Two worlds collide in the story. Nature is a big, spacious house in which everyone should have enough space. This world is generous, but it can be both harsh and cruel, it can hit back. The human world... In the story, a bird (raven) interferes in the course of events, sets priorities for Dima, sharply indicates the position of each of the characters and becomes the center of the conflict.

Tatyana Goncharuk "Pawns"

"There are people who live without electricity and civilizational derivatives from it, besides, they have not decided: hikers are" pawns ", people from ours, or underworld? And this is in Karelia. The language of "Pawns" is so good, the author is detailed and accurate in detail, that the story looks authentic. Anyway, I, a little representing the problems of remote villages of Karelia, would classify "Pawns" as a fantasy genre, or at least a historical story - maybe it was like that 15 years ago? But that won't hurt the reader's enjoyment.". - Mikhail Loginov.

However, Mira's will, quick wit and kindness make her the absolute winner in the nut race Natalia Gonzalez-Senina and Vladimir Yatsenko (pseudonym Vlad Rai) told a kind and bright story that social solidarity and understanding of other people's problems is more reliable than individual predation". - Mikhail Loginov.

Natalya Volkova "MULTICOLORED SNOW"

"AT Soviet time there were stories about how pioneers expose a traitor during the war. In "Snow" before the heroes and, first of all, the heroine, another task is to rehabilitate a person who was shot for collaborating with the Nazis. More precisely, to understand how it really happened. "Snow" is a story about not rushing to condemn, and trying to justify the accused, seventy years ago or in our time. This morality can be called Christian, and humane, and just good". - Mikhail Loginov.

"Another duet is Valery Ivanov and Olga Kolobova, archaeologists from Rostov-on-Don. The Heiress is a historical and archaeological popular book, with the addition of four illustration stories about teenagers from different eras of the ancient world.

"When in the city of Shrew, a beautiful shrew gives birth to a slittooth - a symbol of ugliness, he is taken to an orphanage, assigned a number and forced to sew shoes. This cruel world is written out by the author as cute and fearless as possible. Moreover, kindness, as always, does not slumbering. Plus a host of wonderful inventions, such as the koshkoptah singing on the balcony of a venerable shrew. Or a vegetarian shrew dreaming of opening a rodent on wheels whose menu will not include insects." - Mikhail Loginov.

A young man is in love with a girl, but she is a mutant. And if she falls in love with him, she will disappear. But he doesn't know it yet. What is it like to be an ordinary person among a race of super beings? What is it like to be mutants on the planet of humans?

2014 Prize Winners

Russian authors became laureates of the Vladislav Krapivin International Children's Literary Prize. The award to the best modern children's writers on October 14 - his birthday - was traditionally presented by the founder of the competition himself.

"The overall impression of the works is very good. There is not a single work that would cause complaints. And I was sincerely happy for the level of all the works, as if I had found myself in a library where there are very good, interesting books. Those who became laureates deserved this award justified,” said Vladislav Krapivin.

As a result, the first place went to the writer from Moscow Stanislav Vostokov with the book "Frosya Korovin".
The second place was awarded to Nina Dashevskaya, a musician from Tver, for the story "Willy".
Third place went to Ekaterina Kreutzwald with the book "Marta".

Vostokov Stanislav "Frosya Korovina"

In the Vologda village, the girl Frosya lives with her grandmother (while her parents are geologists wandering around on expeditions) and grows up as a “real village woman”, who knows how to manage both in the garden and to old house fit another piece that has fallen off, and ski to the neighboring village to school, and skate along the ice of the river to the regional center ...

Frosya and her grandmother Aglaya Ermolaevna live in the monument. Not in a statue, of course. In the architectural monument! And Frosya's worries are sometimes not the same as those of an ordinary girl: not about new outfits and computer games, but about how to get to the city in a snowfall, how to manage the household alone, if the grandmother is in the hospital (she had only one assistant - the bear Gerasim). And then the house was stolen: the employees of the Museum of Wooden Architecture took it to the museum... The humorous story is suitable for readers from 10 years old. This book has amazing characters, wonderful humor, a lot of strange words like "basement" and "stupid", and even fresh country air!

