"Nils's wonderful journey with the wild geese." The Wonderful Journey of Nils with the Wild Geese (rev. I

One Sunday, father and mother gathered for a fair in a nearby
village.
- Look, not a single step from the house! - he said. - Open the textbook and take it
for the mind Do you hear?...
Nils sighed heavily and sat down at the table...
But as soon as he looked at the book, he immediately began to feel sleepy. His eyes closed on their own, and it ended with Nils falling sound asleep... He was awakened by some rustling...
Nils couldn't believe his eyes. There was a little man sitting on the edge of the chest.

With soft, silent steps the fox Smirra approached the lake...
He approached the flock so quietly, so carefully that not a single goose
heard the enemy approaching. But old Akka heard. Her sharp cry echoed over the lake, woke up the geese, and lifted the entire flock into the air.
And yet Smirre managed to grab one goose...
The fox rushed towards the forest - Nils followed him.
- Now let go of the goose! Do you hear? - Nils shouted.
- Oh, is this your goose? All the better. You can watch me eat it. I do it smartly!
...Nils rushed forward. He grabbed the fox's tail with both hands and pulled as hard as he could.
Out of surprise, Smirre released the goose.

Nils did not search for poor Tirle for long...
In the very thick of the bushes he saw a gray ball of fur with a sparse, like
panicle, tail. It was Tirle...
“Climb onto my shoulders,” Nils commanded.
- I'm afraid! I'll fall! - Tirle squeaked.
- Yes, you’ve already fallen, there’s nowhere else to fall! Climb quickly! Tirle carefully
He tore one paw off the branch and grabbed Nils’ shoulder. Then he grabbed onto it with his second paw and finally... completely moved onto
back to Nils.

One after another, the rats abandoned their prey and ran towards the sound of the pipe. The most
The stubborn ones never wanted to leave - greedily and quickly they gnawed at the large, strong grains. But the pipe called them, she ordered them to leave the castle, and the rats did not dare disobey her...
As soon as the pipe fell silent, the rats moved their mustaches, grinned their mouths,
clicked their teeth. Now they will rush at the little man and tear him to shreds.
But the pipe played again, and the rats again did not dare to move.
When the little man had collected all the rats, he slowly moved towards
gate. And the rats obediently followed him.

The steep slopes of the Coolaberg mountain range rise straight out of the sea...
In the depths of this inaccessible mountain range, invisible and inaccessible to anyone
to one person, there is a platform - so flat, as if someone had cut off the top of a mountain with a giant knife. Once a year, in early spring, all four-legged and feathered creatures come here for the great games of birds and animals...
- Now it’s the cranes’ turn! Now it's the cranes' turn! - swept over
Kulaberg.
And then cranes appeared on the site - large gray birds on long
slender legs, with a flexible neck, with a red crest on a small, chiseled head. With their wings spread wide, the cranes either took off, or, barely touching the ground, quickly circled on one leg. It seemed that it was not birds that were flickering across the site, but gray shadows. Who taught cranes to glide so easily and silently? Maybe the fog spreading over the swamps? Maybe a free wind sweeping over the earth? Or clouds floating in the sky?

In the dead of night, Nils quietly crawled out from under Martin’s wing. He looked around
around and, making sure that no one saw him, quickly walked towards the castle. Nils had important business to attend to. At all costs he must see the owl Flimnea. We need to find out from the owl where the forest gnome lives... Let the gnome demand from him whatever he wants. Nils will do anything to become human again!
Nils wandered around the castle for a long time... He was completely chilled and was about to return, when suddenly he heard someone’s voices...
“Now he’s like silk... But before he was useless,”
one owl spoke in a hoarse, dull voice...
- Will he never turn into a human? - asked the second
owl.
“It’s hard for him to become a man now.” Do you know what is needed for this?
- What? What?
- This is such a terrible secret that I can only tell it to you in your ear...

