It is included in the school curriculum, and also shielded more than once. The last film was released in 2014 and was very successful. It even more aroused the interest of the story "Sunflow" read, and also allowed Ivan Bunin to occupy [...]

Closer to mid-February it seems that even in the air is the love fluids. And if you have not yet felt this mood, gray sky and cold wind spoil all romance - You will come to the rescue Best Classic About Love!

Antoine Francois Preview "History of Cavaller de Grier and Manon Lesko" (1731)

This story takes place in the scenery of France of the Regency Epoch after the death of Louis XIV. The story is conducted on behalf of the seventeen-year-old young man, graduate of the Faculty of Philosophy in the north of France. Successfully powered exams, he is going to return to his father's house, but accidentally meets an attractive and mysterious girl. This is Manon Lesko, which parents brought to the city to give to the monastery. Arrow Amur pierces the heart of a young cavalier and he, forgetting everything, persuades Manon to run with him. So begins the eternal and beautiful history of the love of Kavalera de Grier and Manon Lesko, which will inspire entire generations of readers, writers, artists, musicians, directories.

The author of the love story - Abbot Preview, whose life rushed between monastic solitude and secular society. His fate is a difficult, interesting, his love for the girl of another faith is forbidden and passionate - the basis for the fascinating and scandalous (for his era) of the book.

"Manon Lesko" is the first novel, where against the background of reliable images of material and domestic realities, a subtle and heartfelt psychological portrait of heroes is drawn. Fresh, the winged prose of Abbot Abbot is not similar to the entire previous French literature.

This story telling about several years from the life of De Grier, for which the impulsive, sensitive, thirsty of love and freedom of the young man has time to turn into a man with extensive experience and difficult fate. Mattails and beautiful Manon: its immediacy and frivolity is replaced by the depth of feelings and a wise look at life.

"Throughout the most severe fate, I made my happiness in her eyes and in solid confidence in her feeling. Truly, I lost everything that other people honored and cherished; But I owned the heart of Manon, the only blessing that I was honored. "

Roman about clean and eternal love that arises from the air, but the strength and purity of this feeling is enough to change the heroes and their fate. But is enough of this power to change the life around?

Emily Bronte "Thunderstorm Pass" (1847)

Debuting in the same year, each of the sisters Bronte presented his novel on the world: Charlotte - "Jane Eyre", Emily - "Thunderstorm Pass", Ann - Agnes Gray. Roman Charlotte made a sensation (he, like any books of the most famous from Bronte, could be in this top), but after the death of the sister was recognized that the "thunderstorm pass" is one of the best works of that time.

The most mystical and closed of sisters, Emily Bronte, created a shrill novel about madness and hatred, about strength and love. Contemporaries considered it too rude, however, could not not get under his magical influence.

The history of generations of two families, unfolds on a picturesque background of Yorkshire fields, where the distraught wind ruins and inhuman passions. Central heroes are freedom-loving Catherine and impulsive heathcliff, obsessed with each other. Their complex characters, various social status, exceptional fate - all together forms the canon of the love novel. But this book is more than just a Rannevictorian novel about love. According to the modernist Virginia Wulf, "The idea that at the heart of the manifestations of human nature lie forces, towering it and raising the novels, and puts the novel Emily Bronte on a special, outstanding place in a series of similar novels."

Thanks to the "thunderstorm pass", the beautiful fields of Yorkshire became a reserve, and we were left in the inheritance, for example, such masterpieces, as the eponymous film with Juliets Binos, the popular Ballad "IT" Selin Dion, as well as Topping quotes:

"What is not reminded of her? I can't take a look at my feet so that it did not arise here on the floor plates her face! It is in every cloud, in each tree - at night fills the air, the day it occurs in the outlines of items - everywhere around me is its image! The most ordinary faces, male and female, my own features - everything teases me like. The whole world is a terrible palanch, where everything reminds that it existed and that I lost it. "

Lion Tolstoy "Anna Karenina" (1877)

There is a well-known legend about how in the circle of writers was discussed that there is no good novels about love in the literature. Tolstoy on these words was fixed and took a challenge, saying that he would write a good novel about love for three months. And wrote. True, in four years.

But this, as they say, history. And "Anna Karenina" - a novel who is included in the school curriculum. Such school reading. And here, every decent graduate at the exit is assimilating that "All happy families are similar to each other ...", and in the house of the Oblon "Everything was mixed ...".

Meanwhile, "Anna Karenina" is a valid great book about great love. Today it is considered (thanks, including the cinema) that this is a novel about the pure and passionate love of the Karenina and Vronsky, which became the salvation of Anna from boring husband-tyrana and her own death.

