Мой любимый писатель (М. Лермонтов)
Один из наиболее знаменитых поэтов России всех времен, Михаил Лермонтов родился в Москве в семье дворянина. Он провел свое детство и молодость в Тарханах Пензенской губернии.
В 1830 г. Лермонтов поступил в Московский университет, но вскоре вынужден был оставить учебу. Тогда он поступил в Санкт-петербургскую Школу кавалерийских юнкеров. Он закончил ее и служил в полку императорской охраны.
В 1837 г. поэт был сослан на Кавказ за свое стихотворение «Смерть поэта». В 1840 г. Лермонтов был сослан на Кавказ второй раз. Его спровоцировали на личную ссору с товарищем. Ссора привела к дуэли. 15-го июля 1841 г. поэт был убит. Ему не было даже 27 лет.
Лермонтов начал писать, когда он был еще очень молод. Одним из его первых опубликованных произведений был рассказ в стихах «Хаджи Арбек».
Как поэт он стал известным после того, как было опубликовано его стихотворение «Смерть поэта». Стихи Лермонтова «Демон», «Мцыри», роман «Герой нашего времени» и пьеса «Маскарад» являются шедеврами российской литературы.
Писал ли он поэзию, драму или прозу,
печать гения лежала на всех его работах. Влияние Лермонтова как
поэта и мыслителя на всю русскую письменность невозможно
переоценить.

It is very difficult for me to choose out of them one name as my favourite writer because I can’t say I’ve read enough and know enough about English literature to make the right judgement. Yet, when I think about it, the first name that comes to my mind is that of Charles Dickens.
This English classic is well-known in our country. His books are translated into Russian and many films have been made after his novels.
Bom in 1812 in Portsmouth, he was the second of the eight children in the family. Although not poor by the standards of the time, the Dickens family lived through a series of financial crises. In 1823 facing a financial ruin, the family moved to London, where Charles began to work in a warehouse for six shillings a week. At that time his father was arrested for debt. Only at the age of twelve Charles was sent to school, where he did well, and at the age of fifteen he got a job in a legal firm. After learning shorthand, he became a reporter for the «Morning Chronicle» and soon wrote «Pickwick Papers». In 1836, when «Pickwick Papers» were published, he became the most popular living novelist in England and held this position until he died. The rest can be told in a few words. He published novel after novel- «Oliver Twist», «Nickolas Nickleby», «The Old Curiosity Shop», «David Copperfield», «Little Dorrit» and many others. Besides constantly writing novels he was editing newspapers and magazines, giving readings from his books to huge crowds of people.
There was no other novelist in England who had such a hold on all classes of people already during his lifetime. His books were read by all - by learned and simple people, by the rich and the poor alike.
The popularity of his books hasn’t diminished with time. The great-heartedness of the author appeals to the contemporary reader as much as it did a century ago. His kindly, understanding eye looks with tolerance on good and bad alike.
The last book by Ch.Dickens I’ve read is «Oliver Twist». It’s a very touching story about the hard life of English orphans in the workhouse. The miserable adventures of Oliver Twist can’t leave the reader indifferent. There is no better description of children’s suffering in the world of cruelty and greediness as there’s always a glimpse of hope for every character of his books, because Dickens believes in kindness and generosity of people. It’s not just a happy end that his books have, it’s a philosophy which gives optimism and faith to the reader.
I’ve read several books by American writers. The first American writer who came my way was Jack London whose stories struck me by unusual situations and the courage of his heroes. I also admire the humour of Mark Twain. I’ve read some of his stories and, of course, «The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn». A few years later I happened to read «А Farewell to Arms» by Ernest Hemingway and since then I’ve been fascinated by this great American writer.
When I read his biography I was impressed by his personality. He was born in 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois. His life was full of adventures and events that required courage, strong will and determination. He began his career as a brave war correspondent during the first world war. The scope of his interests was incredibly wide.
His war experience and adventurous life provided the background for many of his short stories and novels. He achieved success with «А Farewell to Arms», the story of a love affair between an American lieutenant and an English nurse during the first world war.
Hemingway actively supported the Republicans in the Spanish civil war. In his articles he denounced the fascist regime of Franco. «The Fifth Column» is a play about the Civil War in Spain.
