How did Nikolai Nosov become a children's writer?

Nikolai Nikolaevich Nosov was born in Kiev, in the family of an actor. At the age of 15, he entered the concrete plant as a laborer. In 1927 he began to study at the Kiev Art Institute. Two years later, he moved to the Moscow Institute of Cinematography, and then worked as a film director - he shot educational and animated films. During the war, Nosov was awarded the Order of the Red Star for creating military-technical films.

Which parent has not had to compose poems, fairy tales, stories their children? Nikolai Nikolaevich also had to do this: he had a boy. The experiments were successful. In 1938, Nosov's story appeared in the Murzilka magazine. "Entertainers". But he became a professional writer only in 1945, when his first book was published.

"Knock-Knock!"- with this heading, Nosov, as it were, knocked on the doors of great literature for little ones. The subtitle "Funny Stories" was a claim for the birth of a humorist writer. Here we first get acquainted with Mishka, whom we later meet in a whole cycle of Nosov's small works: "Gardeners", "Mishkina porridge", "Telephone" and others. This boy is always trying to do something good, but does not measure this desire with his strengths and skills. Hence, situations arise that cause laughter, but not condemning, but benevolent. Nosov believes that "humor is ridicule with a touch of sympathy." Others enjoy great success with readers. Nosov's works for children: "Step", "About the turnip", "Dreamers", "The Adventures of Tolya Klyukvin", "Under the same roof".

Children's works by N. Nosov

The story "Merry family"

In 1949, Nosov's first story was published - "Merry family" . In many ways, it is still close to those stories of the writer, where the images of the guys who called themselves "Me and Mishka" are developed. Friends still do not know peace: "This is the character of Mishka and I - we definitely need some kind of activity." At first, the guys quickly move from one hobby to another: "Mishka is such a person - he definitely needs everything to be useful." But the boy thinks about the benefit not for himself, but for everyone. There is a community approach to his reflections on the benefits of state farm incubators. So, children need to be helped to find just such activities that would inspire them with a big goal. Only thanks to this goal, Mishka and his friend were able to grow chickens in a makeshift incubator for almost a month (a long time for restless boys!)

With the whole development of the plot, the author suggests that a big deal needs to be taken together, by a team. We see how in the boys, especially in Mishka, who was so careless just recently, a sense of duty, a sense of responsibility for their mistakes, is ripening.

The story "The Diary of Kolya Sinitsyn"

In the story "Diary of Kolya Sinitsyn" It also speaks of the children's desire to engage in a common cause. Unlike The Jolly Family, in this book, the guys act together from the very beginning and consciously look for "such work that will be useful." The form of the diary allowed the writer to convey the reflections of his hero. They have a lot of naivete, colored by the author's humor, and at the same time, how much moral purity, characteristic of the pioneers.

Following the example of Nosov's characters, many of the guys began to build incubators and breed bees. The writer V. Kataev tells what a rout his son did in the house, who, after reading The Merry Family, decided to follow the example of Kolya and Misha. Readers are attracted to Nosov's stories by the enthusiasm of the characters, the rapid development of the plot, the absence of long descriptions, which, as N. K. Krupskaya noted, are unacceptable for children aged 8-13. Many guys tell Nosov that they themselves, following the example of Kolya Sinitsyn, began to write diaries, and some even ask how to publish them.

Parents, after reading these stories, will truly understand how important adult support is for children. The old beekeeper from the "Diary of Kolya Sinitsyn" did not scold the boys who accidentally ran into his apiary, but helped them. Kolya reflects on this: “That's how kind grandfather turned out to be! He not only promised to give us bees, but he kept his promise.” This is a reproach to those adults who thoughtlessly violate the word given to the guys. “And I also had joy today,” Kolya writes after a while in his diary, “my mom and dad came to the apiary and looked at our bees.” Here is an example of how important it is to delve into the interests of your children, to encourage them with your attention!

The story "Vitya Maleev at school and at home"

If in the books "Merry Family" and "Kolya Sinitsyn's Diary" Nosov shows the development of interests and a sense of collectivism in the process of extracurricular work, then his third and most significant story in content is "Vitya Maleev at school and at home" (1951) - mainly devoted to educational work. She was awarded the State Prize and was among the best in the children's fiction book competition held by the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR.

... Inseparable friends Vitya Maleev and Kostya Shishkin love school, they want to study well, grow up to be real people. “You dream of something wonderful,” Vitya reflects, “and you want to grow up quickly, become strong and courageous, perform various feats and heroes ...” There is nothing surprising in these dreams. They are determined by our entire system, which opens up clear prospects for children from the very first years of school life. Vitya clearly understands why he should study, but the trouble is that he does not know how to concentrate - the temptation to play football turns out to be stronger than his still weak will.

