What is adventure literature. World of Adventure Literature

one of the types fiction, prose, the main content of which is a fascinating, exciting story about real or fictional events. The signs of adventure literature are a dynamic plot, the sharpness of situations, the intensity of emotions, the motives of mystery, abduction, persecution, crime, travel, etc. Within adventure literature, several stable genres can be distinguished, differing in two ways: in what setting the action takes place and what is the main plot content. So, adventure literature includes detective stories, the main content of which is the investigation of a crime. E. Poe, A. K. Doyle, A. Christie and others were masters of detective stories. Often the author creates detective novels and stories with one through character - a professional or amateur detective (Father Brown in G. K. Chesterton, Sherlock Holmes in Conan Doyle, Hercule Poirot at Christie's, etc.). The reader's interest is maintained by trying to find the criminal, whose name is usually found out at the very end. fantastic adventure literature talks about fictional creatures, their adventures, or fictional events that happen to people. Action fantastic works can be transferred to other planets, to the past or future of the Earth; aliens, fabulous creatures, etc. operate in them. Notable authors fiction - G. Wells, R. Bradbury, S. Lem, K. Bulychev, A. and B. Strugatsky. The amusement of fantasy adventure literature is based on the depiction of unusual creatures and mechanisms, as well as extraordinary events that happen to them. Historical adventure literature tells about some era remote from the author and the reader, trying to restore the details of life and furnishings as accurately as possible. V. Scott, A. Dumas père, V. Hugo worked in this genre. IN historical novels usually fictitious protagonists act, and real historical figures are episodic heroes (for example, the main characters of the novel The Three Musketeers - Athos, Porthos, Aramis and d'Artagnan - are fictional by the author, but Cardinal Richelieu, the king and queen of France are real). Also, the amusement of adventure literature can be associated with the exoticism of various peoples and tribes, nature different countries- such are the novels of F. Cooper, J. London, R. L. Stevenson, J. Verne, T. M. Reed, J. Conrad, G. R. Haggard. The author can depict life side by side with such tribes (like T. M. Reed, who describes life in the USA and introduces Indians into his works). The leading motive in such works may be the motive of travel, as, for example, in G. R. Haggard.

Along with the selected types of adventure literature, there are works that do not belong to any of these groups, but nevertheless belong to adventure literature due to their amusing and exciting plot (for example, A.P. Gaidar's stories about the adventures of teenagers or M. Twain about Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn).

In Russian literature, A. S. Grin worked in the genre of adventure literature (“ Scarlet Sails”), V. A. Kaverin (“Two Captains”), A. N. Tolstoy (“Aelita”, “Engineer Garin’s Hyperboloid”), A. P. Gaidar (“Timur and his team”, “R.V. S.", "Chuk and Gek"), A. R. Belyaev ("Professor Dowell's Head"), V. P. Kataev ("The lonely sail turns white"), the Vainer brothers ("The Era of Mercy"), etc.

“Adventure literature” includes those works that are characterized by adventure themes, the dynamics and severity of plot twists and turns, and the intensity of the action. There is another concept that is associated with this type of work - this is adventurous literature.

What is adventure literature

First of all, it is worth mentioning the origins of adventure literature. Already in ancient Greek novels, there are elements of this genre - travel, shipwrecks, captivity and attacks by pirates, storms at sea and various obstacles.

Elements of chivalric and gothic novels are inherent in adventure literature. IN early XIX century, the world that was known to people before that began to change rapidly and this led to the emergence of adventure literature.

Shipbuilding and navigation developed, many distant countries became more accessible and it became possible to describe them. A very great influence on the development of such literature was the study by Europeans of the countries of colonization. It has become famous adventure literature motifs and ideas for new, more adventurous novels.

One of the first adventure novels is R. Kipling's The Jungle Book, which was written in 1894-1895. Other writers began to use elements of adventurous literature in their works of a different genre.

A striking example of this is the novel by A. Dumas "The Three Musketeers" - a journey for the queen's pendants in England can be called an exciting adventure element.

