Do you know how to prolong your life? Don't know? Don't be upset, I didn't know either. But recently I read another story Lev Ivanovich Davydychev « My friends, buddies » and now I know the answer to this important question. So, if you are interested, then you can find out too. At the same time, find out how to fight nettles, where the village of Nizhnye Petukhi is located and how to get rid of the habit of telling lies. However, from the story « My friends, buddies » there is so much more to learn!

In general, books Lev Ivanovich Davydychev I really like it. I don’t know about you, dear readers, but the works of this writer always brighten my soul, lift my spirits, and see life in completely different colors. About one of the popular stories « » we have already said on the pages of BiblioGuide . Style Lev Ivanovich Davydychev easy, the words are simple, and events fly quickly and swiftly, as in the life of any boy! And if the author introduces us to the school life of the boys, then « My friends, buddies » allow you to reveal the boyish secrets of summer holidays.

And summer, as every real kid knows, is very short! Therefore, you should not miss a single important day! Apparently Lev Davydychev knows firsthand about the lives of boys, so he described every important day of the main character of the story, Pavlik Merkushev, 7 years old. No events were missed. And even a lecture on the history of the village of Nizhnie Petukhi Lev Davydychev I also wrote it down just in case. Because any boy knows that the story in every person’s life is very important! Especially when you really want to know why the Roosters are Lower, and where have the Upper and Middle Roosters gone? Just don’t think that this lecture was invented by some Murashkin! What a dreamer of dreamers! Liar of liars! It’s a pity that they don’t give medals for endless inventions and don’t publish articles about liar heroes in the Ogonyok magazine! As for the lecture, it was given by a real historian! And his name was Pyotr Petrovich Zolotarev. So, the history of the village of Nizhnie Petukhi is in good hands!

If one of the readers wishes to object and suddenly declares in the comments that there is no such village in the world!, then this means that the dream of the architect Uncle Semyon has come true! Because it was he who planned in his drawings how the village would grow into a resort town. There should even be a circus in it! True, the boys never managed to catch and train the green tigers, but they certainly won’t have to look for anyone willing to sell tickets to the show!

Do you know how real brave boys at the age of 7 behave when they are attacked by a land pirate? I didn't know either. Now I know. It turns out that they are not so scary, these land pirates! The main thing is to give them a worthy and fearless rebuff when meeting them!

Did you know that cows are even very intelligent creatures? Imagine, they know the address of their place of residence! And they don’t want to enter someone else’s yard for any reason! Even if you ask them very politely!

Yes, I’ll tell you, boys are brave people. But as soon as you start talking about girls, or even worse, start being friends with girls, then you need super-courage! But not every boy can do this!

In a word, Pavlik Merkushev had enough events that summer. Either the all-terrain vehicle had to be built, or the mystery of the bearded man had to be solved... But most importantly, Pavel was finally able to overcome his cowardice and make friends... with girls! Don't believe me? I didn’t believe it right away either. But... that's what I wrote Lev Davydychev, and he knows everything about boyish friendship!

Have fun reading!

PROJECT ON THE TOPIC:

LIFE AND CREATIVITY

LEV IVANOVICH DAVYDYCHEV

Performed by Daria Tarutina

Student of 4th grade

Secondary school No. 3

Berezniki, Perm region

Teacher

Yashchenko Tatyana Viktorovna

Berezniki 2009

Statement of the problem.

The Perm region is our homeland, and Perm writers were born here, lived and wrote their wonderful works. Lev Kuzmin, Vladimir Vorobyov, Evgeny Permyak, Lev Davydychev.

I chose the theme of the project “The Life and Work of Lev Ivanovich Davydychev.” Firstly, in the first grade we were given Davydychev’s book “Hands Up or Enemy No. 1”, and secondly, when I read the books of this author, I really liked them.

I set myself target: learn more about this wonderful writer, get the kids in your class interested in Davydychev’s work, create an electronic presentation about the life and work of L.I. Davydychev, hold a quiz.

Tasks:


  • find biographical and autobiographical materials about the life and work of L.I. Davydychev

  • collect information about the writer’s work and study it;

  • read books by L.I. Davydychev;

  • create an information book;

  • make an electronic presentation together with the teacher;

  • present a defense of a class project at a school-wide conference.