In 1940 Hemingway completed the novel «For Whom the Bell Tolls». It’s a story about a young American teacher of Spanish who joins the Spanish partisans and gives his life for the cause of freedom.
In 1952 Hemingway finished his tale «The Old Man and the Sea». This story about an old Cuban fisherman is a hymn to human courage and endurance. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954.
Hemingway is famous for his simple style, which has been widely imitated but never achieved by other writers. His heroes
show courage in the face of danger, the feature which Hemingway admired greatly and which he himself possessed. Unwilling to live with the grave physical disease, Hemingway committed suicide, as his father had done before him under similar circumstances.
As far as Russian literature is concerned it’s hard to name one favourite writer and one favourite book especially if we talk about the 19th and the beginning of the the 20th centuries, known as the «golden» and «silver» periods in the Russian culture. Such giants of Russian literature as A.Pushkin, I.Turgenev, F.Dostoyevsky, L.Tolstoy, A.Chekhov and many others are known all over the world.
The writer who stands out of this list for me is Dostoyevsky. I look upon him not only as a great writer but a great philosopher as well. His ideas had an immense influence on the literature that followed and his deep penetration into the human soul and the motives of people’s behaviour impresses the modern reader as much as it did his contemporaries.
Dostoyevsky was bom in Moscow in 1821 into a many-children family of a doctor. Though the Dostoyevskies were a middle-class family the father was able to provide the best education for his sons. They studied at one of the most prestigious Moscow private schools of the time. After leaving school, F. Dostoyevsky entered the Engineering College in St.Petersburg. He started writing at the age of 25. His first publication was the novel «Poor People». In 1849 he was arrested for his political views and spent four years of his life as a convict.
Some years later Dostoyevsky and his brother Michael, who was his best friend throughout his life, started publishing a literary magazine «The Time». His world-famous masterpieces were all written between 1850 and 1880. For many years Dostoyevsky suffered from epilepsy and that caused his death in 1881.
Among his outstanding novels are «The Brothers Karamazov», «Humiliated and Abused», «Crime and Punishment», «The Idiot», «Demons». I’ve read all of them, but I think I am most impressed by «The Idiot».
In this novel Dostoyevsky wanted to depict a living ideal man. As he was deeply interested in religion and knew a lot about it, he was convinced that Jesus Christ was the only positive person in the history of mankind. That is why the main character of the novel, Pri nce Myshkin, resembles Christ in his qualities and intentions. Myshkin was Dostoyevsky’s favourite character. He comes back to Russia from Switzerland, but can’t find his place in the society of «the cult of money». He argues with other characters of the novel about beauty and morality. But like Griboyedov’s hero Chatsky he can’t change much about the world he lives in. Myshkin can’t be understood by the society which considers him «an idiot». Dostoyevsky contrasts two different approaches to human virtues and beauty. The main character says that beauty will save the world. But in the end he realizes that it is beauty that should be rescued. Unable to adjust to the cruel society he found himself in, he becomes mentally ill and is taken back to Switzerland.
My Favourite English Writer
It"s said that none of the British writers of our age enjoyed such popularity all over the world as Agatha Christie did. Her works were translated into many languages, and scores of films were made using them as the script.
The name of Agatha Christie is a synonym for high-class detective story, as well as Pele is a symbol of football, and Marilyn Monroe is an embodiment of femininity. According to Agatha Christie herself, she began to write just to imitate her sister whose stories had already been published in magazines.
And suddenly Agatha Christie became famous as if by miracle. Having lost her father at an early age, the prospective writer didn"t receive even fairly good education. During the First World War she was a nurse, then she studied pharmacology. Twenty years later she worked in a military hospital at the beginning of the Second World War.
The favourite personages of the "queen of detective story" are the detective Hercules Poirot and the sedate Miss Marple who carry out investigations in noisy London and delusive quiet countryside. The composition of her stories is very simple: a comparatively closed space with a limited number of characters, who are often plane or train passengers, tourists, hotel guests or residents of a cosy old village.
Everyone is suspected! Murders in the books of Agatha Christie are committed in most unsuitable places: in the vicar"s garden or in an old abbey; corpses are found in someone"s libraries being murdered with the help of tropical fishes, a poker, candelabra, a dagger or poison. Once Agatha Christie wrote: "Some ten years will pass after my death, and nobody will even remember me...". The writer was mistaken.
