The site "Brifli" (summaries of literary works posted on the Internet) is currently very popular with users and, unfortunately, very often replaces the reading of the original text for the modern audience. On the other hand, this project has many supporters who note the convenience of this form of acquaintance with the book with a minimum expenditure of time. This article discusses both the advantages and disadvantages of the project of A. Skripnik, who founded the portal dedicated to the concise characterization of works.

Pros

The site "Brifli" is very popular among today's youth. Brief summaries of fiction books are in increasing demand among the readership these days. Therefore, one of the undoubted advantages of Skripnik's project is the fact that reading the synopsis often helps the reader to decide on the choice of literature. A cursory and superficial acquaintance with this or that essay allows people to figure out what they want to read and what they don’t. Perhaps no one wants to spend their precious time on a work that they might not like, and even more so to spend money on buying a printedproducts.

Therefore, Briefly pages allow you to get an idea of the books. Brief summaries of both small and voluminous novels, short stories presented on the site also have the undoubted advantage that they reflect the main compositional elements of the essays, which help to concentrate on the idea, theme, idea of the author. Such a preliminary acquaintance will later help to focus on the main aspects of the book.

Flaws

At the same time, one cannot ignore the negative consequences of abuse by students and students of the content of the "Brifli" site. Brief summaries of works, unfortunately, often almost completely replace the reading of fiction for modern schoolchildren. The presence of a small laconic retelling saves them from direct acquaintance with the original. Even worse is the fact that this is quite justified, since in literature lessons, due to time constraints, the teacher usually asks only the most necessary things about a particular work, which just contain concise retellings that are distinguished by a schematic, dry presentation of the text.

Although they contain everything you need for a preliminary acquaintance with the work, but still they are clearly not enough for the reader to completely immerse himself in the world of the writer. This site aims to introduce you to literature, but does not aim to replace the reading of a literary text. Of course, nothing compares to reading the originalmaterial, which is often interesting not so much from the plot, but from the linguistic, stylistic and, of course, ideological points of view.

Place in modern literature

The site "Brifli" is very useful for modern readers. The summary of stories, novels, poems, thanks to the indicated pluses, has already become an integral part of the Internet. Every user these days one way or another turns to this project, where he can find a retelling of any book. This helps to save time and understand the main content of a literary work. And although many rightly point out that this way of getting acquainted with literature spoils in readers a taste for the classical language and a love for prose and poetry, nevertheless, the majority of users will speak in favor of this resource.

Meaning

In the end, it should be noted that based on the needs of the audience, the site "Brifli" is based. The summary of books as a preliminary form of acquaintance with literary works has the right to exist. Moreover, such a literary form, in principle, has always existed. Even before the development of the Internet, published and published books at the beginning contained a synopsis in which the publisher told the reader about the composition of the work, its idea and features in several sentences. At the present time, the Briefli project is rapidly developing, which, however, is explained by the demands of the reading public. I want toto hope that such a scope does not harm fiction, but, on the contrary, excites interest in books.