In the books of Soviet writers, before there were images of children who, under the influence of the teacher and the whole class, became successful. But we did not see how this process took place in the minds of the losers themselves. Nosov, on the other hand, managed to look into the world of thoughts and feelings of his hero. “The discovery that Vitya Maleev makes, having solved the problem on his own for the first time,” said S. Ya. Marshak at the II Congress of Writers, “is not only the discovery of Vitya, but also the author himself. It is not so easy to show why the incomprehensible suddenly becomes understandable, how consideration depends on the imagination.

Kostya's correction process is much more difficult. He is less able than Vitya to analyze his actions, to be critical of them. Kostya even stops going to school and, deceiving his mother, pretends to be sick. It seems to him that it is easier to perform in the circus than to write a dictation. And although Vitya feels remorse, he still hides the truth from the teacher, from the whole class. To act otherwise, he thinks, would be uncomradely. But soon Vitya realized that a true pioneer should not hide the bad deeds of a friend, but help him improve. The pages describing how Maleev works with Shishkin, how they, despite the first failures, achieve success, are especially interesting in the story.

In the words of Lev Kassil, "educators will find in Nosov's story a lot of things that will be useful in their work." Let the parents think about how Kostya's mother failed to correctly direct her son's hobbies and inspired him that he had no will. And Aunt Zina kept threatening to "take him in, check his studies, but each time she forgot to do it." The example of Viti's parents is also instructive. Each time, the mother scolded her son for the fact that he sat down for lessons late, but did not help him properly allocate his time. And the father, undertaking to help the boy with arithmetic, simply solved the problem for him, and explained it so impatiently that Vitya did not want to turn to him anymore.

The book "Vitya Maleev at school and at home" was published 30 times in the first three years. Hundreds of letters about the children's favorite story are stored in the Children's Book House.

Tale-tale "The Adventures of Dunno"

N. Nosov says that when discussing his books, the guys often say: without friendship there cannot be a full-fledged school team, and the girls complain about the boys, who often behave arrogantly towards them. This topic is mainly devoted to the story-tale "The Adventures of Dunno and His Friends" . But why did the writer decide to resort to fantasy? He explains that "the very form of a fairy tale, as a work of fictitious events, is close to a game in its entertainingness, which arouses the interest of a child who is always willing to play." As usual in the works of Nosov, the main character of the new book - Dunno - is also endowed with shortcomings. He is inquisitive, active, but he does not know how to work, he does not have enough patience for this. Striving for fame, this shorty does not even neglect deception. The unknown is re-educated.

Fascinating episodes of Nosov's new fairy tale "Dunno in a Sunny City" says that good deeds must be done disinterestedly, that, having advantages, you should use them deliberately, otherwise you will harm others. Pictures of the sunny city are clearly directed to the future.

Nikolai Nikolaevich Nosov (November 23, 1908 in Kiev - July 27, 1976 in Moscow) - Soviet children's writer.

“Love for children was his general
trait, and she illuminated everything in him "
Mirimsky C.

Nikolai Nikolaevich Nosov was born in the village of Irpen, not far from Kiev, in the family of an actor. Before the revolution, he studied at the gymnasium. In 1923, after graduating from a seven-year school, N. Nosov came as a laborer at a brick factory. At the age of 19, he entered the Kiev Art Institute, and then transferred to the State Institute of Cinematography in Moscow. Since then, the creative biography of Nikolai Nosov has been associated with cinema for almost 20 years. He worked as a director, directed many animated, scientific and educational films.

Since childhood, Nosov was fond of all kinds of technology, he even dreamed of becoming a chemist. The trace of these hobbies in his stories and fairy tales - their heroes are constantly inventing, remaking, improving something. Few people know that it was thanks to his technical talent that Nosov was awarded the Order of the Red Star in 1943. The award was presented to him for a series of military-technical paintings he created, with the help of which our military men were trained to work with new equipment.

The beginning of his writing biography was unusual: his son was growing up, and Nosov composed small funny stories for him and his comrades. In 1938, his first story, "Entertainers", was published in the Murzilka magazine. In 1945, a collection of short stories called "Knock - knock-knock" was already published, and in 1947 the collection "Steps" appeared. Separate stories were published one after another in the magazines Murzilka, Bonfire, Zateynik, and in the newspaper Pionerskaya Pravda.