But for the author himself, it is, first of all, a family romance, a novel about love, which, connecting two halves, develops into something more: in family, children. In this, in Tolstoy, the main purpose of the woman. Because there is nothing more important, and most importantly, it is more difficult to grow a child, save a real strong family. This idea in the novel personifies the Union of Levin and Kitty. This family, which, in many ways, has written off from his union with Sofia Andreevna, becomes a reflection of the perfect connection of a man and a woman.

The kartines are "unhappy family", and analyzing the reasons for this misfortune Tolstoy and dedicated his book. However, the author is not started into the morality, accusing the sinful Anna in the fact that she destroyed a decent family. Lion Tolstoy, "Expert of Human Shower", creates a complex work where there is no rightful and guilty. There is a society that affects the heroes, there are heroes who choose their path, and there are feelings that heroes do not always understand, but which are given in full.

On this, I wrap my literary analysis, for this is already written a lot and better. I just express my thought: Be sure to reread texts from the school program. And not only from school.

Schedule Nuri Guntkein "Korolev - Poultry Poultry" (1922)

The question of which works from the Turkish literature became global classics, can put in a dead end. The novel "Bird Pevcha" deserves such recognition. The decades of Nuri Guntkein wrote this book at 33, she became one of his first novels. These circumstances are forced to be even more surprised by the skill with whom the writer depicted the psychology of the young woman, the social problems of provincial Turkey.

The fragrant and original book captures from the first rows. This is a lovery record of an excellent Feride, which recalls your life and your love. When this book first got to me (and it was at the time of my puberty period), on a bombing cover, "Chalykusha - the bird's bird" was concerned. I now seem to this translation name more colorful and lying. Chaliakusha is a nicknamed restless Feride. As the heroine writes in his diary: "... My genuine name, Ferida, has become official and used very rarely, just a festive outfit. I liked the name of Chaliakusha, it even got out of me. It was worth someone to complain about my tricks, I just shrugged, as if saying: "I have nothing to do with it ... What do you want from Chaliakush? ..".

Chaliakusu has lost her parents early. She is sent to raising to relatives, where she falls in love with the girl's son - Kamrana. Their relationship is not easy, but young people pull each other. Suddenly Ferida learns that its chosen one is in love with another. In the feelings, impulsive Chalykuchu twisted from the family nest to towards the real life, which met her hurricane events ...

I remember how, after reading the book, took the quotes in my diary, realizing every word. Interestingly, you are changing over time, and the book remains all the same piercing, touching and naive. But, it seems, in our 21st century, independent women, gadgets and social networks do not prevent a little naivety:

"A person lives and is tied by invisible threads to people who surround it. There comes separation, the threads are tensioning and rush as the strings of the violin, making dull sounds. And every time the threads are broken by the heart, man is experiencing the most acute pain. "

David Herbert Lawrence "Lady Lady Chatterley" (1928)

Provocative, scandalous, frank. Forbidden for more than thirty years after the first publication. The short-circuited English bourgeoisie did not suffer descriptions of sexual scenes and the "immoral" behavior of the main heroine. In 1960, a loud lawsuit took place, during which the novel "Lady Lady Chatterley" was rehabilitated and allowed to print when the author was no longer alive.

Today, the novel and his storyline hardly seem to us so much provocative. The young constant marries the chatterlee baronet. After their marriage, Clifford Chatterlery is sent to Flanders, where multiple injuries receive during the battle. He is forever paralyzed below the belt. Married life Connie (as affectionately calling her husband) changed, but she continues to love her husband, causing him. However, Clifford understands that the young girl is hard to spend all nights alone. He permits to make her lover, the main thing is that the candidacy is worth.

"If a man has no brains, he is a fool, if there is no heart - the villain, if there is no bile - rag. If a man is not able to explode, as a tight stretched spring - there is no male nature in it. This is not a man, and Pai-boy. "

During one of the walks in the forest, Connie gets acquainted with the new Events. It was he who will teach the girl not only the art of love, but also will awaken in it real deep feelings.

David Herbert Lawrence is a classic of English literature, the author of at least famous books "Sons and Lovers", "Women Loves", "Rainbow", also wrote an essay, poems, play, ways to prose. He created three versions of the novel "Lady Lady Chatterley". The last option, satisfied the author, and was printed. This novel brought him glory, but Liberenis's liberalism and the proclamation of the freedom of moral choice of a person, who came across in the novel, were able to appreciate only many years later.

Margaret Mitchell "Gone by Wind" (1936)

Aphorism "When a woman cannot cry, it's scary"Yes, and the image of a strong woman belongs to Peru American writer Margaret Mitchell, who became famous thanks to the only novel. Hardly there is a man who did not hear about the bestseller "Gone by the Wind".

"Gone by the Wind" - the history of the civil war between the Northern and Southern States of America of the 60s, during which cities and fate collapsed, but could not be born something new and beautiful. This is the story of growing young Scarlett O'Hara, who is forced to take responsibility for the family, learn how to manage their feelings and achieve simple female happiness.

