The Big Book decided to appreciate the contribution of Joan Rowling to literature. Will she come to Russia?

MOSCOW. Joan Rowling may receive the special prize of the Big Book 2016.

The contribution to the literature of the British writer, namely with this wording, Joanne Rowling will receive the diploma and statuette, which are due under the rules, is undeniable. Regardless of the attitude of lovers of philosophical works and intellectual prose to this issue.

The impatience with which each volume of the Harry Potter saga was expected to be released, and the constant excitement on the day sales began, were not dreamed of by any of the contemporary authors. Rowling suggested that adolescents remain themselves, not bending for the sake of a “changeable world." Together with her books, they learn not to give in to problems, to pass moral tests with honor, to be generous, to develop their personality, and to be able to communicate with others.

If we ignore the magical component of the curriculum at the Hogwarts School of Magic, Rowling demonstrated the educational process model that most children dream of. Studying as an exciting game, a daily adventure that makes you wiser and stronger. There is a gradual adaptation to the upcoming adult life. Therefore, fans of the book can not yet come to terms with the transformation of the usual names and titles that appeared in the publication from "Rosman". They do not want to recognize Severus Snape in Zlodius as the Angrier (although, in fairness, in the original he appears as Severus Snape), in Hagrid - Hagrid, in Dumbledur - Dumbledore.

These examples can be juggled ad infinitum. Appear an alternative to potential Potteriana buyers: buy them books about Hogwarts, Muglov, Psihuna and Batilda Zhukpuk or acquire volumes with familiar names that sound in the screen versions — no one would say a word. Statistics would very soon demonstrate the degree of popularity of a particular option. But the former has turned into a bibliographic rarity and does not enter stores. Not everyone accepts the new unconditionally.

It is hard to expect that Rowling’s expected arrival at the award ceremony will clarify this confusion. But listening to the wishes of so many people would be nice.
