Vitaliy Valentinovich Bianchi is a famous naturalist writer. He was one of those who stood at the origins of Soviet children's literature. The appearance of the popular science genre in it is a great merit of Bianchi. "Forest newspaper", the main characters of which are not only people, but also plants of animals, birds, is the most famous work of the writer. It has been in the circle of children's reading for more than fifty years.
How was work on the work
Vitaly Bianchi wrote the stories "Forest Newspaper" for thirty years. The work was improved from publication to publication - the information about nature presented there was updated, the number of headings of this peculiar "newspaper" increased. In addition, the geography of the country's regions expanded, the nature of which was described in the stories. Children learn about nature in the hot climatic zone of Russia, beyond the Arctic Circle and in the middle lane.
Updating the actual material was made possible thanks to the tremendous work that the writer did. He traveled a lot around the country, personally conducted research himself, wrote down the results of his observations. To write stories, V.V. Bianchi used information about the latest achievements relating to different aspects of human life and its surrounding nature. For this, the writer constantly studied the work of leading scientists of the country. He was a highly erudite person, able to present scientific information in a language accessible to children.
In 1923, the first articles of Bianchi began to appear in the children's magazine Sparrow. Lesnaya Gazeta, a brief summary of which can be conveyed with the words "news about forest life", was very fond of children and their parents. In 1928, the book came out as an independent publication.
Features of the work
The presentation form in Lesnaya Gazeta was innovative. A similar method of presenting scientific information is used today by those people involved in the field of education and enlightenment of children.
As you know, any newspaper is designed to transmit events taking place in the world. It was on this that the idea of โโVitali Bianchi was based. "Lesnaya Gazeta" - stories that reflect everything that happens in the forest, field, on the river at different times of the year. The heroes of the work were animals, birds, insects, plants, and, of course, humans.
Every issue of this newspaper, like any other, always has the latest news. It publishes announcements, essays by correspondents, editorial articles, letters from hunters and fishers, and even urgent telegrams. All incidents that happened in nature are also covered on the pages of the newspaper. The reader is easily guided in the material, since it is divided into sections, and the names of the issues say a lot.
In total there are twelve issues of the newspaper - by the number of months in a year.
Summary
To bring up love for oneโs Motherland, to show the diversity of its nature, to recall the existence of interconnections in it is the work of Bianchi Lesnaya Gazeta โ.
The summary of the stories included in the numbers is very difficult to convey. This is due to the fact that the stories are small in volume, they contain only the most important information for revealing the topic.
And the ideas that are discussed on the pages of the "Forest newspaper", the most diverse. For example, children will find out if lingonberries can be grown in their garden? What can happen if a hare feeds a cat? How do birds teach their chicks to fly? Why canโt you disturb a bear in winter? And a lot of very interesting and memorable information is received by readers of this unusual publication.
Summer months
In the issues of the newspaper describing the life of nature in June, July and August, readers will learn how to determine when the summer began and ended. This is the time of year that people, animals and plants rejoice. The benefits of the summer months are repeatedly mentioned by Bianchi.
The Lesnaya Gazeta, a brief summary of which is given in the article, announces where the animals feed for themselves and their offspring. What can become food for the inhabitants of reservoirs, forests, steppes and fields.
In addition, there is information revealing the secrets of the construction of "apartments" of all forest, water, steppe, and field residents. I must say that animals are not very interested in how their many neighbors build housing. The most important thing is to know how relatives have built shelters. After all, only in it you can truly feel safe.
The Newspaper talks a lot about the most hardworking representatives of the wild. These, of course, include bees, bumblebees and other insects that help pollinate plants.
Man in the summer also does not stop working. He needs to try to grow and collect a good harvest of grain, vegetables and fruits. The reader will also learn how this is done.
Winter months
Many amazing stories can tell the newspaper to its readers. But itโs especially interesting to know how animals endure the harsh winter. This is what Vitaly Bianchi says.
Lesnaya Gazeta, a brief summary of which is presented in the article, introduces birds to an unusual way of life. The writer says that for them "laws are not written." It turns out that, contrary to all laws, crossbred displays its offspring in the midst of winter frosts. A dipper is a bird that can not only fly, but dive and run along the bottom of a reservoir.
Despite the fierce cold, winter life is also full of stories and incidents. Unusual behavior can be distinguished by a bear, field mice, hares and many other animals. And each of the plants also has its own winter history.
Literary heritage
During his creative life, which lasted more than 25 years, the writer created about 300 stories, tales, stories for children. Several generations of true readers have grown on these works. And today, on the shelves of libraries you can find collections and individual editions of books created by Vitaly Valentinovich Bianchi.
Lesnaya Gazeta has not lost its relevance so far. And is one of the most sought-after works of the writer. During its existence, it was reprinted seven times and was released in million copies.
