    Before you are the dreams of literary heroes. Who dreams of them? Indicate the work and its author. (Maximum points – 6 b, title, author - 0.5 each; hero - 1 point )

    1. It was as if I had a presentiment: today I dreamed all night about two extraordinary rats. Really, I’ve never seen anything like this: black, of unnatural size! They came, smelled it, and left.

1.2 I had a dream that I could never forget and in which I still see something prophetic when I consider the strange circumstances of my life with it.

It seemed to me that the storm was still raging and we were still wandering through the snowy desert... Suddenly I saw a gate and drove into the manor’s courtyard of our estate. My first thought was the fear that my father would be angry with me for my involuntary return to my parents’ roof and would consider it deliberate disobedience. With anxiety, I jumped out of the wagon and saw: mother met me on the porch with an appearance of deep grief. “Hush,” she tells me, “your father is sick and dying and wants to say goodbye to you.” Struck with fear, I follow her into the bedroom. I see the room is dimly lit; there are people with sad faces standing by the bed. I quietly approach the bed; mother raises the curtain... I knelt down and fixed my eyes on the patient. Well?.. Instead of my father, I see a man with a black beard lying in bed, looking at me cheerfully. I turned to my mother in bewilderment, telling her: “What does this mean? This is not the priest. And why should I ask for a blessing from a man?” ...

1.3 . Fell into the snow; bear quickly

She is grabbed and carried;

She is emotionlessly submissive;

Doesn't move, doesn't die;

He rushes her along the forest road;

Suddenly, between the trees there is a miserable hut;

All around is wilderness, he is everywhere

Covered in desert snow,

And it shines brightly through the window,

And in the hut there was screaming and noise;

The bear said: my godfather is here.

Warm yourself up with him a little!

And he walks straight into the canopy,

And he puts it on the threshold.

    Find out the work by its ending. Name the author. 3 b. 0.5b each)

    1. The ghost, however, was much taller, wore an enormous mustache and, directing his steps, as it seemed, towards the Obukhov Bridge, disappeared completely into the darkness of the night.

      The bell rings with a wonderful ringing; The air, torn into pieces, thunders and becomes the wind; everything that is on earth flies past, and, looking askance, other peoples and states step aside and give way to it.

1. He plays chess with one hand,

With his other hand he conquers peoples,

With one foot he slays friend and foe,

With the other he tramples the universe's shores.

(A. Suvorov)

2. The day is already paler, hiding behind the mountain;

Noisy herds crowd over the river;

Tired villager with slow feet

He goes, lost in thought, to his quiet hut.

(V. Zhukovsky)

3. Crowd gloomy and soon forgotten
We will pass over the world without noise or trace,
Without giving up the centuries a single fertile thought,
Not the genius of the work begun.
And our ashes, with the severity of a judge and a citizen,
A descendant will insult with a contemptuous verse,
The bitter mockery of a deceived son
Over the wasted father.

(M. Lermontov)

4. The calm of ashes.

The cat plays with hair.

All will pass.

(M. Lemaire)

5. Love, hope, quiet glory
Deception did not last long for us,
The youthful fun has disappeared
Like a dream, like morning fog;
But desire still burns within us;
Under the yoke of fatal power
With an impatient soul
Let us heed the calling of the Fatherland.

(A. Pushkin)

6. Poet! do not value people's love.
There will be a momentary noise of enthusiastic praise;
You will hear the judgment of a fool and the laughter of a cold crowd,
But you remain firm, calm and gloomy.

You are the king: live alone. On the road to freedom
Go where your free mind takes you,
Improving the fruits of your favorite thoughts,
Without demanding rewards for a noble deed.

They are in you. You are your own highest court;
You know how to evaluate your work more strictly than anyone else.
Are you satisfied with it, discerning artist?

Satisfied? So let the crowd scold him
And spits on the altar where your fire burns,
And your tripod shakes in childish playfulness.

(A. Pushkin)

7. Verb of times! metal ringing!

Your terrible voice confuses me,

Calling me, calling your moan,

He calls and brings you closer to the coffin.

I barely saw this light,

Death is already gnashing its teeth,

Like lightning, the scythe shines

And my days are cut by like grain.

(G. Derzhavin)

8. Shepherdesses, I forget

For hours I was sad, groaning,

I’ll play my pipe again,

You will see me again in your circles. (A. Sumarokov)

IV . Analysis of poetic text. Maksim. 25 points

F.I. Tyutchev

As the ocean envelops the globe,

Earthly life is surrounded by dreams;

Night will come - and with sonorous waves

The element hits its shore.