  1. I started the project by visiting the school library and immediately encountered certain difficulties, since there were no biographical materials in the school library.

  2. Then I turned to the teacher and read the books she recommended to me.

  3. I went to the children's library, the Uralkali library and others.

  4. I was looking for the necessary information on the Internet: biographical facts, portraits, photographs.
Then I re-read his works. I thought about why these works are so unusual.

The result my work was an information book about the life and work of the Perm writer L.I. Davydychev, then, when the children in my class re-read Davydychev’s books, I conducted a quiz on one of his works, “The Life of Ivan Semyonov.”

Biography

Davydychev Lev Ivanovich born January 1, 1927 years in the city Solikamsk, Perm region. Since 1939 he lived in Perm, graduated from a seven-year school. And from 1941 to 1945 he studied at oil technical school in the geological department, where he took his first steps in his literary activity, was editor the newspaper of geologists “Run”, the satirical magazine “Pseudomorphosis according to the Crocodile”, in which, as his fellow student at the technical school Matveev writes, it was not only students, but also teachers. After graduating from college, I worked for a year operator at the oil field in the city of Krasnokamsk. And there he soon wrote his first work“Bottle of Oil”, which was published in one of the Perm magazines. In 1946 he entered the Faculty of History and Philology, Perm State University. 1946 was the beginning journalistic activities of L. Davydychev. He is a reporter for the Perm newspapers Zvezda and Molodaya Gvardiya. And in 1952 it comes out first book for children"The Wizard of the Dacha Village" “I started writing with fairy tales, because it seemed that fairy tales were the easiest to write...much later I realized that this was the most difficult,” says the author.

In 1959, a book of stories by L. Davydychev, “Alien Suitcase,” was published in Perm. The most successful of them (according to critics) are “Girl with Three Braids”, “Reva”. In the story "Roar", perhaps first time humor becomes the means that unobtrusively educates the reader.

On the day of his sixtieth birthday (January 1, 1987) in the newspaper “Zvezda” L.I. Davydychev says: “At meetings with readers, I am constantly asked how many of my books have been published. But I never counted. But before my 60th birthday I finally decided. And I got 45. But these are editions and reissues. And in its pure form - fifteen. That works out to two years of work per book. This is on average. It doesn’t work faster.”(1, 135)

Lev Davydychev is known to us primarily as a children's writer. “The Life of Ivan Semyonov”, “Lelishna from the Third Entrance” - these names immediately come to mind when we hear his name. Cartoons, films, and theatrical productions have been made based on his works. Davydychev's works were published not only in Russia, but also in Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Bulgaria.

Based on the story by L.N. Davydycheva " Hands up! Or Enemy No. 1» directed by Vladimir Grammatikov in 1981 A musical film was made this year. The following famous actors starred in it: Georgy Vitsyn, Tatyana Peltzer, Irina Muravyova and others. Grammatikov’s films were once recognized as the best in the section of children’s and youth films at the international festival in Moscow and San Sebastiano, and “Hands up! Or Enemy No. 1,” according to the unanimous recognition of critics, was the leader at the All-Union Children’s Film Week in Minsk.

L.I. Davydychev was repeatedly elected executive secretary of the Perm Regional Writers' Organization, and was a member of the board of the Writers' Union of the RSFSR. For his fruitful literary activity he was awarded the medal “For Valiant Labor in Commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.” In 1971 he was awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor, in 1977 - a Certificate of Honor from the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR. In 1985, the Writer was awarded the honorary title “Honored Worker of Culture of the RSFSR.”

Winner of the regional Arkady Gaidar Prize.

A portrait of L.I. Davydychev adorns the foyer of the Perm Regional Children's Library named after. L.I. Kuzmina (the portrait was painted by the Honored Artist of Russia, Perm artist Stanislav Kovalev).

On November 24, 1988, L.I. Davydychev passed away. He died of a heart attack. His heart could not withstand the load that accompanied his creativity.

2007 in the Perm region was declared the YEAR OF L.I. DAVYDYCHEV.