Agatha Christie"s novels are very popular now. People of all continents read and reread "The Oriental Express", "Ten Little Negroes", "The Bertram Hotel", "The Corpse in the library" and other of her novels time and again, enjoy films made by her works, and one can hardly find a country where people do not know her name.
Мой любимый английский писатель
Говорят, что никто из английских писателей нашего времени не пользовался такой популярностью в мире, как Агата Кристи. Ее произведения переведены на многие языки, и десятки фильмов были сняты на эти сюжеты.
Имя Агаты Кристи — синоним первоклассной детективной истории, так же, как Пеле — символ футбола и Мерилин Монро — воплощение женственности. По словам самой Агаты Кристи, она начала писать, подражая своей сестре, чьи истории уже публиковались в журналах.
И вдруг Агата Кристи стала знаменитой, как в сказке. Потеряв отца, будущая писательница не получила хорошего образования. Во время первой мировой войны она была санитаркой, потом она изучала фармакологию. Двадцать лет спустя, в начале второй мировой войны, она работала в военном госпитале.
Любимые герои "королевы детектива" — Эркюль Пуаро и сдержанная мисс Марпл, которая проводит расследования в шумном Лондоне и в обманчивой тиши деревни. Сюжет ее историй очень прост: сравнительно ограниченное пространство с малым количеством героев: пассажиры самолета или поезда, туристы, жители отеля или обитатели маленькой уютной деревни.
Каждый подозревается! Убийства в книгах Агаты Кристи совершаются в самых неподходящих местах: в саду аптекаря или в старом аббатстве; трупы находят в чьих-то библиотеках убитыми с помощью тропических рыбок, кочергой, канделябром, кинжалом или отравой... Однажды Агата Кристи написала: "Пройдет около десяти лет после моей смерти — и никто меня даже не вспомнит..." Писательница ошиблась.
Романы Агаты Кристи очень популярны и сейчас. Люди всех континентов читают и перечитывают "Восточный экспресс", "Отель "Бертрам", "Десять негритят", "Труп в библиотеке" и другие ее романы, наслаждаются фильмами, снятыми по ее произведениям, и не найти страну, где бы не знали ее имени.
Reading is the pleasant and useful part of our life. People like reading. I think so because a lot of books are bought and sold every day in different bookshops and in streets (or: outside) too. Of course, radio and television are more popular among people but books still play an important role for us. Reading enriches our mind. It can satisfy many different demands and literary tastes. It reveals to us its own world of life, which is sometimes cruel or sorrowful and sometimes is joyful or fantastic.
Speaking about reading I can’t help saying about my favourite writer. He is one of the most famous Russian authors of the 19th century – Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov.
His life was momentary and blinding as a gleam of lightning in a stormy sky.
Not having lived till 27 years old, he passed the entire circle of life with flights of inspiration and bitterness of disappointments. He went through many troubles in his life: great success and two exiles, disappointments and love, smoke of battles and intrigues of a high society.. And died in thunderstorm… This is the entire circle.
Just two latest figures changed their places in the dates of his life. But how many emotions were experienced by him and what antagonism of ideas existed in his mind and soul!
I like novels, stories and poems by Mikhail Lermontov very much. Needless to say that the most part of the poems and almost all novels and stories are full of melancholy – this is the particularity of his works.
No doubt, all of us have read his poems at school and of course have got acquainted with “The Hero of Our Time”. In this novel through the heroes Lermontov tried to express his own sense of time and events.
The main character is Grigoriy Alexandrovich Pechorin – an individualist with a conflict in his sole. He disdains a high society and searches for a real affair, where he could apply his skills and his talents, where he could put his soul. But he doesn’t find such an affair and suffers from it.
Pechorin is a deep character. He is like his author, a man who searches for real life, deep feelings, true love and feels useless in his time.
Lermontov never wrote non-fiction. All his compositions are made-up but a great part of them is connected with real events of the 19th and other centuries. There is no humor in his works, they are deep and full of the author’s thoughts. They reflect the problems of the society and make us think. That is why I like them very much and enjoy every minute, reading books by Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov.

