slide 2

The story "Childhood". It is unlikely that anyone before Tolstoy managed to convey the charm of childhood so vividly and poetically. “Happy, irretrievable time of childhood. Memories of him refresh, elevate my soul.

slide 3

In 1854, L. Tolstoy wrote the story "Boyhood". Life poses serious questions for the heroes.

slide 4

Let's remember how Alexey in his entry of September 25 (p. 29) admires the beautiful old word"boyhood". Do you remember the meaning of this word?
ON THE. Nekrasov warmly approved of "Childhood" and asked to send a continuation of the novel to the magazine. In August 1854, Tolstoy sent the manuscript to Nekrasov, informing him that he valued Boyhood no less, but more than Childhood. “The talent of the author of Boyhood is original and sympathetic to the highest degree,” wrote Nekrasov L.N. Tolstoy.

Slide 5

Boyhood was published in the tenth issue of Sovremennik in 1854. In 1856, two stories were published as a separate book. In a review of this edition, N.G. Chernyshevsky emphasized that the works of L.N. Tolstoy is attracted by the freshness and purity of moral feeling.

slide 6

“Only with this immediate freshness of the heart,” Chernyshevsky wrote, “could one tell Childhood and Adolescence ... Without the integrity of the moral sense, it was impossible not only to fulfill these stories, but also to conceive them.” In the same article, Chernyshevsky pointed to distinguishing feature Tolstoy's talent is his ability to penetrate unusually deep into inner world of a person, into his psychology, to show the very process of mental life, to depict the "dialectics of the soul."

Slide 7

Many of you have older or younger brothers and sisters in your family. Relations with them are sometimes very difficult. Sometimes they are wrong about something, sometimes you are, sometimes both sides are stubborn and angry, not wanting to come to an agreement. What feelings and actions of Nikolenka and Volodya in the chapter “Big Brother” (the story “Boyhood”) seemed to you the closest, most familiar and understandable?

Slide 8

Have you yourself overcome feelings of envy, anger, irritation in relationships with older or younger brothers and sisters? Why do you think Volodya (senior) at the end of the chapter asks for forgiveness from Nikolenka (younger), moreover, “in the simplest, not at all pathetic voice”?

Slide 9

What impression does the elder brother's act make on Nikolenka? Why is he crying again? Try to explain the meaning of the phrase: “Volodya looked at me, but as if he didn’t understand why I had tears in my eyes ...”.

slide 10

Volodya is older, and he understands the feelings of his brother, since he himself was recently like that. He loves his brother simply because it is his brother, and sets an example for him with his sincere act. At the same time, Volodya is still somewhat different from Nikolenka. He does not perceive the world so tragically and does not see in every act, his own and someone else's, such a drama that Nikolenka sees and feels. Maybe he is deprived of such depth of introspection (Tolstoy writes about this at the beginning of the chapter "Big Brother"). We quarreled over nonsense, the younger brother was offended, does not know how to approach you, suffers, which means that we must first reach out to him, make peace. It's an everyday thing, it can happen every day. For Nikolenka, this event is a whole tragedy: “... everything is over between us”, “we quarreled forever”, “I felt guilty, I was afraid to look at him and couldn’t do anything all day”, “... I’m scared, embarrassed and ashamed was to be alone with his brother.

When he used to run into the room, he would smile with such a joyful smile, as if he had made a discovery that he wanted to tell everyone about. Liked to joke. He was always gentle, affectionate, compliant; never been rude. If he is caressed, he will shed tears. If his brothers offend him, he will go somewhere far away and cry.” But with the brothers they lived together all their lives, ”the sister recalled. But, despite his tearfulness and vulnerability, he still sometimes did rather desperate tricks: he would rub his eyebrows with gunpowder and set them on fire, because of which they would subsequently grow uneven and shaggy, then he would jump out of the window in the belief that he could fly .

He believed that everything in teaching should be individual - both the teacher and the student, and their mutual relationship. In the Yasnaya Polyana school, the children sat where they wanted, for as long as they wanted, and for as long as they wanted. There was no specific curriculum. The teacher's only job was to keep the class interested. The classes were conducted by Tolstoy himself with the help of several permanent teachers and several random ones, from the closest acquaintances and visitors. He published the pedagogical journal Yasnaya Polyana in 1862 and wrote instructive tales and stories for children.

“It is impossible to convey with sufficient fullness that cheerful and attractive mood that constantly reigned in Yasnaya Polyana (1862-1878). His source was always Lev Nikolaevich. In a conversation about abstract questions, about the upbringing of children, about external events his judgment was the most interesting. In a game of croquet, in a walk, he enlivened everyone with his humor and participation, sincerely interested in the game and the walk. There was no such simple thought and the simplest action that Lev Nikolayevich was not able to give interest and arouse a good and cheerful attitude towards them in those around him ... ”, Bers recalled. “Count L. N. Tolstoy did not like to part with his family even for a single day, he always complained about urgent trips and was in a hurry to return home as soon as possible.” For 17 years of marriage, they had 13 children.

Lev Nikolayevich walked quickly, with long strides, and stepped softly.
Ilya Vasilyevich Sidorkov said that when he entered the Tolstoys (in 1893), Lev Nikolayevich kept himself upright and walked quickly. - “When he leaves, you want to give him a coat - there were two of us then - he will quickly grab it from the hanger, put it on his shoulder or put it on himself, not allowing himself to serve, and leaves. And towards the slope of life he became hunched, small.

Slide 33

In Lev Nikolaevich there was a very strong sense of the life of all living things and a sense of nature. He loved every change in nature - the onset of autumn, and especially spring. He shared his impressions and observations with everyone around. He was pleased with the swelling of the buds on the trees, their unfolding, heading and pouring rye, etc. As soon as something begins to bloom, he will pick and bring into the house - honeydews, hazel, etc. He loved to pick flowers, even tore them on horseback, bending down from the horse. He will bring a bouquet, admire its beauty and smell, put it on his desk or in the hall, sometimes give it to someone. Bouquets on his desktops were not translated. Sofia Andreyevna also remembered this. He loved wild flowers (especially cornflowers) more than garden flowers, and from garden flowers he especially loved sweet peas; it was planted in flowerbeds and on the ridges near the house by Sofya Andreevna, a great lover of indoor flowers. Lev Nikolayevich himself planted and watered oranges in his room. In Yasnaya Polyana there is a winter colored greenhouse on the site of an old large greenhouse that used to be located here.

slide 34

For Lev Nikolaevich, not a single person with whom he entered into communication, not a single thing that he did seemed insignificant, he did everything seriously, with the strain of his spiritual strength: he thought deeply, listened attentively when necessary - they spoke when necessary - kept silent (being careful not to speak empty words), made the best use of the time for work, and tried to do every task that was given to himself as conscientiously and accurately as possible. When he was sick, he tried not to be a burden to others and patiently endure suffering. Lev Nikolayevich's usual tone was calm; there was no chagrin, no irritation, no discontent, no reproach in him, and in his work he was calm, neither fussy nor slow. Lev Nikolayevich knew how to listen very well; Lev Nikolaevich, speaking, did not wince, did not show displeasure in his face and did not gesticulate with his hands. He very rarely made a sign of denial with his head, slowly shaking it to the right and left. In general, he did nothing excitedly, but in everything he kept himself calm, sedate.