October 9, 2008 a memorial plaque was installed on the building of the regional branch of the Union of Writers of Russia (Sibirskaya St., 30) with the inscription: “They worked in this house in the 20th century writers: Victor Astafiev, Vladimir Vorobyov, Mikhail Golubkov, Lev Davydychev, Nikolay Domovitov, Lev Kuzmin, Lev Pravdin, Vladimir Radkevich, Alexey Reshetov."


The initiators of the installation of the board were students of class 10 "B" of the Perm gymnasium.

What are the features of Davydychev’s works?


  1. With every new work humor is becoming more and more a strong side of L.I. Davydychev’s work.
The fairy tale “About the mouse with a golden tail, about the mouse with a silver tail and about the mouse that had no tail at all” begins with a dialogue that is already funny to read:

“I went into a zoological store and asked:

Are there any tigers?

Yesterday we sold them all,” the seller replied, “now we’ll have to wait until the new year.”

Long, - I said, - are there any interesting animals?

As much as you like. Here are the hedgehogs.

No, I don't need a hedgehog. What if I don’t notice and sit on it? I would like a softer animal."

The real skill of the writer was manifested in all his subsequent books. For example, in the book about Ivan Semyonov there were a lot of funny moments.


  1. The full title of the work is “The difficult life, full of hardships and dangers, of Ivan Semyonov, a second-grader and second-year student, written on the basis of the author’s personal observations and stories that he heard from participants in the events described, as well as a certain amount of fantasy” 31 WORDS! And in this - one more feature creative manner of the writer. The story about Ivan Semyonov was completed in 1961, and four years later a new one was ready - “Lelishna from the third entrance, or the story about a kind girl, a brave boy, a lion tamer, a poor student nicknamed Para, a funny policeman and other interesting personalities, to be listed in There’s no way to name it because it’s already too long” (38 words).
In 1969, the story “Hands Up! Or Enemy No. 1,” the full title of which has 59 words!

  1. And Davydychev is also a great inventor. If he wants to say something very important, he comes up with unusual line. Sometimes the letters are arranged in a column, sometimes diagonally, in steps, scattered, from right to left. Individual words in works are written with repetition of letters or syllables. Here are some examples:

  1. Ivan didn’t notice the girl, tripped over her and fell head over heels, counting the steps with his head.
    Knock!
    Knock!
    Knock!
    Knock!

  2. WE LEFT IVAN in second grade
N A T O R Y YEAR!

    Under the heat

how glad I was!

  1. Horror!
    Ivan overslept!
    IVAN SLEEPED OVER!!!
    IVAN SLEEPED OVER!!!

  • The reader will definitely re-read the thought so framed, because he understands: the author emphasizes the unusualness of the situation.

  • Before Lev Ivanovich, no one had played so selflessly in prose with lines and fonts, punctuation marks (at least in Perm). And so, in 1962, the Perm Book Publishing House, having suffered greatly with the unusual layout, published a book about Ivan Semyonov.

  • It was published in Vilnius, Warsaw, Prague, Kiev, Moscow, and Perm three more times (the last time in 2004).

A brief history of the creation of the film “Three and a half days in the life of Ivan Semyonov”

In the early 1960s, Perm writer Lev Davydychev wrote a story that is dashing in form and daring in content. The title alone is worth it - “The difficult life, full of hardships and dangers, of Ivan Semyonov, a second-grader and second-year student.”

In 1966, Perm Television produced a feature film entitled “Three and a half days in the life of Ivan Semenov, a second-grader and second-year student.”

Director: Konstantin Berezovsky.

Screenwriter: Lev Davydychev.

An ordinary Perm boy was chosen for the main role -

Vova Sparrow. Although he doesn’t look at all like Ivan Semyonov from the book.

According to the book, Ivan Semyonov is lanky. Director Berezovsky did not immediately like the short Vladimir Vorobey, but Lev Davydychev immediately approved him for the main role as soon as he saw him. By the way, Vladimir, unlike his character, was an excellent student and went in for sports, playing in the city team in the “Leather Ball” and “Golden Puck” tournaments. At first they planned to do Ivan’s makeup exactly according to the book, including painting freckles. However, this was abandoned; the character turned out to be colorful anyway.

The film turned out to be successful.