That's her voice: he forces us and asks...

Already in the pier the magical boat came to life;

The tide is rising and sweeping us away quickly

Into the immeasurability of dark waves.

The vault of heaven, burning with the glory of the stars

Looks mysteriously from the depths, -

And we float, a burning abyss

Surrounded on all sides.

What to do? The most ordinary story happened! Such is the fate of a person who believes in the kindness and gentle tenderness of the world. How hard it is for him to understand the truth that our world is an empty, cold house, whose inhabitants have an empty, cold heart beating. The world is a trap for the gullible, a huge barge laden with the outcasts.”

It was already getting dark. Purple clouds were creeping across the low sky, harbingers of an approaching thunderstorm. The streets became dark, like the wilds of a dense, impenetrable forest, in which, as if coming from the depths of memory, the call of the ancestors sounded someone’s quiet, stern voice.

Will people tell me?
That makes me unhappy
Good people are like the stars and the sky -
Stars and sky! - and I’m a man! ..

People to each other
Envy is nourished;
I, on the contrary,
I only envy the beautiful stars,
I would only like to take their place.

I was walking down the street... I was stopped by a beggar, a decrepit old man.

Inflamed, tearful eyes, blue lips, rough rags, unclean wounds... Oh, how hideously poverty has gnawed at this unfortunate creature!

He extended his red, swollen, dirty hand to me... He moaned, he bellowed for help.

I started rummaging through all my pockets... Not a wallet, not a watch, not even a handkerchief... I didn't take anything with me.

And the beggar waited... and his outstretched hand weakly swayed and trembled.

Lost, embarrassed, I firmly shook this dirty, trembling hand...

“Don’t blame me, brother; I have nothing, brother.”

The beggar stared at me with his bloodshot eyes; his blue lips smiled

and he, in turn, squeezed my cold fingers.

“Well, brother,” he mumbled, “and thank you for that.” This is also alms, brother.

I realized that I also received alms from my brother.

We were separated - and they tortured the one sitting with me

1.3 . This night they dressed me in the evening...

black blanket

on a yew bed;

scooped me blue wine,

mixed with grief;

they poured filthy foreigners on me from the empty quivers

large pearls on the chest

and undead me.

1.4 .And now I’m walking around like crazy. All night such rubbish was in my eyes... Yes, you, mother, then father... As soon as I start to fall asleep, then I see that you, mother, deign to beat father... So I felt sorry for... you, mother: you are so tired, beating father ...

2. What works are the excerpts taken from? Name their authors and genre

They dare to follow you into the sea;

You sprinkle with a generous hand

Your wealth on earth.

Trembling. He looks askance with his eyes

And rushes in the dust of battle,

Proud of the mighty rider.

Find material for any lesson,

In what works of Russian literature are images of historical figures created and in what ways can they be compared with L. N. Tolstoy’s assessment of real historical figures?

The following images-characters can be used as a literary context: Emelyan Pugachev in the novel by A. S. Pushkin “The Captain's Daughter” and the poem of the same name by S.A. Yesenina, Ivan the Terrible in “Song about the Merchant Kalashnikov”, the imperial court and generals Kornilov, Denikin, Kaledin in the epic of M.A. Sholokhov’s “Quiet Don”, Stalin and Hitler in V. S. Grossman’s epic novel “Life and Fate” (two positions of the student’s choice).

When justifying your choice and comparing the characters in a given direction of analysis, note that the image of Pugachev in A.S. Pushkin, like L. N. Tolstoy’s Napoleon, is subjective, not so much historically specific as subordinate to the author’s idea - to show the tragedy of the “people's king,” which is the product of “Russian rebellion, senseless and merciless.” The impostor is poeticized by the author: he is kind, humane, and fair, unlike his guys.

Point out that the depiction of Pugachev in “The Captain’s Daughter” and Napoleon in the epic “War and Peace” is determined by the writer’s task: for L.N. Tolstoy it is the debunking of Napoleonism, for A.S. Pushkin - poeticization of the image of the “counselor”. Both are characterized by unique personal qualities, military genius, and ambition. Pugachev’s willfulness is manifested in his statement: “Execute like this, execute like this, favor like this: this is my custom...” Despite all the differences in the positions of the impostor and the French emperor, both are shown not only as historical figures, but also as people in their relationships with the people and servants. Rise and fall also distinguish the nature of their fate.