The marten slid from the tree and, running up to the cliff, looked down.
- That’s right, geese! - she said and quickly began to go down the
cliff.
Smirre watched her every move. “Even though I won’t get anything,” he thought, “I will take revenge on these vagabonds for all my grievances.”
And the marten descended lower and lower. She hung first on one paw, then
on the other, and if there was absolutely nothing to cling to, it slid like a snake along the crevices.

“Look straight ahead,” the raven croaked. - This jug is full of silver.
You have to open it. If you don’t open, we’ll peck out your eyes; if you open, we’ll let you go with honor...
Near the jug lay a strong, sharp, completely gnawed bone.
Nils picked it up. Then he dug a stone out of the ground and got to work. He placed the bone like a chisel between the lid and the neck and began to hit it with a stone. He beat until the bone was almost halfway in. Then Nils grabbed the end that was sticking out with both hands and hung on it instead of a load.

Suddenly Nils opened his mouth in surprise:
- But it’s made of wood!
And it’s true, this man was made of wood from head to toe. And he has a beard
It was wooden, and the nose was wooden, and the eyes were wooden. The wooden man had a wooden hat on his head, a wooden jacket on his shoulders, tied with a wooden belt, wooden stockings and wooden shoes on his feet...
Without thinking twice, Nils jumped up onto his palm, wide as a shovel. The wooden one quickly picked him up and put him under his hat.
And just in time! Bronze was already walking around the corner!

The sea has disappeared. A blank stone wall rose right in front of Nils...
Not far away, between two round towers, Nils saw a gate. Their heavy forged doors were tightly closed. But as soon as Nils came closer, the rusty hinges began to grind, creaked, and the gate slowly opened, as if inviting Nils to enter. And Nils came in...
In front of one shop, Nils stopped and stood rooted to the spot for a long time.
It was a gun shop...
Nils plucked up his courage and slipped into the shop.

The she-bear carefully laid Nils on the ground and, turning her head,
called someone in a gentle voice:
- Murre! Brumme! Come here! I found something here for you...
The she-bear pushed the unfortunate Nils towards her cubs.
Murre was the first to jump up. Without hesitation, he grabbed Nils by the jaw with his teeth.
collar and dragged him into a corner. But Brumme didn’t yawn either. He rushed at his brother to take Nils away from him. Both cubs began to poke each other...
Nils didn’t care whether he was in the clutches of Brumme or Murre. And so, and
so bad. It’s best to get rid of both as quickly as possible.

Luckily for him, the door was open, and Nils slipped unnoticed into the kitchen. Martin was lying on a large table by the window. His paws and wings were tied so tightly that he could not move...
- Martin, are you alive? - he asked, running up to the table.
“He’s still alive,” Martin answered sadly.
- Well, just be patient for a minute, now I’ll free you. Nils grabbed
with his hands and feet the table leg and quickly climbed up.

Nils decided to build himself a real house, with a door, a window and a roof. He broke the reeds and carried them to the lawn with Martin. Then he cut four straight branches from the forest, planed them well and sharpened them at one end. It turned out to be four identical pegs.
Then Nils drew a straight rectangle on the ground and began to drive a peg into each corner...
When all the pegs were in place, Nils began to build walls...
“The house is good,” said Akka, “but the roof is unreliable: it’s also protected from the sun.”
You can’t hide under such a roof, and you can’t hide from the rain. Well, yes, this grief can be helped. Now I’ll deliver the masters to you.
And she flew somewhere.
Soon she returned with a whole flock of swallows... Less than an hour later, the house was covered on all sides with a thick layer of clay.

One day the eagles, having flown out early in the morning, did not arrive at their usual hour.
back to the nest...
Then Akka realized that some kind of trouble had befallen the eagles, and she herself flew to the rock.
From a distance she heard an angry and pitiful cry coming from the eagle's
nests In the nest, among the gnawed bones, old Akka saw a clumsy, ugly chick...
Akka felt sorry for the chick... And she went to look for food for him.
she caught a large trout in the lake and brought it to the chick.

