Alexey Tolstoy - the author of Buratino

Fairy tale is the only form of knowledge of the worldinitially available to the child. Author Pinocchio Alexei Tolstoy contributed to the Russian children's literature. In addition to writing books for small children himself, he processed many folklore legends and magical stories, adapting them for children's reading.

The author Buratino himself confessed that,processing the folklore, selected the most interesting stories containing truly Russian folk language turns and amazing plot details that parents could read to children in the process of learning their native language and national culture.

His instructive tale of the wooden puppetItalian Lorenzini, author of Pinocchio, published in 1883 under the pseudonym Carlo Collodi. Tolstoy read a translation of this tale in a Berlin journal in 1923, shortly before returning from emigration, and decided to retell it for Russian children. At first the plan was only in literary processing, but it turned out very dry and instructive. Therefore, having enlisted the support of Marshak, the author Buratino continued to write it in his own way. In 1936, the fairy tale was printed first in a children's newspaper, and then in a separate edition.

Kollodi got terribly naughtythe puppet that the organ-grinder made to his misfortune from a magical piece of wood. It was called Pinocchio, in translation “pine nut”. Oh, and this tough nut set the heat to his father Dzhepetto! He did not want to work or study, all the time he lied, wandered, stole and was not treated. Although the magic cricket predicted him a prison or hospital. When a fairy tale was written, European pedagogical theory prescribed severely punishing a child for sins. Therefore, the hero is put on a chain, hanged, burned and even deprived of freedom.

But Pinocchio's soul was kind:he loved Dzhepetto's father and fairy with azure hair, was magnanimous and could repent. Along with didactic rigor, in the Italian fairy tale there are many original fantastic images. For example, the plot of the plot associated with a wonderful log, the Magic Field near the town of Durakolovka, where the wooden wrenches buried their five gold coins, the transformation of idlers into donkeys, and, finally, the notorious wooden nose growing from lies.

Russian author of the fairy tale Buratino for idleness is notpunishes, cricket, instead of prison and hospital, predicts danger and adventure. But is it possible for a boy to be frightened by such a future? In Carlo’s closet (mocker Tolstoy gave the organ-grinder the name of the author of the original source) the magic door is hidden, and the main character learns the secret of the golden key from her.

Decoupling tales are also different.Pinocchio, having gone through adventures and punishments, repents and is corrected, for which he receives a reward - the fulfillment of a dream. He becomes a living boy, not a doll. Tolstoy, as a Soviet author, Buratino makes the leader of the oppressed dolls. He takes them away from Carabas Barabas, the ruthless exploiter, to the new magical theater, the image of a bright future, which has opened behind a hidden door.

Pinocchio author does not endow the dream.He is a rebel and a leader, a merry fellow and a fidget. The magic golden key gets accidentally, like all the heroes of Russian fairy tales - Ivanushki and Emelya. But according to the instructions of the Soviet ideology, he uses it for the common, and not the personal benefit.

Modern parents read different books to theirgrowing up children watching cartoons with them. Little Russians know the fairy tale about the golden key and Pinocchio, but for some reason they love and consider Pinocchio their hero.
