A book that has survived times and morals
Automatic translate
Everyone, of course, knows that before becoming literary, i.e. to have a specific author, fairy tales were folk. They were handed down from generation to generation, without losing their significance, because they taught good and justice. This is precisely what is remembered when you take in your hands the work of Lazar Iosifovich Lagin “The Old Man Hottabych”. And again I want to turn over the pages and plunge into childhood when they read this dear to the heart book to the holes. Is it possible to forget her hero Volka - Volodka Kostylkova, the boy who gave freedom to the genie by releasing him from the bottle. How good-naturedly we laughed at the awkwardness of Gassan Abdurahman ibn Hottab, a fabulous gin who, in his own way, sought to reward Volka in his own way for his salvation. As we repeated his spell: “fuck-tibidoch,” secretly hoping - what if it works out.
Many years have passed since the first appearance of this work on the bookshelf. But even now, modern boys and girls are happy to read it and consider it a fairy tale, because it teaches good and justice. And these concepts are relevant at all times.
Having fallen in love with Hottabych, with pleasure reading about his adventures, children unobtrusively learn that gold, wealth and omnipotence are not yet happiness. And with the help of magic you won’t get it.
Years pass, and “Old Man Hottabych” finds more and more of his admirers, and the hero himself, by whose name the book is named, is as symbolic as Pinocchio, Dunno, Malvina.