Tell us how in the depiction of Ivan the Terrible by M. Yu. Lermontov in “The Song about the Merchant Kalashnikov,” the prevailing attitude is towards stylization of folk epic works, and therefore towards idealization. Like the French emperor, the Russian tsar is self-willed: if he wants, he executes, if he wants, he has mercy. The injustice of the tsar’s decision regarding the fate of Kalashnikov is compensated by his unquestioned authority among the people.

Remember that in V. S. Grossman’s novel “Life and Fate” Stalin and Hitler appear only as weak-willed slaves of time, hostages of the circumstances they themselves created. Hitler himself gave birth to the magic wand of ideology and believed in it himself. A comparison of grotesquely reduced images of the rulers of two great nations gives the author the opportunity to compare Hitlerism and Stalinism, which must be condemned and overcome.

Summarizing what has been said, note that Tolstoy’s Napoleon is a small man in a gray frock coat with a “fat chest”, “round belly”, trembling calf of his left leg, Grossman’s Stalin is a pockmarked, dark-skinned man in a long overcoat (“Shtrum was outraged that Stalin’s name was overshadowed Lenin, his military genius was contrasted with the civilian mindset of Lenin’s mind”). These arbiters of destinies do not realize the strength of the people's spirit.

S. Grossman, following Tolstoy's traditions, orients the reader to comprehend historical patterns. Raised to unprecedented heights, idols then become victims of their own people.

Searched here:

  • what works contain historical figures
  • name another work of literature in which the image of a king was created

Gorky believed that a writer is obliged to speculate and typify a real person, turning him into the hero of a novel, and the search for prototypes of Dostoevsky’s characters will even lead to philosophical volumes, touching on real people only in passing.

Nevertheless, as it turned out, most often and most strongly associated with their prototypes are very specific types of characters - adventurers of all kinds and stripes, or fairy-tale heroes. It’s not a fact that everything was exactly like this in reality due to the passage of years or the absence of the main persons, but at least these assumptions are very interesting

Let's remember a few:


Sherlock Holmes

Joseph Bell (Sherlock Holmes)

The author himself admitted that the image of Sherlock Holmes was related to the doctor Joseph Bell, Conan Doyle’s teacher. In his autobiography, he wrote: “I thought of my old teacher Joe Bell, his eagle profile, his inquisitive mind and his incredible ability to guess at all the details.

If he were a detective, he would definitely turn this amazing but disorganized case into something more like an exact science." “Use the power of deduction,” Bell often repeated, and confirmed his words in practice, being able to understand the patient’s biography, inclinations, and often diagnosis from the patient’s appearance.

Later, after the release of the novels about Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle wrote to his teacher that the unique skills of his hero are not fiction, but just how Bell’s skills would logically develop if the circumstances were right. Bell answered him: “You yourself are Sherlock Holmes, and you know it very well!”

Ostap Bender

By the age of 80, Ostap Bender's prototype had become a quiet conductor of the Moscow-Tashkent train. In life, his name was Osip (Ostap) Shor, he was born in Odessa and, as expected, discovered a penchant for adventure during his student years.

Returning from Petrograd, where he studied for a year at the Technological Institute, Shor, having neither money nor profession, presented himself either as a chess grandmaster, or as a modern artist, or as a hiding member of the anti-Soviet party. Thanks to these skills, he reached his native Odessa, where he served in the criminal investigation department and fought against local banditry, hence Ostap Bender’s respectful attitude towards the Criminal Code

Professor Preobrazhensky

With the prototype of Professor Preobrazhensky from Bulgakov’s “Heart of a Dog,” things are much more dramatic. He was a French surgeon of Russian origin, Samuil Abramovich Voronov, who in the first quarter of the twentieth century created a real sensation in European medicine.

He completely legally transplanted monkey glands into humans to rejuvenate the body. Moreover, the hype was justified - the first operations had the desired effect. As the newspapers wrote, children with mental disabilities acquired mental alertness, and even in one song of those times called Monkey-Doodle-Doo there were the words “If you are too old for dancing, get yourself a monkey iron.”

Voronov himself cited improvement in memory and vision, good spirits, ease of movement and resumption of sexual activity as the results of treatment. Thousands of people underwent treatment according to Voronov’s system, and the doctor himself, to simplify the practice, opened his own monkey nursery on the French Riviera.