Dashevskaya Nina

Last year, Nina Dashevskaya made her debut as an author of children's literature and for the first time took part in the competition with the work "Violin by an Unknown Master". Then she managed to become one of the finalists and win a special prize from the association of libraries in Yekaterinburg. This year, her book on the talking bike won the highest award.

"This is a work about friendship and the search for friends. About the fact that friends can be with us, but we don't see them. And it's also a book about the fact that there is reality and there are dreams. It is generally accepted that dreams interfere with doing business, and I would like to show that dreams lead to real results,” explained Nina Dashevskaya.

This year, one of the innovations is that children were able to choose their own winner, regardless of the opinion of the adult jury. They became a Samara writer Victoria Lederman and her work "Calendar Ma (y) I".

“This year we involved the children themselves in the judging. Because it is children who are the ones for whom the books are intended, for whom this literature is being created. It is in vain to say that young people read little. The children read, but it is important what kind of literature falls into the hands of the children,” said Larisa Krapivina, a member of the Literary Council of the Prize.

Chilling story "Death to dead souls!" Andrey Zhvalevsky and Evgenia Pasternak - an action-packed thriller, which takes place in ... a library.

The main characters are books. Children, however, also come across, and many of them can not stand the lessons of literature. But at the end of the story, even those who used to fall asleep at the mention of, say, Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy, begin to understand that not all classics are terrible boring things, that War and Peace, it turns out, is even nothing, and they themselves rush to the library write school fanfiction.

2nd place: Anastasia Maleiko (Russia, Chelyabinsk) "My mother loves the artist."

Booker Prize - 2015

Jamaican native wins 2015 Booker Prize Marlon James for my book Short story seven murders. This decision was made in London by the jury of this prestigious award, awarded for works in English.

Marlon James is the first ever Booker Prize winner from Jamaica.

In A Brief History of the Murders, Marlon James writes about a true story - the assassination attempt on Bob Marley in December 1976 - but does not retell the events that took place, but uses the assassination attempt as an excuse to talk about class and racial issues in Jamaica and the relations of a small state with the United States.

“James has an undeniable and amazing talent: he created an epic, wide, mystical and colossal novel. At first, you will have to get used to a large list of characters: there are politicians, informants, corrupt cops, drug dealers and musicians. But by engaging in history, you will have an interesting, albeit difficult, experience.” - such a review of the novel was published in the American edition of The New York Times.

The Booker Prize has been awarded since 1969. Its laureates in different years were such authors as Salman Rushdie, Kingsley Amis, Iris Murdoch and others. In 2014, the Australian writer Richard Flanagan won the award for his book The Narrow Road to the Far North.

Goncourt Prize - 2015

The 43-year-old travel writer became the laureate of the literary prize of the Goncourt Academy Matthias Enar. The author received a prestigious award for his novel Compass, a book about an Austrian musicologist and his trips to the Middle East.

In the literary environment, it is generally accepted that the Renaudeau Prize was established in 1926 by journalists who were languishing in anticipation of the results of the Goncourt jury meeting. Therefore, the Renaudeau Prize is always awarded on the same day as the Goncourt Prize, but one minute later. The award does not imply any reward. But, despite the "lack of money", it is the second most important literary award in France after Goncourt. The prize consists in the fact that a year after its award, a fun dinner is arranged in honor of the laureate.

Its laureates over the years have been Marcel Aimé, Louis-Ferdinand Celine, Louis Aragon, Michel Butor, as well as Nobel Prize winner in literature Gustave Leklezio. In 2014, the Renaudo Prize was presented to David Fonkinos for his novel Charlotte.

In the center of the novel are the parallel destinies of Yakov Ossetsky, a man of books and an intellectual born in late XIX century, and his granddaughter Nora - a theater artist, a self-willed and active personality. Their "acquaintance" took place at the beginning of the 21st century, when Nora read the correspondence between Yakov and Maria's grandmother and received access to his personal file in the KGB archive...