This is the successful novel about love, when, besides the main and quite superficial theme, he gives something else. The book grows together with the reader: open at different times, it will be perceived every time in a new way. One thing in it remains unchanged: the hymn of love, life and humanity. And the unexpected and open finals inspired several writers to create a continuation of love story, the most famous of which are "Scarlett" Alexander Ripley or "People of Rett Batler" Donald McCaiga.

Boris Pasternak "Dr. Zhivago" (1957)

A complex symbolist novel Pasternak, written in an equally complex and rich language. A number of researchers indicate the autobiographicity of the work, but the described events or heroes weakly resemble the real life of the author. Nevertheless, it is a kind of "spiritual autobiography", which Pasternak characterized like this: "I am writing a big novel in prose about a person who is some relaxing between the block and me (and Mayakovsky, and Yesenin, perhaps). He will die in 1929. It will remain a book of poems, which is one of the chapters of the second part. Roman embracing is 1903-1945. "

The main theme of the novel becomes reflections on the future of the country and the fate of the generation to which the author belonged. Historical events play an important role for the heroes of the novel, it is the whirlpool of a complex political situation determines their lives.

The main actors of the book are the Doctor and Poet Yuri Zhivago and Lara Antipova, the beloved Hero. Throughout the novel, the paths were accidentally crossed and divided, it would seem forever. What really conquers in this novel is inexplicable and immentable as a sea love that heroes carried through their whole life.

The culmination of this history of love is becoming several winter days in the snow-lined estate Varykino. It is here that the main explanations of the heroes are taking place, here Zhivago writes its best poems dedicated to Lara. But even in this abandoned house, they do not hide from the noise of war. Larisa is forced to leave to save life to itself and children. And Zhivago, going crazy from loss, writes in the notebook:

A man looks from the threshold

Without recognizing at home.

Her departure was like escape

Everywhere traces of defeat.

Everywhere in the rooms chaos.

He is ruin measures

Does not notice because of tears

And the attack of migraine.

In the ears in the morning there is some kind of noise.

Is he in memory of Ile dreams?

And why his mind

All the thought of the sea climbs? ..

"Dr. Zhivago" - Roman marked by the Nobel Prize, a novel, the fate of which, as well as the author's fate, turned out to be tragic, the novel, who is alive today, as well as the memory of Boris Pasternak - is obligatory to read.

John Falez "Lover of French Lieutenant" (1969)

One of the masterpieces of Faulza, which is a spawning interlacing of postmodernism, realism, Victorian novel, psychology, alluzi on Dickens, Hardy and other contemporaries. The novel, which is the central product of English literature of the 20th century, is considered to be one of the main books about love.

Kanva history, like any plot of a love novel, looks simple and predictable. But FAulz is a postmodernist who experienced the influence of existentialism and enthusiastic historical sciences created a mystical and deep love romance from this story.

Aristocrat, a wealthy young man named Charles Smithson, together with his chief meeting on the shore of Sarah Woodraff - sometime "Love of French Lieutenant"And now - the maid, which will keep away people. Sarah looks unlike, but Charles gets contact with it. During one of Sara's walks, heothes a hero, telling about his life.

"Even your own past does not seem to you with something real - you are dressing it, you are trying to roll or fly it, you edit it, somehow Latase ... In a word, turn it into artistic fiction and remove the shelf - this is your book, your novelnized autobiography. We are all running from real reality. This is the main distinguishing feature of Homo Sapiens. "

There are difficult, but special relationships that will grow into a strong and fatal feeling are established between heroes.

The variability of the endings of the novel is not only one of the main techniques of postmodern literature, but also reflects the idea that in love, as in life, everything is possible.

And for lovers of the acting game, Meril Streep: In 1981, the director of director Carla Reisha came out, where the role of the main characters was performed by Jeremy Irons and Meryl Streep. The film, which received several kinonagrad, became a classic. But watch him, like any film based on the literary work, is better after reading the book itself.

One day she leaves his nest and flies to look for a black bush and will not calm down until it finds. Among the prickly branches, she sinks a song and rushes his chest on the longest, most acute spike. And, towering over the unspeakable flour, she sings, dying that the larks and nightingale would envy this journal song. The only, incomparable song, and it gets the price of life.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez "Love during the Plague" (1985)

Interestingly, when a famous expression appeared, that love is a disease? Nevertheless, it is this truth that becomes a push in understanding the work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, which proclaims that "... Love symptoms and the same plague". And the most important idea of \u200b\u200bthis novel is enclosed in another quote: "If you meet your true love, then it will not go anywhere from you - after a week, no in a month, no one after a year."

Our shoulders dropped 2019. It's time to tear your ass from the sofa, to produce eyes, drink minerals and finally start. I made up 2 list of books of world and Russian literature for you, to familiarize yourself with whom at least in 2016, if you did not earlier. Let's start, perhaps, with the "boring" Russian classics. Short!