However, after some time, patients began to feel a deterioration in the body’s condition, rumors appeared that the result of the treatment was nothing more than self-hypnosis, Voronov was branded a charlatan and disappeared from European science until the 90s, when his work began to be discussed again

But the main character of “The Picture of Dorian Gray” seriously spoiled the reputation of his real-life original. John Gray, a friend and protégé of Oscar Wilde in his youth, was famous for his penchant for the beautiful and the vicious, as well as for the appearance of a fifteen-year-old boy.

Wilde did not hide the similarity of his character with John, and the latter sometimes even called himself Dorian. The happy union ended the moment the newspapers began to write about it: John appeared there as the lover of Oscar Wilde, even more languid and apathetic than everyone who came before him.

An angry Gray filed a lawsuit and obtained an apology from the editor, but his friendship with the famous author slowly faded away. Soon Gray met his life partner - the poet and native of Russia Andre Raffalovich, together they converted to Catholicism, then Gray became a priest at St. Patrick's Church in Edinburgh.


Michael Davis (Peter Pan)

Acquaintance with the family of Sylvia and Arthur Davis gave James Matthew Barry, at that time already a famous playwright, his main character - Peter Pan, whose prototype was Michael, one of the Davis sons.

Peter Pan became the same age as Michael and acquired from him both some character traits and nightmares. It was from Michael that the portrait of Peter Pan was sculpted for the sculpture in Kensington Gardens.

The fairy tale itself was dedicated to Barry’s older brother, David, who died the day before his fourteenth birthday while skating and remained forever young in the memory of his loved ones.


The story of Alice in Wonderland began on the day Lewis Carroll walked with the daughters of the rector of Oxford University, Henry Lidell, among whom was Alice Lidell. Carroll came up with the story on the fly at the request of the children, but the next time he did not forget about it, he began to compose a sequel.

Two years later, the author presented Alice with a manuscript consisting of four chapters, to which was attached a photograph of Alice herself at the age of seven. It was entitled “A Christmas gift to a dear girl in memory of a summer day.”

While working on Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov, according to his biographer Brian Boyd, often scanned the crime sections of newspapers for stories of accidents, murders and violence. The story of Sally Horner and Frank LaSalle in 1948 clearly caught his attention.

It was reported that a middle-aged man had abducted 12-year-old Sally Horner from New Jersey and kept her in his possession for nearly two years until she was found in a Southern California motel.

Lasalle, just like Nabokov’s hero, throughout the entire time passed Sally off as his daughter. Nabokov even briefly mentions this incident in the book in the words of Humbert: “Did I do to Dolly the same thing that Frank LaSalle, a fifty-year-old mechanic, did to eleven-year-old Sally Horner in ’48?”

Karabas-Barabas

Alexei Tolstoy, as is known, although he only sought to rewrite Carlo Collodio’s “Pinocchio” in Russian, published a completely independent story in which analogies with contemporary cultural figures are clearly read.

Tolstoy was not a fan of Meyerhold's theater and its biomechanics, so he got the role of the antagonist - Karabas-Barabas. The parody can be read even in the name: Karabas is the Marquis of Karabas from Perrault’s fairy tale, and Barabas is from the Italian word for swindler - baraba. Meyerhold's assistant, who worked under the pseudonym Voldemar Luscinius, got the no less eloquent role of Duremar

By the way, we once had a controversial story about this or that. But in reality


Perhaps the most incredible and mythologized story of the image is the story of Carlson’s creation. His possible prototype is Hermann Goering. Relatives of Astrid Lindgren, of course, refute this version, but it still exists and is actively discussed.

Astrid Lindgren and Goering met in the 1920s, when the latter organized an air show in Sweden. At that time, Goering was fully “in the prime of his life,” as Carlson liked to say about himself. After World War I, he became a famous ace pilot with a certain charisma and, according to legend, a good appetite.

The little engine behind Carlson’s back is often interpreted as an allusion to Goering’s flying practice. A possible confirmation of this analogy can be considered the fact that for a certain time Astrid Lindgren supported the ideas of the National Socialist Party of Sweden.

The book about Carlson was published already in the post-war period in 1955, so it would be madness to advocate a direct analogy of these heroes, however, it is quite possible that the vivid image of the young Goering remained in her memory and in one way or another influenced the appearance of the charming Carlson

And a little more about our Soviet cartoon:

In total, two episodes about Carlson were released: “Kid and Carlson” (1968) and “Carlson is back” (1970). Soyuzmultfilm was going to make a third one, but this idea was never realized. The studio archives still contain film that was planned to be used for filming a cartoon based on the third part of the trilogy about the Kid and Carlson - “Carlson Plays Pranks Again.”

