An interesting question today is whether it is necessary to read the books of the classics of Russian literature to young people of our time. Why should they "bother" their heads with complex novels by Tolstoy or Dostoyevsky? Do they need Pushkin, Lermontov, Chekhov, Turgenev and others? There is only one answer - it is simply necessary to study the brilliant works of these great people.
Books of classics
And all because our great classics in their literary works touch upon very important and burning issues of educating morality and spirituality in a person, the search for faith and the meaning of life. A person constantly has to fight with something: with society, with himself, with personal enemies and solve many different kinds of problems. A crisis can come at any moment, and sooner or later he will want to know what is happiness, love, is it a reward or punishment, what is death and is there a God…
Books of the classics make us come close to all these issues and with the help of characters reveal some secrets to ushuman nature, often look into oneself, draw the right conclusions and find a way out of a difficult situation.
Meaning
How exactly does Leo Tolstoy in War and Peace describe the idea that every person needs to constantly improve, and that physical and spiritual beauty is not given by nature, but appears as a result of indefatigable work?
This endless self-improvement is the meaning of life. We must strive to become better, kinder and more moral. This is the only way to earn happiness, since it is given only to those people who have reached a high spiritual level.
Temptations
A person can make mistakes. But he is in himself weak and imperfect and very easily succumbs to various temptations. Like Dostoevsky in Crime and Punishment, his hero Raskolnikov decides to kill a nasty and greedy old woman, as he decided for himself that there is no place in this world for worthless and evil people, and now he himself can take on the role of a judge in order to facilitate thus the lives of many other unfortunate people. And he considered this his point of view the most correct. However, people have a conscience - a kind of moral self-control, which sooner or later will awaken in any individual and will act worse than any sophisticated executioner. Raskolnikov felt all this on himself.
Books
Well, now, in fact, we can list the books of the classics that every intellectually developing person needs to get acquainted with. Listwill be very brief, since everything simply will not fit in one small article.
Books of the classics include Pushkin's works: "Eugene Onegin", "The Queen of Spades", "The Captain's Daughter" and, of course, his extraordinary fairy tales; M. Lermontov: "Borodino", "Hero of Our Time", "Demon"; M. Dostoyevsky: "The Idiot", "The Brothers Karamazov", "Crime and Punishment"; N. Gogol: "Taras Bulba", "Dead Souls", "Evenings on a farm near Dikanka"; L. Tolstoy: "War and Peace", "Anna Karenina"; A. Chekhov: "Lady with a Dog", "The Cherry Orchard", "Three Sisters"; I. Turgenev: "Fathers and Sons", "Nest of Nobles", "Notes of a Hunter".
Also, one should not forget about the works of M. S altykov-Shchedrin, A. Griboyedov, M. Gorky, N. Nekrasov, A. Blok, A. Ostrovsky, N. Leskov, etc.