Heroes living by standards of honor

Heroes of adventure novels are very special. The main qualities of their character are honesty and courage, devotion to their ideals and the ability to take decisive action. They are unshakable and know how to cope with their fear.

Since the issue of confrontation between good and evil is often raised in adventure novels, the main characters are on the side of good and defend justice and protect the weak. Often the main characters are pronounced adventurers, but this is not a necessary condition for an adventure novel.

They fight for the highest ideals - for freedom and equality, for their own honor and for the honor of other people. Honor is extremely important for such heroes, they really live according to such a law, and teach us to be more courageous and fair. Heroes living by the standards of honor are the many-sided and courageous heroes of the novels by Jules Verne, the heroes of the works of Stevenson and Dumas.

What makes a book and its characters immortal

The world of adventure novels is so interesting and rich that it attracts the attention of both adults and children. For many who read such books in childhood, the adventures in it and its brave heroes are remembered for a lifetime.

Incredible journeys, constant overcoming of obstacles, courage and fearlessness of the main characters - all this not only delights, but also teaches us to look at the world more broadly.

There are many works in literature that have already been recognized as immortal, since many years have passed since the day they were written, but they are still popular and delight every subsequent generation.

I can't help but say a few words about fantasy. Actually, science fiction is not a genre, but a concept that includes such genres as science fiction, fantasy is its Native sister, mysticism and even fairy tales, myths, sagas ....
Pushkin and Gogol, Saltykov-Shchedrin and Dostoevsky, Alexei Tolstoy and Bulgakov gave the best examples of Russian science fiction, in particular. Remember the story of A. S. Pushkin “A secluded house on Vasilyevsky”, and “ Queen of Spades"Isn't that fantastic? Remember Lermontov's "Shtoss", the story of A. K. Tolstoy "Amen" and A. N. Tolstoy "Count Cagliostro", I. S. Turgenev "Ghosts", A. P. Chekhov "The Black Monk", Bryusov, Kuprin, Grin , Platonov, Zozulya ... The list is endless ...
Arkady Strugatsky said: "FANTASTIC IS THE FOREMOTHER OF ALL TYPES OF LITERATURE"
I fully agree with our great writer and, without fear of any accusations of being too categorical, I follow him in saying that world science fiction is the foremother and contemporary of all types of literature. Probably, for many, what has been said will be a kind of revelation. Previously (yes, probably even now), science fiction was considered, perhaps, and is considered, a frivolous genre. A kind of "poor relative" in the backyard of literature, light reading for people who don't really like to strain their brains.
I want to be honest: I prefer science fiction to all types of science fiction. Perhaps someone considers the sf genre boring, teeming with technical details, "mired" in scientific terms, without the beloved by young people, and not only by young people, action. And someone, perhaps, even considers it an endangered genre... Believe me, you are wrong. And rumors of death are greatly exaggerated.
NF did not appear out of nowhere; elements can be found in Greek mythology(the myth of Daedalus and Icarus). But he was the first to write what later became known as " Science fiction" Jules Verne. And his younger contemporary Wells showed that science fiction can be not only informative and entertaining reading material, but also serious, “big” literature. Usually, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who left us a vast literary legacy, including several sf works, the most famous of which is The Lost World.
A phrase from a critical review: “I didn’t like one thing. The story is written according to the classical canons of the National Philosophy” (!).
What can you say? Sadly!
More than once I have heard (and not only heard, but also read) that science fiction is literature, or rather, under-literature, which crooks write for the weak-minded on the topic "you fly my rocket."
"I do not believe! Why does he scare me?" - Someone yells, having hardly overcome the "Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin". And at that moment, over his head, two hundred kilometers away, dead and vigilantly, shining unbearably in the sun, a fighter satellite armed with a deadly laser and stuffed with nuclear explosives glides. "I do not believe! I don't want to live in this future!" - he is tearing himself up, having overcome several chapters of the Andromeda Nebula. "Don't ve ..." - he begins, scrolling diagonally " Shagreen leather”, But he immediately catches himself: he was taught at school that Balzac is a great writer.
“Fiction is literature for children and youth, designed to tell in an exciting way about the prospects for the development of science and technology, and most importantly, to play an educational and patriotic role.” Modern NF is distinguished by a large “degree of freedom”. Authors working in this genre are willing to experiment, combine, look for new forms. Sometimes it turns out better, sometimes worse, sometimes the authors themselves cannot decide on genre affiliation their creations. It is quite likely that the result will be (or has already been?) an entirely new kind of fiction that has yet to be named, and for which the future lies.

