“What is fantastic? - wrote I. Annensky. - Fictional, which does not happen and cannot exist." This emphasizes that the term “fantasy” is significantly narrower than the term “fantasy”. V. Leibin’s dictionary of psychoanalysis gives the following definition of this concept: “Fantasy is a mental activity associated with the creation of imaginary ideas that are not really reflected in the world around us; a product of the imagination generated by man’s own activity.”

As M.I. Meshcheryakova noted: “Game is one of the most important genre categories of fiction, creating that convention that allows you to turn the incredible, which does not take place in reality, into the conditionally possible.” The playful function of fiction makes it similar to a fairy tale, and its cognitive function is related to myth and science.

A special direction in the development of children's and youth fiction in the second half of the 20th century was the emergence of children's fiction itself (not only addressed to younger schoolchildren, but imbued with a child’s worldview) fiction, in the center of which is the image of a child with his specific understanding and vision of the environment (K. Bulychev “Girl from Earth”, “One Hundred Years Ahead”, E. Veltistov “Electronic Boy from a Suitcase”, “ Ressi - an elusive friend", A. Moshkovsky "The Lost Starship", "Seven Days of Miracles", G. Galakhova "The Impossible Kukushkin", V. Gubarev "Journey to the Morning Star", G. Pocheptsov "Cube", "The Adventures of a Robot", "Castle on mysterious planet”, P. Amatuni “Space “Pea”” and many others).

Children's fiction is in many ways close to a fairy tale, first of all, by the presence of a miracle. But unlike folk tale the miracle is connected with today's reality. This is a kind of synthetic genre that combines the fantasy of a fairy tale with a science fiction idea. The beginning of the children's series science fiction set stories about the adventures of a girl from the 21st century, Alisa Selezneva. There was nothing similar in Soviet children's literature at that time. Home luck cycle - charming image main character, which has truly become “our own” for several generations of readers. Alice was the most ordinary - restless, curious, resourceful, in general, a normal girl who could be found in any yard. Therefore, children perceived Alice as a real, living character, with whom they could fight space pirates, make a great scientific discovery, or become a real princess. The books in the series were written by the author over several decades, starting in 1965 (the story “The Girl to Whom Nothing Happens”) and ending in 2003 (“Alice and Alicia”). There are 52 stories in total in the cycle. The most popular and quite appropriate for preschool perception is fantastic story"Alice's Journey" .

Actually, children's fiction is mainly based on the ability to invent, characteristic of children's worldview. own worlds. Like children's literature in general, children's fiction itself has a number of differences from traditional fiction: adventure plot basis, intense plot, abundance of exciting events, mystery. It is designed to help the new generation grow up, orienting it in complex information flows.

The first works of modern fantasy began to appear at the beginning of the 20th century. Among them are “The Elven King's Daughter” by Lord Edward Dunsany, “Conan” by Robert E. Howard, “The Chronicles of Narnia” by C. S. Lewis. Fantasy by C. Lewis “The Chronicles of Narnia” is typical work of this genre, besides, it is understandable and close to children, since in the center there is a child hero. Lewis's fantasy has a wide educational potential, deep semantic richness, a fast-paced adventure plot and Christian-philosophical overtones.

One of the most striking works of recent years is Joanna Rowling's Harry Potter series. J. Rowling's main achievement is that for the first time the main character of a children's book, even one written in the fantasy genre, was not just a wizard, but a child wizard. Being in the border zone, the cycle combines a lot of both fantasy and new fairy tale. Thanks to Harry Potter for last years Many works have appeared in which the main character or heroine is a little sorcerer or witch - “Glassblower” by A. Birger, “Magical Holidays” by A. Ivanov and A. Ustinova, “Denis Kotik and the Queen of Winged Horses” by A. Boyarina

Works in the fantasy style have a great educational value. Thanks to this genre, children have the opportunity to get acquainted with world culture, history, literature, mythology, religion, and even natural science and geography.

The word “fantasy” itself comes from the Greek word fantasy - imagination. The same word means dream. People have dreamed for a long time. We dreamed about everything. It was once difficult to make fire. It took man 1,000 years to invent matches. And now you and I have begun to forget what it is, because there is a lighter - gas, gasoline and even electric. And flying into space could only be a dream. But now we live inXXIcentury, and no one is surprised by the exits in open space, photographs from Mars... science does not stand still, and what seemed like a fantasy 100 years ago is a reality today.