Carlson, Malysh, Freken Bok and all the other characters were created by artist Anatoly Savchenko. He also suggested inviting Faina Ranevskaya to voice the “housekeeper.” Before her, a huge number of actresses auditioned for this role, and no one was suitable, but Ranevskaya was perfect. She had another “minus” - a difficult character. She called the director “baby” and categorically rejected all his comments. And when I first saw my heroine, I was scared, and then I was very offended by Savchenko. “Am I really that scary?” — the actress constantly asked. The explanation that this was not her portrait, but just an image, did not console Ranevskaya. She remained unconvinced.

Carlson also did not have a “voice” for a long time; Livanov found himself, by accident. The actor visited the creators of the cartoon every day for a game of chess, and one day while playing, director Boris Stepantsev complained to him that he couldn’t find a person to play Carlson. Vasily Livanov immediately went to the studio, tried out, and was approved. Later, the actor admitted that while working in the image of Carlson, he diligently parodied the famous director Grigory Roshal

One version explains that the teddy bear with sawdust in its head got its name from the nickname of Milne’s son Christopher Robin’s favorite toy. Just like the rest of the characters in the book.

However, in fact, Winnie the Pooh was named after a real-life bear who lived in the London Zoo. Her name was Winnipeg, and she entertained the residents of the British capital from 1915 to 1934. The bear had many admirers. Among them was Christopher Robin


One-legged John Silver

In Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson portrayed his friend, poet and critic Williams Hansley, as a good villain. As a child, William suffered from tuberculosis and doctors, for some unknown reason, decided to amputate one of his legs at the knee.

After the book was announced, the writer wrote to a friend: “I have a confession to make. Evil on the outside, but kind at heart, John Silver was based on you. You're not offended, are you?


An elegant man with a princely title, married to a Dutch princess and prone to dubious adventures - this is what the prototype of James Bond, Prince Bernard Van Lippe-Biesterfeld, actually looked like.

The adventures of James Bond began with a series of books written by English intelligence officer Ian Fleming. The first of them, Casino Royale, was published in 1953, a few years after Fleming was assigned as part of his duty to monitor Prince Bernard, who had defected from German service to British intelligence.

Tell me that the sun has risen

What is it with hot light

The sheets began to flutter...

The thaw is boring to me; stench, dirt - in the spring I am sick;

An endless and endless dream!

I recognize you, life! I accept!

And I greet you with the ringing of the shield!

In the desert... and...

On the ground, hot in the heat,

Anchar, like a formidable sentry,

Standing - alone in the whole universe.

Gloomy and deaf

Sultry and empty

We hear countless examples of this in History,

But we don’t write History...

On a hot day, a lamb went to a stream to drink;

And something must happen,

That a hungry Wolf was prowling around those places.

He sees a lamb and strives for the prey;

But to give the matter at least a legal appearance and sense,

Shouts: “How dare you, insolent, with an unclean snout

Here's a clean drink

My

With sand and silt?

For such insolence

I’ll rip your head off”...

2. A beautiful maiden sits above the sea;

And, caressing his friend, he says:

“Take out the necklace, go down to the bottom:

Today it fell into the abyss!

With this you will prove your love for me!”

The young man’s dashing blood boiled,

And his mind was seized by an involuntary illness,

He suddenly rushes into the foamy abyss.

Pearl splashes fly from the foam,

And the waves crowd and rush back,

And they come again and hit the shore,

They will bring a dear friend.

Oh happiness! he is alive, he grabbed the rock,

There is a necklace in his hand, but he is as gloomy as ever.

He is afraid to believe his tired legs,

And wet curls run over your shoulders...

3. Trouble is, if the shoemaker starts baking pies,

And the boots are made by the pie-maker, -

And things won't go well

Yes, and it’s been noticed a hundred times,

Why does anyone like to take on someone else's craft?

He is always more stubborn and contentious than others:

He'd rather ruin it all

And I’m glad soon

Become the laughing stock of the world,

Than honest and knowledgeable people

Ask or listen to reasonable advice.

Toothy Pike got an idea

Take up the cat craft.

I don’t know whether the evil one tormented her with envy,

Or maybe she was bored with the fish table?