So what is adventure fiction? Does the legacy of Jack London, for example, apply to it? (by the way, my favorite writer). A similar question is raised by "Don Quixote", "Robinson Crusoe", "Gulliver's Travels". Not only individual works, but entire genres are arguing for their right to be called adventure literature.

"By modern concepts, adventure literature is a combination of several prose genres that give priority to action over character, chance over the everyday course of life, and dynamics over descriptiveness.

It is customary to refer to adventure literature as detective, travel novel, science fiction, adventurous (actually adventure) novel. From "serious" literature, adventure differs in the type of conflict, which is especially "conflict" here. Often exaggerate the dignity of the hero, as well as the significance and "size" of his actions (feat).

Too often adventure fiction is populated by simpletons whose naive reasoning sets off the insight of intellectuals (Porthos or Dr. Watson as a favorable backdrop for d'Artagnan and Sherlock Holmes).

Yes, the adventure is a game, but it is also a drama, because its hero is invariably tested - and moreover, by genuine danger, and not by a trained situation. The response of the reader is a great emotional and intellectual tension. After all, the adventure game fights are fought on the very edge of the abyss. The hero usually overcomes all obstacles and everything, as a rule, ends with a happy ending, but in principle happy ending he is not guaranteed adventures.

The works of the first adventure wave are identified with serious literature: Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Adventures, novels by Walter Scott and Fielding. Dumas, Poe, Jules Verne, Stevenson, Conan Doyle - these are the authors of the second "wave", under whose pen adventure literature takes on a modern look.

In fact, the line between adventure and "serious" literature is very arbitrary. Some works of the year before last, the past, and current centuries have, as it were, dual citizenship, belonging simultaneously to one and the other. Remember at least "Robinson Crusoe" or V. Bogomolov's novel "The Moment of Truth".

Among the most important representatives of Soviet, Russian adventure literature are A. Tolstoy and A. Green, V. Kataev and V. Kaverin, A. Belyaev and I. Efremov, br. Strugatsky, A. Rybakov, Yu. Semyonov and A. Adamov. Their best adventure works are included in the golden fund of youth reading and are regularly published under the title of adventure publications.

Foreign adventure literature only of the 20th century can boast of such notable names as Sabatini with his novels about Captain Blood, science fiction writers Bradbury, Asimov, Sheckley, detectives John Dixon Kar, Christie, Simeon and others.

Adventure seems to be frivolous, carefree. But behind this mask is an urgent concern: (maybe it will seem too pretentious to someone) to establish in the mind of the reader a high moral ideal. Adventure literature, no matter how paradoxical such a statement may sound, is instructive, instructive, educative.

Young authors often ask: “Where is this “educating” moment in my story (story, novel), if I don’t put much meaning into my opus, but simply describe invented or heard adventures somewhere?” Meaning, which means "educating moment" in such works is always present. The author often does not realize it himself. Remember how, after reading a book or watching a movie, you suddenly want to become at least a little like the main character or heroes - to become as strong, courageous, noble ...

I can't help but say a few words about fantasy. Actually, fantasy is not a genre, but a concept that includes such genres as science fiction, fantasy - its sister, mysticism and even fairy tales, myths, sagas ....

Pushkin and Gogol, Saltykov-Shchedrin and Dostoevsky, Alexei Tolstoy and Bulgakov gave the best examples of Russian science fiction, in particular. Remember the story of A. S.

Turgenev "Ghosts", A. P. Chekhov "The Black Monk", Bryusov, Kuprin, Grin , Platonov, Zozulya ... The list is endless ...

Suggested answers.