In the second half of the twentieth century, when science began to develop especially rapidly, it appeared great amount worksscience fiction . This is the name given to a vast branch of literature that seems to “look into the future,” into the world of incredible, wonderful ideas and images. Writers aware of the possibilities modern science, are trying to answer many questions. What awaits people when space flights become a common occurrence in everyday life?.. How will the first meeting with representatives of other worlds take place? – will they come to Earth or will earthlings find them in the endless expanses of the Universe?.. What will happen to old Earth if people continue to spend thoughtlessly Natural resources?..What will society be like when an “artificial” person is created?..

Science fiction writers answer these questions differently. Perhaps, after reading their books, you will want to argue with them?..

Working with a book exhibition.

What books by science fiction writers have you become familiar with for today's lesson?

What fantastic things do the authors talk about in them?

Introduction to a fantastic story.

Today we will get acquainted with such a genre as a fantasy story. It's called "A Million and One Days of Vacation." It was written by Evgeny Serafimovich Veltistov.

1. Reading an excerpt from the story by prepared students.

“E. Veltistov’s fairy tale tells about an unusual vacation among schoolchildren among the stars, where one day can be equal to thousands of earthly years.

The ship "Victoria", on which three fifth-graders are flying to meet their parents working in deep space, falls into the sphere of attraction of an invisible star - a "black dwarf" or "black hole". Happens to ship passengers extraordinary adventures, they meet themselves “yesterday” and “tomorrow”...

2. Answers on questions.

What does "takhis" mean and in what language?

What were the names of the children on the ship Victoria?

Why have none of the earthlings met tachyons in their lives?

What was the speed of the earthlings' spaceships?

- “Where does what disappears go?”

Introduction to the history of book creation.

Evgeny Veltistov wrote several fantasy books for children. The most famous of them is “Electronic - a boy from a suitcase.”

1. Evgeniy Serafimovich Veltistov.

In the preface to one of the many editions of this very famous book The writer says: “Once a young author was going on vacation to the sea. I packed my suitcase and got into a taxi. He carries his suitcase to the train and is surprised: it’s heavy! As if there were not a shirt and flippers, but bricks. To make it easier and more fun to carry, I began to fantasize: “Maybe there’s someone in the suitcase? Maybe there's... an electronic boy? I’ll put the suitcase on the shelf, I’ll open the lid, the boy will open his eyes, stand up and say: “Hello, my name is Elektronik...” He entered the compartment, clicked the locks and gasped. It turns out that in his haste he mixed up the suitcases: he took another one full of books. The train started moving... I had to do without fins by the sea. But I read to my heart's content. And I didn’t forget about the imaginary boy.” Of course, you recognized the boy immediately. Do you know its creator?

Evgeny Veltistov went to school for the second year of the Great Patriotic War. There were few books at that time - so he decided, when he grew up, to become a seller of children's books so that he could read them all. As an adult, he changed his mind and studied to be a journalist. He began to write himself - first in various newspapers, then in the magazine Ogonyok. He traveled throughout our country and abroad, met with different people, accumulated impressions and thought about his future books.

The first book, “Adventures at the Bottom of the Sea,” was published in 1960. The famous Electronician first met readers four years later. True, queues for Elektronik began to form in libraries only after the release of the three-part series TV movie, the script of which was written by Veltistov himself. The film was a huge success, letters from readers to television, and to the editor. Newspapers " Pioneer truth“and the writer himself received more than eighty thousand.

Read the passage that tells about the appearance of the electronic boy.

How was he different from ordinary children?

Who did Elektronik become friends with?

What certificate did Seryozha Syroezhkin give him? For what?

Tell us about the interesting adventures of these boys.

For those who are interested in the work of E. Veltistov, I recommend reading other books by this author: “Ressi - the elusive friend”, “Gumm - Gum”.

2. Kir Bulychev (real name – Igor Vsevolodovich Mozheiko) born in 1934 in Moscow.

Arbat boy Igor Mozheiko wanted to travel, live in a tent, do scientific discoveries. Imagining himself as an explorer, he traveled the length and breadth of the Moscow region, read books about expeditions to the Gobi Desert, and collected extensive collections of minerals. And of course. I imagined myself as a real geologist with a courageous face and weathered hands...