But she just decided to ask the cat,

To take her with me on a hunt,

Catching mice in the barn...

4. Volga began to grow up and swear,

Volga wanted a lot of wisdom:

Volga walks like a pike fish in the blue seas,

Volga flies like a falcon under the covers,

A wolf prowls in the open fields...

Volga began to grow up and swear

And he gathered himself a good squad,

Thirty fellows without a single one,

Volga himself was still in the thirties.

5. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, the son of God.

I, pitiful and sinful, narrow-minded, dare to write about the holy Prince Alexander, son of Yaroslav. Since I heard from my fathers and myself witnessed his mature age, I was glad to tell about his holy, honest, and glorious life. This prince Alexander was born from merciful and humane parents, most of all meek... And he was handsome like no one else, and his voice was like a trumpet among the people, his face was like the face of Joseph, whom the Egyptian king made the second king in Egypt, strength and part of it was from the strength of Samson, and God gave him the wisdom of Solomon...

6. The day is already turning pale, hiding behind the mountain;

He goes, lost in thought, to his quiet hut.

The surroundings disappear in the foggy twilight...

There is silence everywhere; dead sleep everywhere;

Only occasionally, buzzing, the evening beetle flickers,

Only the dull ringing of horns can be heard in the distance...

Star of the fields in the icy darkness,

The clock has already rung twelve,

And sleep enveloped my homeland...

Star of the fields! In a moment of shock

I remembered how quiet it was behind the hill

She burns over the autumn gold,

It burns over the winter silver...

The star of the fields burns without fading,

For all the anxious inhabitants of the earth,

Touching with your welcoming ray

All the cities that rose in the distance.

But only here, in the icy darkness,

She rises brighter and fuller,

And I'm happy as long as I'm in this world

I was walking down the street... I was stopped by a beggar, a decrepit old man.

Inflamed, tearful eyes, blue lips, rough rags, unclean wounds... Oh, how hideously poverty has gnawed at this unfortunate creature!

He extended his red, swollen, dirty hand to me... He moaned, he bellowed for help.

I started rummaging through all my pockets... Not a wallet, not a watch, not even a handkerchief... I didn't take anything with me.

And the beggar waited... and his outstretched hand weakly swayed and trembled.

Lost, embarrassed, I firmly shook this dirty, trembling hand...

“Don’t blame me, brother; I have nothing, brother.”

The beggar stared at me with his bloodshot eyes; his blue lips smiled

– and he, in turn, squeezed my cold fingers.

“Well, brother,” he mumbled, “and thank you for that.” This is also alms, brother.

I realized that I also received alms from my brother.

We were separated - and they tortured the one sitting with me

large pearls on the chest

They dare to follow you into the sea;

You sprinkle with a generous hand

Your wealth on earth.

Proud of the mighty rider.

With one foot he slays friend and foe,

With the other he tramples the universe's shores.

(A. Suvorov)

2. The day is already paler, hiding behind the mountain;

Noisy herds crowd over the river;

Tired villager with slow feet

He goes, lost in thought, to his quiet hut.

(V. Zhukovsky)

3. Crowd gloomy and soon forgotten
We will pass over the world without noise or trace,
Without giving up the centuries a single fertile thought,
Not the genius of the work begun.
And our ashes, with the severity of a judge and a citizen,
A descendant will insult with a contemptuous verse,
The bitter mockery of a deceived son
Over the wasted father.

Under the yoke of fatal power
With an impatient soul
Let us heed the calling of the Fatherland.

There will be a momentary noise of enthusiastic praise;
You will hear the judgment of a fool and the laughter of a cold crowd,
But you remain firm, calm and gloomy.

You are the king: live alone. On the road to freedom
Go where your free mind takes you,
Improving the fruits of your favorite thoughts,
Without demanding rewards for a noble deed.

They are in you. You are your own highest court;
You know how to evaluate your work more strictly than anyone else.
Are you satisfied with it, discerning artist?

Satisfied? So let the crowd scold him
And spits on the altar where your fire burns,
And your tripod shakes in childish playfulness.

(A. Pushkin)

Your terrible voice confuses me,

Calling me, calling your moan,

And my days are cut by like grain.

  1. It was as if I had a presentiment: today I dreamed all night about two extraordinary rats. Really, I’ve never seen anything like this: black, of unnatural size! They came, smelled it, and left.

1.2. I had a dream that I could never forget and in which I still see something prophetic when I consider the strange circumstances of my life with it.