"Treasure Island"

Robert Louis Stevenson was born in 1850 in the main city of Scotland - Edinburgh. He was the only child in the family. Robert Lewis Stevenson was a lawyer by training, suffered all his life incurable disease bronchial tubes and was often bedridden. His father, Thomas Stevenson, a naval engineer, loved stories about travel, distant lands, and pirates. May be, professional pursuits- the construction of lighthouses - set it up in this way. Sitting at the bedside of his sick son, the father talked about the brave sea robbers, desperate voyages, buried treasures.

Slide. R.L. Stevenson "Treasure Island"

This happened in the summer of 1881. Entertaining his stepson (entry in a notebook: a stepson is a step-son of one of the spouses who is related to the other), who came home for the holidays, Stevenson drew a map of the island and painted it with paints. The card came out amazing! Spyglass Hill, Skeleton Island were marked on it, bays and bays were drawn. Stevenson was generally very fond of maps, "for their content and for the fact that they are not boring to read." And looking at the painted island, he suddenly saw: a blue sky, a ship under white sails, dark green forests and treasures!

"This should be a book for boys," the writer announced to his family. After that, old Mr. Thomas Stevenson, the writer's father, spent a whole day making an inventory of the items that were kept in the chest of Billy Bones. And in this inventory, Robert Lewis did not change anything. The old naval engineer also suggested a barrel of apples. The very barrel, which later came in handy, because it was sitting in it that Jim Hawkins learned about the insidious plans of the pirates.

The book was published in 1883 and since then it has been read by more than one generation of readers.

Slide. R.L. Stevenson "Treasure Island". Jim Hawkins.

But Jim lived in a village somewhere in the middle of nowhere, was in a tavern something like an errand boy. He was even a little cowardly at first. The most simple, ordinary boy. And suddenly such - albeit terrible and dangerous - but such dizzying adventures fall to his lot, replacing each other at a frantic pace. Blind Pew's stick clatters terribly along the icy road... Jim sits in a barrel of apples and hears the terrible name of Captain Flint... The parrot's hoarse cry "Piastres, piastres, piastres!"... Pirates recognize the skeleton scorched by the sun: "Eh, yes It's Allardyce, blast me with thunder!"

And right before our eyes, Jim is changing.

What does he become?

Suggested answers.

He becomes dexterous, courageous and resourceful, and even - even if for an hour - the captain of the Hispaniola.

The book is built according to all the rules of the adventure genre.

Guys, please prove that this story is built according to all the rules of the adventure genre.

Suggested answers.

In the center of the plot is a riddle that the hero of the book, Misha Polyakov, must unravel, unravel with his true friends Genka and Slavka. This mystery is embodied in an old dagger, which, under strange circumstances, ended up with the commissar Polevoy during the sinking of the battleship Empress Maria. Then the commissar presented the dagger to Misha. Inside the handle of the dagger is a cipher, the key to which is in the sheath of this mysterious weapon, and the white officer, the alleged culprit of the death of the battleship, the leader of the gang Nikitsky, took possession of the sheath.

And, as it should be in adventure book, the paths of the owner of the dagger and the owner of the sheath miraculously intersect: surveillance, vague guesses - one mysterious event entails another.

Who are the main characters in the story?

Suggested answers.

resolute Misha Polyakov,
delicate and all questioning Glory,
hot and chatty Genka;
the fact that the three friends found out about the existence of the secret of the dagger is an accident.
the heroes of A. Rybakov are courageous

And masculinity is not only courage, it is also a sense of responsibility for what is happening, the ability to find the right solution to the moral problems that fill the life of every person, big and small.

and at the same time, Misha, Genka and Slava are not a bunch of virtues, but ordinary boys - they are not averse to fooling around, evading an unpleasant and boring business. But pay attention to how, risking his life, Misha throws himself at the feet of a bandit in order to save Commissar Polevoy, or how patiently and delicately he braves the homeless child Korovin from homeless life. These are truly courageous acts.

Descriptions of historical events, geographical discoveries (both as a background for the development of the action), shipwrecks, fights, clashes with pirates and other robbers, floods, earthquakes, etc., that is, what we call extreme situations.

Unraveling the cipher, searching for a treasure, any other complete mystery of the situation.
