powers of observation. Her plots always mislead the reader and keep him in suspense. He cannot guess who the criminal is. Fortunately evil is conquered in her novels. Agatha Christie"s language is simple and good and it"s pleasant to read her books in the original.

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.