Vovka Sparrow gained lifelong fame. Forty-three years have passed, but Vladimir Vatslavovich is still invited to schools and libraries to talk with children and teachers and talk about the filming of the unique Perm film.

“The idea of ​​making a film about Ivan Semenov at the Perm television studio arose immediately after the publication of Lev Davydychev’s story. However, Perm television workers at that time had no experience in filming feature films. However, like director Konstantin Berezovsky, who came to work at the Perm studio television from Ufa. But after reading the script, and then the book itself, Berezovsky agreed to work on the film, setting the only condition - to give him a year to train young actors. Every week, the children were taught acting skills at the television studio, and the acquired skills were consolidated with the help of television performances. Most of the guys later played in “Ivan Semenov”.

The first Perm full-length film was released on April 1, 1966. At the same time, he became a laureate at the First All-Union Television Film Festival in Kyiv, and the young actor Volodya Vorobey received a prize for the best performance of a child role. The picture seemed to many miraculously, including from an economic point of view: its creation took 33 thousand rubles, which was 7 times cheaper than films created in capital studios. How much "Ivan Semenov" earned at the box office - and it was also watched abroad - only the state knows.
Songs are composed and composed about Ivan Semenov continuation. Children and adults willingly draw and sculpt it:
- artist Valery Averkiev (1976);
- second grader Evstrakhin Rudik (2001);
- artist Olga Davydycheva, granddaughter of the author (2004);

Writer Vladimir Kirshin (2003).

Ivan Semenov's dreams of fame came true. In recent years, the love of Perm residents for him has increased even more. Writers Vyacheslav Zapolskikh and Vladimir Kirshin, for example, created Society of Friends of Ivan Semyonov- for “propaganda and development of Perm literature, search and support of young talents.”

And in 2003, a monument was even erected to Ivan. The sculpture by Nikolai Khromov, carved from a single piece of granite, now stands in the park near the puppet theater.

Let’s admit: the former performer of the role was skeptical about “his” monument, calling it uninteresting: “This is not a monument to Ivan Semyonov, this is a sculpture depicting a schoolboy. Has nothing to do with Ivan Semyonov”

Vladimir Vorobey advocates that the city have a monument to Lev Davydychev and an alley named after him, in which many famous heroes of the talented children’s writer would settle, including Ivan Semyonov, but another.

A writer's museum has been opened in Perm school No. 2. Students from Perm School No. 2, where the film was filmed, are finishing the design of the “Museum of Children’s Books of the Kama Region” and the literary cafe “Ivan Semenov”. The culprit of these endeavors was Olga Davydycheva, the writer’s granddaughter. She, the heiress, inherited his huge archive, many paintings, books and manuscripts. She offered all this to the Perm Art Gallery, where she was informed about the existence of humanities school No. 2. It was there that about 40 paintings with dedicatory inscriptions of artists, Lev Davydychev’s library moved - most of the books also with author’s dedicatory inscriptions, an archive of manuscripts and a typewriter on which the famous children’s writer worked. The literary cafe “Ivan Semenov” has already opened on the ground floor of the school, in the design of which was attended by the performer of the role of a second-grader and second-year student in the film of the same name, Vladimir Vorobey. Photographs of Ivan and stills from the cult children's film look out at visitors from the walls. According to the school administration, the cafe should become a meeting place for high school students, various literary evenings, and intellectual games.

At the initiative of the Governor of the Perm Territory Oleg Chirkunov, a tradition arose of giving books by Perm writers to all first-graders of the Perm Territory. So, in 2004, a book about Ivan Semenov was republished, in 2005 - “Lelishna from the third entrance”, in 2006 - “Hands up! Or Enemy No. 1,” in 2007. - “This dear Lyudmila.” These books contain original illustrations drawn by Olga Davydycheva (the writer’s granddaughter). She admits that in the publishing house, when they were working on the book, there was an atmosphere of laughter - laughter could be heard from every corner.

The works of L.I. Davydychev are still loved and read by children.

Result.

I believe that the goal I set has been achieved. I learned a lot of interesting things about L.I. Davydychev, created an electronic presentation about his life and work, interested the children in my class in the work of L.I. Davydychev, we watched the film “Three and a half days in the life of Ivan Semyonov”, I gave a quiz on the book "The Life of Ivan Semyonov."