The stories of Nikolai Nosov have gained immense popularity among readers.

The heroes of the writer's stories are always busy with some interesting business: they build an incubator, breed bees, work in the garden, go to the forest for a Christmas tree or cook porridge. The example of heroes encourages readers to take up the same exciting business.

The best story by N. Nosov "Vitya Maleev at school and at home" was published in 1951 in the magazine "New World". Talking about how two fourth-graders from lagging behind students became excellent students, the writer does not even think of giving recipes for good study. Its protagonist is a cute, lively boy who looks down on his third-grader sister, from time to time decides to “start life over”, educates an “iron will”. His friend Kostya Shishkin is kind, gentle, even reasonable in his own way, but he has his own ideas about life. He took a notebook from Vitya to write off an exercise in Russian. “What is this,” I say, “you took a notebook without an inkblot, and you give it back with an inkblot.

“I didn’t plant the blot on purpose.

- What is my business on purpose or not on purpose.

- Why do I need a blot?

- How can I give you a notebook without a blot when there is already a blot. Another time there will be no blot."

The editor-in-chief of the magazine "New World" A. T. Tvardovsky, having published his story, introduced Nikolai Nosov into the "adult" literary world. From that moment on, real fame came to the children's writer. In 1952, the Novy Mir team nominated the story for the USSR State Prize. After the award, Nosov left the cinema and took up literature as a professional.

In 1954, the story "The Adventures of Dunno and His Friends" was published.

Its heroes are funny fairy-tale little men, “short men”, the size of a small cucumber, but in general they are very reminiscent of ordinary boys and girls. When reading Nosov's fairy tale, one gets the impression of a magnificent, bright, complete game of fiction, which a smart mentor plays with the children.

For the trilogy about Dunno in 1969, the writer was once again awarded the prestigious State Prize.

In the last years of his life, Nikolai Nosov created a book of thoughts about how a person grows - "The Tale of My Friend Igor." Already by the title you can see how respectful the writer is to childhood, what a thoughtful teacher he was in relation to his own grandson.

Igor Petrovich Nosov - the grandson of the writer Nikolai Nikolaevich Nosov, a photojournalist at ITAR-TASS, lived with his grandfather until he was seven years old, says:

“I have two main impressions of my grandfather. 1) Always been busy. 2) Always played with me. Either writing or playing. He adored his son, my father, adored me. I don't know who else. I practically didn't drink. I quit smoking at the age of forty. Attracted women: sociable, prominent. Hammered nails, drilled holes. Drawn, sculpted. I made something like an air conditioner: a lamp in a metal box; the lamp heats the air; air comes through the pipe from the balcony door ... etc. Also a game. Very obligatory, tough. Rigidity is not that he suppressed, but that he did not tolerate the optionality of others. Very smart. Strong-willed. Cunning. Careful. He did not speak on political topics. Collected materials, preparing to write about Lenin the child. But he didn't write. Was not a communist. Aleksin complained that Nosov did not go to meetings of the writers' cooperative. I rented a dacha in Vostryakovo, in Golitsyn. Is his humor related to the nature of the Ukrainians around him in childhood? Hard to say. Loved Gogol. He did not tolerate Dostoevsky, he oppressed him with his gloominess. He didn't hear anything about his parents. Neither about life before the revolution, nor after. This referred to what the grandfather kept quiet about. Why is unclear. He liked to buy toys for me. I remember how we went to Leipzig, still old, on Leninsky. He bought German cars. He loved to play with them.

For the last two years, my grandfather did not leave the house, did not walk. They treated the stomach, but the heart ached. I went fishing with my uncles, caught carp, made fish soup. They brought him. We ate together. He ate with gusto. It seemed to have recovered. And two days later his wife's sister Tamara came to the dacha. She said her grandfather died. At night. In a dream. I heard it, it was a good morning, it didn't fit. I was fourteen years old. His archive is kept by my father, by me. Few unpublished. Books are coming out. He continues to feed us. We are not greedy, we are not eager to receive large fees from publishers.

And the autobiographical story about N. Nosov's own childhood "The Secret at the Bottom of the Well", which is interesting to read for both children and adults, was published, unfortunately, after the death of the writer.