All evening, until late at night, Nils and Fumle-Drumle collected the scattered
the wind brought sheets and sheet after sheet to Lucky. They picked them up on roofs and attics, on tree branches and garden paths, among a garbage dump and in the bell tower of a cathedral. Wherever the raven and the boy looked!

Nils bent down to her and quietly stroked her hard wings. Here
how small she is now next to him!
- Goodbye, Akka! Thank you! - said Nils.
And in response to him, old Akka opened her wings, as if she wanted to say goodbye
hug Nils.
The wild geese screamed above him, and it seemed to Nils that they were hurrying Akka,
they call her to quickly return to the pack...
And here she is again in the sky, again ahead of the flock.
- South! South! - bird voices ring in the air.
Nils looked for a long time after the flying flock.

Hello! Today we present a new drawing lesson, in which we will talk about how to draw a goose. Here we decided to deviate a little from the cartoon style of drawing, in which our artists work quite often (for example, we drew this way), to make it more realistic, but not very difficult.

If the inhabitants of Ancient Rome living in the 5th century BC could read our site, this lesson would probably be one of the most popular - perhaps even more popular. The fact is that in that century Rome was experiencing attacks by Gallic tribes, one of which could have ended very sadly for the inhabitants of the eternal city. The Roman guards of one of the main towers of the fortress wall were sleeping when several Gallic troops made a desperate attempt to climb the tower, kill the guards and penetrate the unprotected city. This would have happened if not for one “but” - the geese from the Temple of Juno, who heard the noise, became worried and began to scream. Their noisy cackling woke up the guards, who dealt with the Gauls - it was this story that gave rise to the expression “the geese saved Rome.”

This is the important character we will draw. Let's start this lesson and learn how to draw a goose with a pencil step by step!

Step 1

First, draw the contours of the torso, neck and head. We use only smooth, rounded lines. Please note - the goose has a small head, it is slightly thicker than the neck.

Step 2

Now let's draw an eye - just a small circle and a beak. The beak consists of two parts - the upper one is more massive than the lower one. It seems that it is longer, but this is an illusion - the lower part begins a little to the right of us than the upper. Here we connect it to the body with a pair of short, smooth lines on the sides of the neck.

Step 3

We draw the wing - it should have one angle (sharp) and smoothly curving contours. We outline the silhouettes of the paws.

Step 4

Let's draw some of the largest feathers of the wing, as well as the claws and contours of the front paw. Let's erase all the extra strokes, outline the remaining contours and clean up the drawing again so that it is more complete.

Unconventional drawing Master class for 3rd grade students: Goose

Purpose: The work can decorate a child's room and will be a good gift or exhibition piece.
Target: creating a drawing "Goose" in mixed media.
Tasks:
learn to draw a goose step by step;
develop drawing skills with wax crayons and gouache paints, creative abilities;
develop horizons and curiosity;
to cultivate aesthetic feelings for beauty, neatness, love for creativity, for native nature, birds and animals.
Materials:
-gouache, brushes, water,
-album sheet, pencil,
-wax pencils,
-frame.

Sample:

The goose is one of the oldest types of poultry, which was domesticated in the 8th century BC. The ancestor of the domestic geese breed is the wild gray goose, unlike which domestic geese have lost the ability to fly. The goose is the pride of every yard.
The reason for the domestication of geese lies in their lifestyle. These birds are herbivores, so they obtain food on their own. The first chicks for domestication were caught or taken from the nest by humans. Geese raised in captivity became attached to their owner.... with their intelligence. Geese tend to be faithful to both their owner and their nesting partner. These qualities of geese were already known in ancient times. The Romans compared these birds with the goddess Juno, the guardian of the family hearth and marital fidelity. Near the temple of the goddess they constantly kept a flock of geese.
It was the geese who woke up the guards at night with their cackling when the enemies attacked Rome. This is where the saying comes from: "Geese
Rome was saved."