Fedor Dostoevsky "Sleep of a Funny Man"

Did you think about suicide at least once in your life? If not, this is not a reason to bypass the story of Dostoevsky side. Everyone knows this author purely on the book "Crime and Punishment", however, in my opinion, in order to fully understand the essence of Dostoevsky, it should begin with the story of the "sleep of a funny person." How before the last shot to understand the essence of the human existence? How to exchange paradise to world wars and hatred of your neighbor? And most importantly - how not to pull the trigger. The end of the story can be entitled with the expression "Cherchez La Femme", if you understand why, everything was not in vain.

Anton Chekhov "Chamber number 6"

What do you think the Russian classic under the stack of vodka is better? I have a subjective opinion on this, but how are things going with the views of Comrade Gromov? How to combine reading books, a glass of vodka, a psychiatric hospital and two ingenious people with absolutely different and at the same time identical views on existence in this world? Such an oxymmer permeates the whole story about the sad truth of Merry Chekhov. Have you already understood how to drink literature?

Evgeny Zamyatin "We"

The founder of the great genre of anti-nightopias can safely be considered Evgeny Zamytina. I am sure if you choose on it, then they simply must know such great anti-dietaryists as Orruell and Huxley. If these surname tell you about something, I don't even think that you can't make yourself a jam and begin to absorb it with cutlets. Building system, talon relationships and solid capital letters. Instead of people. Instead of names. Instead of life.

Lion Tolstoy "Death of Ivan Ilyich"

On the cover of this book, I would write huge red letters: "Caution! Causes disappointment, pain and awareness. Sentimental stupid people are strictly prohibited. " Forget about the book "War and Peace" book, you have a completely different side of Lion Tolstoy, which costs all the volumes of a huge novel. Trying to find in the story "Death of Ivan Ilyich" a deep semantic subtext, you will miss the most important thing lying on the surface. Banal, simple truth that is available to everyone, whether escaping from us. If you found it in the story, and also learned to live on her, my bow and white envy you.

Ivan Goncharov "Oblomov"

That is what, and in the novel "Oblomov" find yourself easier than simple. Alas. As a beautiful contemplation of this life from the side, when the stupid bustle of this world is bypassing you. The first love that for some reason makes climb from the sofa, obsessive friends, forever trying to pull your lazy back into the light - as absurdly all this "boiling life". Bypassing her face, contemplate, think and dream, dream, dream! If you are like-minded this statement - congratulations, your soul soul was found in the main hero of the novel "Oblomov".

Maxim Gorky "Passion-Mordesta"

The work of Gorky did not accidentally receive such a symbolic name "Passion-Mordesti", because the story is impossible to read without trembling in the knees. If you are overly like children - do not read. If you are impressionable and emotional - do not read. If the girls with syphilis call you a purely disgust - do not read. In general, do not listen to me now, open the book and begin to scare the brutal realities of this life. Social bottom, dirt, vulgarity and still truly happy, "clean" people in children's and adult swords about impossible happiness.

Nikolay Gogol "Shinel"

A small person against a huge scary society or how to lose everything that is expensive to you, even if it is a simple sinel. The miser official, an unnecessary environment, a little happiness of the gazeman on great disappointment and death as the only logical conclusion. It is for example, Akakia Bashmachkina will consider a large significant and significant problem of society - theft of overcoats.

Anton Chekhov "Man in the Case"

How do you support relationships with your work colleagues, classmates or friends? Speaking one great way to enhance your sociability - come to visit them and silent. I give a one hundred percent warranty, society will be delighted with you. Umbrella in a case, clock in a case, face in a case. A kind of shell for which a person is trying to hide, protect against the outside world. A man who even his sincere love managed to shove into the cover and protect it not only from the object of love, but also from himself. So what about supporting relationships? Silem?

Alexander Pushkin "Copper Horseman"

And again we encounter a large problem of a small person, only this time in the work of Pushkin "Copper Horseman". Evgeny, Parasha, Peter and Love Story, would seem to be more ideal for the plot of a romantic drama? But no, it's not you "Eugene Onegin." Love love, break the city, lying a person, add to this a drop of the symbolic image of the copper rider and we get the perfect recipe for one of the best Pushkin's poems.

Fedor Dostoevsky "Notes from the underground"

And the closure list of Russian classics will be the one who we, in fact, began - the great beloved Dostoevsky. It's not by chance that the "notes from the underground" I put on the final place. After all, this work is not just an exciting, it is wild, if you can express it. Enhanced awareness of being - deadly disease. Activities - the lot of limited and stupid. If you like these interpretations, then Dostoevsky to your taste, and if you also have a prostitute, at least once in your life, they humiliated, so the "underground" will become a favorite place of your stay.