N.N. Nosov

Say what you like, but Nosov is the most suitable surname for a writer, especially for a children's writer, and even more so for a cheerful children's writer. Just listen: N o s o v - simple, easy and a little funny. Okay, in general. And even better, if the writer himself fits his last name.
Nosov really had a nose, and not at all small, such a large, noticeable one, and a big head, and broad shoulders ... And all this did not at all fit with his short stature and quiet, muffled voice. At first glance, such an unsightly person. Very silent, very reserved. Others called him "gloomy grumbler". But what did they know, these others? They probably didn't even read his books. And it should. However, it's never too late to start.
“- Bobik, go eat jelly as soon as possible! Barbos shouted.
Bobik ran:
- Where is the kissel?
Yes, it's on my back. Lick it.
Bobby let him lick his back.
- Oh, and delicious jelly! - is talking.
Then they brought the cake to the table. They also sat down on the table to make it more comfortable. They eat and talk.
- You're doing well! Bobik says. - You have everything!
- Yes, - says Barbos, - I live well. What I want, I do: I want - I comb my hair, I want - I play on TV, eat and drink what I want or lie on the bed.
- And your grandfather allows you?
- What do I grandfather! Think! This is my bed.
- Where does grandpa sleep?
- Grandfather is there, in the corner, on the rug ... "
Well, how could a gloomy grumbler write so funny? Or, perhaps, the widespread opinion is true that all the most cheerful comedians, as a rule, are irritable, gloomy and almost angry people? Maybe it is, but not in this case.
Nikolai Nikolaevich Nosov really was an unsociable, reserved person. But it came from some special delicacy, vulnerability and even self-doubt. Which seems strange, because by nature he had very diverse talents, as evidenced by at least his many hobbies.
“During my school years, I dreamed of becoming a musician (someone like Paganini at least), then I abandoned the violin, became interested in chemistry and quite seriously prepared to enter the Chemistry Department of the Polytechnic Institute; just before entering, he changed his mind and instead of the Polytechnic entered the Art Institute ... He graduated from the Institute of Cinematography, then worked in the cinema, then became a children's writer. So he will write about his "throwing" in his autobiography. But he will write, as always about himself, very briefly. In order to fill these dry words with colors and sounds, it is worth opening his story “The Secret at the Bottom of the Well”. And to see the small village of Irpen not far from Kiev, where then a small family of either a railway worker, or an actor (depending on the circumstances) Nikolai Nosov lived, and where his middle son, also Nikolai, literally took his first steps. Soon the family moved to Kiev - it was time to send the boys to the gymnasium. And just a few years later, a civil war broke out. Hunger, typhus, death - everything fell to their lot. And the well-known writer Nikolai Nikolaevich Nosov spoke about all this in his latest book. The story "The Secret at the Bottom of the Well" was published as a separate edition after the death of the author, in 1978.
And exactly forty years before that, his first story, “Entertainers,” saw the light of day. At that time, N.N. Nosov was still working in the cinema and continued to work there until 1951, shooting as a director a variety of (animated, scientific, educational) films. But at the same time he wrote funny stories for children and about children, which increasingly appeared in the magazines Murzilka, Koster, Zateynik and on the pages of the Pionerskaya Pravda newspaper. Appeared and immediately became incredibly popular. The secret of the reader's excitement was explained quite simply. First, in short stories, and then in “big” stories (“Merry Family”, 1949; “Kolya Sinitsyn’s Diary”, 1950; “Vitya Maleev at School and at Home”, 1951), Nikolai Nikolayevich hid so skillfully behind little heroes that it seemed as if they themselves, without any participation of the author, were talking about their lives, about sorrows, joys, problems and dreams. So, directly, without intermediaries, the characters and the reader found each other and talked and laughed together, and argued, and made friends.
Probably, for the same reason, Nosov's heroes then easily migrated to films and performances, remaining even there the most ordinary "non-fictional" boys - fidgets, inventors and dreamers.
Over time, all these heroes were joined by another one, this time a fabulous one. Dunno came himself and brought with him a whole horde of cheerful and noisy short men who chose Nosov’s three books as their permanent residence: “The Adventures of Dunno and His Friends” (1953-1954), “Dunno in the Sunny City” (1958) and “Dunno on the Moon" (1964-65). There they settled down perfectly and did what they wanted: quarreled, reconciled, flew in a balloon, went on a space trip, and even participated in the revolution on the moon.
But even these "fictitious" short stories looked suspiciously like their little readers. Especially the Dunno. Just like a tomboy boy, because of his own inability and arrogance, he gets into a variety of stories. That's why he loved it the most. And not only to our (then - Soviet) guys, but also to foreign ones, since through the efforts of translators he very soon spoke many languages ​​​​of the world. Even in Japanese!
So, if you happen to be in Japan, then don't be too surprised to see Dunno Cafe. Come in calmly - you will definitely be met there by an old, kind and cheerful friend.