It seemed to me that the storm was still raging and we were still wandering through the snowy desert... Suddenly I saw a gate and drove into the manor’s courtyard of our estate. My first thought was the fear that my father would be angry with me for my involuntary return to my parents’ roof and would consider it deliberate disobedience. With anxiety, I jumped out of the wagon and saw: mother met me on the porch with an appearance of deep grief. “Hush,” she tells me, “your father is sick and dying and wants to say goodbye to you.” Struck with fear, I follow her into the bedroom. I see the room is dimly lit; there are people with sad faces standing by the bed. I quietly approach the bed; mother raises the curtain... I knelt down and fixed my eyes on the patient. Well?.. Instead of my father, I see a man with a black beard lying in bed, looking at me cheerfully. I turned to my mother in bewilderment, telling her: “What does this mean? This is not the priest. And why should I ask for a blessing from a man?” ...

1.3. Fell into the snow; bear quickly

She is grabbed and carried;

She is emotionlessly submissive;

Doesn't move, doesn't die;

He rushes her along the forest road;

Suddenly, between the trees there is a miserable hut;

All around is wilderness, he is everywhere

Covered in desert snow,

And it shines brightly through the window,

And in the hut there was screaming and noise;

The bear said: my godfather is here.

Warm yourself up with him a little!

And he walks straight into the canopy,

And he puts it on the threshold.

2. Read the text, find the names of works of art hidden in it. Write them down and indicate the author.

“Mentally running through his life, he asked himself with painful anguish: “Who is to blame for the fact that he, who successfully started his career as a financier, fell off a cliff and found himself at the bottom of society. What to do? The most ordinary story happened! Such is the fate of a person who believes in the kindness and gentle tenderness of the world. How hard it is for him to understand the truth that our world is an empty, cold house, whose inhabitants have an empty, cold heart beating. The world is a trap for the gullible, a huge barge laden with the outcasts.”

It was already getting dark. Purple clouds were creeping across the low sky, harbingers of an approaching thunderstorm. The streets became dark, like the wilds of a dense, impenetrable forest, in which, as if coming from the depths of memory, the call of the ancestors sounded someone’s quiet, stern voice. Hiding his nose in the beaver collar of his overcoat, he, not paying attention to the raindrops, walked alone and slowly through the empty city, like a holy passion-bearer making a cleansing walk through torment.

"Sky and Stars"

Clear evening sky
The distant stars are clear,
Clear as the happiness of a child;
ABOUT! Why can't I think:
Stars, you are clear, like my happiness!

Why are you unhappy?
Will people tell me?
That makes me unhappy
Good people are like the stars and the sky -
Stars and sky! - and I’m a man!..

People to each other
Envy is nourished;
I, on the contrary,
I only envy the beautiful stars,
I would only like to take their place.

We sometimes perceive the heroes of famous books and films as good acquaintances, but we still remember that these are fictional characters. And it’s even more interesting to know that writers were inspired to create them by real people. The authors borrowed their appearance, habits, and even favorite words from them.

Editorial website collected prototypes of famous characters from films and books - it’s simply incredible that they actually lived.

"Abstract" Marshak -
Academician Ivan Kablukov

It turns out that the “absent-minded man from Basseynaya Street” from Samuil Marshak’s poem actually existed! He was the famous eccentric, academician Ivan Kablukov, who was famous for his impracticality and absent-mindedness. For example, instead of the words “chemistry and physics,” the professor often told students “chemistry and physics.” And instead of the phrase “the flask burst, and a piece of glass fell into the eye,” he could have gotten: “the flask burst, and a piece of the eye fell into the glass.” The expression “Mendelshutkin” meant “Mendeleev and Menshutkin,” and Ivan Alekseevich’s usual words were “not at all” and “I, that is, not me.”

The professor read a poem, and one day he reminded Marshak’s brother, the writer Ilyin, wagging his finger: “Your brother, of course, was aiming at me!” In Marshak’s drafts there is this version of the beginning of the poem, in which the hero was directly named by the first and last name of the prototype:

Lives in Leningrad
Ivan Kablukov.
He calls himself
Heel Ivanov.

Dr. House - Dr. Thomas Bolte

Dr. Thomas Bolti, nicknamed “the real House,” is also eccentric. Here he is rushing to the patient, avoiding traffic jams on roller skates.