In modern farming, there are many breeds of geese. But what they have in common is that they all cannot fly or do it very poorly. Geese are waterfowl and therefore need water. There they look for food for themselves.
Everyone knows a funny song about two geese that lived with their grandmother:
Two merry geese lived with granny,
One is gray, the other is white,
Two cheerful geese.
Breeds: Emdean, Legard, Italian and many others, their plumage is white, their beak and legs are orange, their eyes are blue or black.
Artists painted pictures, poets and writers composed poems and fairy tales, stories, sculptors created monuments.
These are our geese!

In the city of Arzamas there is a monument to a goose.

Kursk writer Evgeny Nosov wrote the story “The White Goose”, where a goose saves its little goslings at the cost of its own life. A monument to the literary character, the family man goose, was unveiled in the city of Kursk.

Progress.

We place the white sheet horizontally. Using a simple pencil, draw an oval in the center of the sheet.

Draw the neck.

We outline the outline of the tail plumage.

Draw the beak and legs.

We take a white wax pencil and shade out all the plumage of the goose, except for the beak and legs. We will paint them with an orange wax pencil.

Visually divide the sheet into two parts. At the bottom there is grass.
Use a green pencil to outline the blades of grass.

Draw clouds in white at the top of the sheet. On the left side we will add a little yellow tone.

We begin to fill the sky with a blue tone of paint.

Paint the bottom of the leaf green.

Dandelions bloom across a green field. Using the poking method, we create yellow and white circles.

For greater expressiveness, outline the outline of the goose with gray paint.

Add a little white to the clouds.

Our "Goose"

A goose has two legs
Beady eyes,
Has its own habits
Walks without looking back
Yes, and not in a hurry.
Homemade sage goose
Thinks, reflects,
He is a brave fighter
It just doesn't fly.
Looks good-natured
But I’m ready for battle,
And he can walk
Following you.
(Borisov T.)

The reason for writing this post was the publication by the Vita Nova publishing house of Selma Lagerlöf’s wonderful book “The Amazing Journey of Nils Holgersson with Wild Geese in Sweden” in 2 volumes with B.A. Diodorov’s favorite illustrations.

This edition has more color illustrations than the 1979 edition.

In 1979 - 59, 2013 - 63.

In addition, in this edition, a tone line illustration is placed on the back of each color illustration. Those. there are also 63 of them, whereas in 1979 there were 17 such illustrations, according to the number of chapters.

The 1979 edition was published in a free retelling by Z. Zadunaiskaya and A. Lyubarskaya, and as I mentioned, it consists of 17 chapters.
The edition of "Vita Nova" includes a complete translation of the epic, owned by the translator and literary critic L.Yu. Brauda (1927-2011). And this, by the way, is 55 chapters!!!
She also prepared an afterword and comments specifically for this book.
Of course, the new edition is absolutely amazing!
I am delighted and delighted!

Let's compare the quality of printing illustrations in the old and new editions:

2013

1979

But the 1979 book is also very dear to me. Moreover, the book was signed for me by the Master - Boris Arkadyevich Diodorov.

Well, the first Soviet edition was published in 1940 in a greatly truncated form.
From an epic, the work simply turned into a fairy tale.
Unfortunately, there are very few illustrations in it.

S. Lagerlöf "The Wonderful Journey of Nils with the Wild Geese."

For comparison, I will cite part of the first chapter from the 1940 and 1979 editions.

So the eighth edition of “Travels..” appeared in my library.
Eight boys and a huge flock of geese now live on my shelves))).

In a Swedish village there lived a boy, Nils, a great prankster and mischief-maker. When he was 12 years old, his father and mother went to the fair, and Nils was ordered to learn his homework.
Nils read a book for a while and fell asleep. And when I woke up I saw an open chest lid and a small gnome. Nils caught the gnome in a net and he began to ask to let him go, promising a gold coin. Nils decided that this was not enough, but suddenly he received a slap on the wrist and dropped the net.
The room suddenly became very large, and he, Nils, became the size of a sparrow.
Nils goes out into the yard and the chickens start nibbling on him. The cat also refused to help him and almost ate him.
At this time, wild geese flew past and invited the domestic geese to come with them to Lapland. Goose Martin was about to fly, Nils clung to him and ended up in the air.