"National Bestseller"

The National Bestseller is one of the three largest Russian literary awards. This is the only annual all-Russian literary award, which is awarded in St. Petersburg for the best novel written in Russian during the calendar year. The motto of the award is “Wake up famous!”.

Season 16 winner Leonid Yuzefovich with romance "Winter road"

Leonid Yuzefovich - writer, screenwriter, historian, candidate of historical sciences. Author of detective and historical novels. Winner of literary awards: "National Bestseller" (2001, "Prince of the Wind") and "Big Book" (2009, "Cranes and Dwarfs").

The author's new book tells how, in the vast expanses of Yakutia, at the very end of the civil war (1922-1923), the paths of the white general, truth-seeker Anatoly Pepelyaev and the red commander, anarchist Ivan Strod, crossed paths. Two extraordinary historical figures, both idealists, fanatically following their inner convictions. In the center of the book is their tragic confrontation among the Yakut snows, the story of their life, love and death. Their fates were different. Pepelyaev, after the defeat and captivity, served 13 years, Strod was awarded the order Red Banner, graduated from the Frunze Academy. At the same time, both ended their lives in the same way - during the "great terror" they were accused of counter-revolutionary activities and shot. They were rehabilitated - Strod in 1957, and Pepelyaev - in 1989.

The calm tone of the narrative is perhaps the most radical difference between his novel and most books about the war.

Literary award "Russian Booker"

"Russian Booker" is the first non-state award in Russia, established after 1917. The award was founded in 1991, the first presentation took place in 1992.

Presenter of the program "ABC of Reading" on "Radio Culture".

The protagonist of the novel by Peter Aleshkovsky "Fortress" - Ivan Maltsov - historian, archaeologist. He is conducting excavations in an old Russian town and at the same time writing a book about the history of the Golden Horde. The authorities do not appreciate him, and his wife does not understand and does not share his views and beliefs. His strength is in loyalty to the profession, in honesty to himself and to people. It is strong, but it is precisely because of it that the hero is not able to negotiate with society, cannot adapt to today's reality, in which everything is decided by money and connections. It is very difficult for a person like Ivan Maltsov, with principles and self-esteem, to live when there is betrayal, flattery and money around, for the sake of which people forget about humanity, values ​​and their roots. Maltsov enters into an unequal and obviously doomed struggle with the system in the name of saving the ancient Fortress, which is threatened with destruction.

“I worked on the novel for six years. I called my work that way, because now the most important thing is to preserve the inner fortress, not to give up to cheap trends that fall upon us - lack of culture, the desire for profit, unwillingness to explore the past, create myths and maintain myth-making, ”Aleshkovsky said at the festive ceremony.

The novel "The Fortress" reached the final of the "Big Book" award.

In one of the interviews, Irina Bogatyreva about the book “Kadyn”: “The novel “Kadyn” arose out of love for Altai, passion for its culture, nature, history. The plot is based on the legend of the heroic sisters defending Altai. I copied the life of the Scythians from the archaeological materials of the Pazyryk culture (6-4 centuries BC), the most famous find of this period is the mummy of a girl from the Ukok plateau (the so-called princess of Ukok).

Reflecting on the source of his talent, an adult man mourns the world of his childhood, where even a wavy line on the horizon, where the sky converges with the hills, gave birth to a melody in the boy. With pain and anguish, he notices that with the growth of his genius, the genius of a composer, the “soul” of the village is shrinking and fizzling out. The songs and melodies that once sounded incessantly there now remain only in his creations.

This is a story of a choice between creativity and love, in which "everything becomes different when it comes into contact with death."

The main character is a talented seventeen-year-old girl, "the second Janis Joplin", as they say about her. A "bad girl" who, despite endless throwing, turns out to be a real person in a critical situation. But the main thing that makes the book absolutely universal is the subtly and accurately conveyed feeling of age, teenage throwing and love.