Everything turned out differently, however: Igor graduated from the Moscow Institute foreign languages and got to work far away Asian country- Burma. And, having returned home, he entered graduate school at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences.

In 1966, he defended his dissertation and research work began.

But then one day... the editors of the almanac "Seeker", with which Mozheiko collaborated, got into difficult situation. The thing is. That just before submitting the materials to the printing house, it was decided not to print one of fantasy stories. However, the artist had already drawn an illustration for this story, and the picture, as if on purpose, appeared on the printed cover of the issue. From it, a tiny dinosaur sitting in a jar looked sadly at the editorial staff.

The drawing urgently required an explanation, and several people, saving the situation, decided to write according to fantastic story, the best of which was supposed to be included in the collection the next day. Orientalist scientist Igor Mozheiko also took part in the unexpected competition. He honestly sat all night at the typewriter, and in the morning he brought his essay to the editorial office. The story invented by Mozheiko (“When the Dinosaurs Died Out”) seemed to the staff the most successful, and it was urgently inserted into the issue.

But how to sign such an unexpected creation? “Igor Mozheiko” seems inconvenient. After all, he’s a historian, a scientist, and here are some dinosaurs in jars. "Wife's name plus maiden name mother,” the author decided and wrote “Kir Bulychev” under the manuscript.

This is how the serious historian Igor Mozheiko began writing “frivolous” fiction. At the same time, Igor Vsevolodovich did not give up his scientific studies in any way. At the same time as the science fiction writer Bulychev, the historian Mozheiko tirelessly wrote his works. One can only wonder. How does Igor Vsevolodovich have enough time and energy for all this? However, no, there is just not enough time, and the science fiction writer Bulychev, together with the historian Mozheiko, dream of somehow increasing the day...

Review of books by Kir Bulychev.

Currently, 15 volumes of K. Bulychev’s works have already been published. Another 15 volumes are being prepared for publication. What is this writer writing about?

Bulychev Kir “The Great Guslyar” Novels and stories.

Where else, if not in Russia, will you find the town of Velikiy Guslyar? And its inhabitants, who are capable of not losing their presence of mind in the most unexpected situations, be it buying talking goldfish in a pet store, another brilliant discovery of Professor Lev Khristoforovich Mints, or a meeting with space aliens, from which in Lately Has the city become a bit crowded?..

It is no secret that in Velikiy Guslyar there are underground passages and treasures literally under every street. One of these treasures may be, for example, a pot-bellied bottle containing a real elixir of youth...

Bulychev Kir “We need a free planet.”

“You obviously don’t imagine the difficulties and dangers of space travel,” the alien Gnets-18 told Cornelius Udalov. – You can die, fall into the past, end up in the sixth dimension, turn into a woman. Finally, you may become a victim of space dragons or contract galactic tabes.” However, the head of the Velikiy Guslyar construction office, who was overcome by a thirst for wanderings, firmly decided to help Gnets-18 find in endless space a free planet, vitally necessary for “brothers in mind.”

Bulychev Kir "Fantastic bestiary".

"Bestiary" is a book about beasts, and "Fantastic Bestiary" is a book about imaginary beasts. Kir Bulychev wanted to tell “about creatures that never existed... and look at them through our eyes. Then scary tales become funny, and sometimes touching.” For this, he selected for his amazing menagerie: a unicorn, a kraken, a dragon, an echidna, a sphinx, a basilisk, a mermaid, a kikimora - you can’t list them all. But among the creatures invented in ancient times, there are others - those that were unknown to anyone. A special section “Fictions of Our Day” is dedicated to them.

Bulychev Kir "Atlantis: Gods and Heroes."

“...there was one people in the world from which not only not a single book or inscription has survived, but not even a clay shard, not even a bead or a coin, not to mention the ruins of palaces...

These people are Atlanteans. Their country was called Atlantis.

Saying that Atlantis sank entirely, along with cities, fields, mountains and swamps.

And you can read about it only in one book... Atlantis is one of unsolved mysteries history of the Earth..."