Тема по английскому языку: Мой любимый английский писатель Чарльз Диккенс
Топик по английскому языку: Мой любимый английский писатель (My favourite writer is Charles Dickens). Данный текст может быть использован в качестве презентации, проекта, рассказа, эссе, сочинения или сообщения на тему.
Любимый писатель
Я прочитал достаточно много книг английских писателей. У каждого их них свой литературный стиль, но больше всех мне нравится Чарльз Диккенс.
Ранние годы
Диккенс родился в Портси 7-го февраля 1812 года. Его молодые годы были несчастными, однако к концу жизни он стал богат и знаменит. Отец Чарльза служил в финансовой части военно-морских сил. Когда Чарльзу было четыре года, его семья переехала в Чатхэм. С ранних лет у мальчика наблюдалось богатое воображение и драматический талант. Его родителям нравилось, как их сын читает стихи и представляет сцены из пьес и романов.
Выход на работу
Когда Диккенсу было десять лет, его семья переехала в Лондон. Очень скоро Чарльзу пришлось начать работать, так как его отца посадили в логовую яму. Чарльзу платили очень мало, и первые два годы он недоедал. Однако его нищета помогла ему познакомиться ему с жизнью бедных людей, что очень помогло ему, когда он стал писателем.
Дорожные впечатления в романах
Как только отец Чарльза вышел из тюрьмы и сумел раздобыть немного денег, он отправил своего сына в частную школу. После этого Чарльз работал служащим в адвокатской конторе и в свободное время изучал стенографию. В девятнадцать лет он стал репортером в газете. Он часто осуществлял поездки по селам, и его «дорожные» впечатления нашли свое место в некоторых его романах.
Посвящение в литературу
Когда Диккенсу исполнилось двадцать пять, он написал очерк, подписал его «Боз». Очерк напечатали в журнале. В последствии он написал множество очерков, и читатели были очарованы их юмором. Так родились знаменитые «Посмертные записки Пиквикского клуба», и с тех пор Диккенс полностью посвятил себя литературе.
Самые известные произведения
Среди знаменитых книг этого автора можно отметить «Оливера Твиста», «Николаса Никлби», «Дэвида Копперфильда», «Домби и сына», «Крошку Доррит», «Тяжелые времена» и «Лавку древностей». Несмотря на свой искрометный юмор, Диккенс никогда не был счастлив. Семейные трудности, беспокойство за детей и чрезмерные нагрузки истощили силы великого писателя, и в 1870 году Диккенс умер. Ему было всего 58.

My favourite writer is Charles Dickens
My favourite writer
I have read quite a number of books written by English writers. Each of them has its own style in literature and the most attractive for me appeared to be Charles Dickens’s.
Early years
Dickens was born at Portsea on the 7th of February in 1812. He knew misery in his younger years and became rich and famous in the end. Charles’s father was a clerk in the Navy Pay-Office. When Charles was four, his family moved to Chatham. The boy showed the imagination and dramatic talent from his early childhood. His parents loved to hear him recite poetry and act scenes from plays and novels.
Starting work
When Dickens was ten, his family moved to London. Very soon Charles had to go to work as his father was put in prison for debt. Charles was paid very little money and for two years he never had enough to eat. His poverty, however, brought him in contact with the poor which was of great value to him when he became a writer.
“On the road” experiences
As soon as Dickens’s father left prison and managed to get some money he sent his son to a private school. After that Charles became a clerk in a lawyer’s office and in his spare time studied shorthand. At the age of 19 he became a reporter for a newspaper. He was often sent into the country and his experiences “on the road” can be found in some of his novels.
Dedication to literature
When Dickens turned 25 he wrote a sketch and signed it Boz which was accepted by a magazine. Later he wrote more sketches and readers were charmed with their humour. Thus was born his famous Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club and from that time on Dickens devoted himself to literature.
The most famous of his books
Among the most famous of his books are Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, David Copperfield, Dombey and Son, Little Dorrit, Hard Times and The Old Curiosity Shop. Despite the sparkling humour of his novels Dickens never succeeded in being completely happy. Family troubles, worry over his children and overwork exhausted the great writer and in 1870 Dickens died. He was only 58.