The creators of the series about Dr. House became interested in the story of the doctor Thomas Bolti from New York, who cured a gallery owner who had suffered from migraines for 40 years. The man visited several dozen doctors who fed him a bunch of medications for headaches. And Thomas Bolti got hooked on the fact that the patient could not tolerate egg yolk. He carefully studied the tests again and realized that the patient had been suffering from heavy metal poisoning for 40 years. After treatment, the man forgot what a migraine was. And this is not an isolated case - Bolti’s talent and erudition allow him to take on the most difficult cases. He is even called a “medical detective.”

The creators of House were inspired by cases from Bolti's practice and his somewhat eccentric behavior. He himself is not delighted with the series: “Yes, there are some similarities between us, but I don’t like the film. I am categorically against going over heads like House to make a diagnosis.” But by the way, after this, Dr. Bolti’s career took off, and now he is the official doctor of the MTV office.

Dorian Gray - poet John Gray

The English poet John Gray, whom Oscar Wilde met in the late 80s of the 19th century, became the prototype of Dorian Gray. A sophisticated, decadent poet, smart, handsome and ambitious, he inspired the writer with the image of the eternally young and beautiful Dorian Gray. After the release of the famous novel, many began to call John Gray after the hero, and the poet himself signed at least one of his letters to Wilde “Dorian.” It is surprising that after 30 years John Gray abandoned bohemian life, became a Catholic priest and even received a parish.

Sherlock Holmes - Professor Joseph Bell

Sherlock Holmes has much in common with Edinburgh University professor Joseph Bell, for whom Conan Doyle worked as an assistant at the hospital. The writer often recalled his teacher, talking about his eagle profile, inquisitive mind and amazing intuition. Bell was tall, lean, abrupt in his movements and smoked a pipe.

He knew how to accurately determine the profession and character of his patients and always encouraged students to use deduction. He invited strangers to lectures and asked students to say who they were and where they were from. One day he brought a man in a hat into the audience, and when no one could answer Bell’s questions, he explained that since he had forgotten to take off his hat, he most likely had recently served in the army. There it is customary to wear a headdress in order to salute. And since he showed signs of a fever characteristic of the West Indies, this man apparently arrived from Barbados.

James Bond - "King of Spies" Sydney Reilly

There are debates about the prototype of James Bond, and this image is largely collective (former intelligence officer Ian Fleming gave the hero his own features). But many agree that the character is very similar to the “king of spies,” British intelligence officer and adventurer of Russian origin, Sidney Reilly.

Incredibly erudite, he spoke seven languages, loved to play politics and manipulate people, adored women and had numerous affairs. Reilly never failed a single operation entrusted to him and was known for being able to find a way out of almost any situation. He knew how to instantly transform into a completely different personality. By the way, he has a great legacy in Russia: his track record even includes preparations for the assassination attempt on Lenin.

Peter Pan - Michael Davis

Writer James Barrie's wonderful book about Peter Pan was inspired by the son of the writer's friends, Sylvia and Arthur Davis. He had known the Davises for a long time, was friends with all their five sons, but it was four-year-old Michael (a brilliant boy, as they said about him) who became the prototype of Peter Pan. From him he copied character traits and even nightmares that tormented the playful and brave, but sensitive child. By the way, the Peter Pan sculpture in Kensington Gardens has Michael's face.

Christopher Robin - Christopher Robin Milne

Christopher Robin from the books about Winnie the Pooh by Alan Milne is the son of the writer, whose name was exactly that - Christopher Robin. As a child, the relationship with my parents did not work out - the mother was busy only with herself, the father with his creativity, he spent a lot of time with the nanny. He would later write: “There were two things that darkened my life and from which I had to escape: the fame of my father and “Christopher Robin.” The child grew up very kind, nervous and shy. “The prototype of both Christopher Robin and Piglet,” as psychologists would later say about him. The boy's favorite toy was Teddy Bear, which his father gave him for his first birthday. And the bear, as you may have guessed, is Robin's best friend Winnie the Pooh.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" - broker Jordan Belfort

On the left is Jordan Belfort, and it is about his biography that we learn from the successful Hollywood film. Life raised the stockbroker to the top and dropped him into the dirt. At first he plunged headlong into a beautiful life, and later he was sent to prison for almost 2 years for fraud in the securities market. After his release, Belfort easily found use for his talents: he wrote 2 books about his life and began conducting seminars as a motivational speaker. According to him, the main rules of success are: “Act with boundless faith in yourself, and then people will believe you. Act as if you have already achieved amazing success, and then you will truly succeed!
