What to read about adolescent love. the best books for young people and adolescents according to Time. Are parents always right

Reading is an important process that helps a person develop. The main thing is the quality of the literature that the teenager picks up. It should be fun, but full of meaning works.

Books are friends and mentors

The task of every adult is to instill in their children a love of reading. Through literature one learns the world... What it will look like in the eyes of a child depends largely on the parents. To spark interest in reading, you need to early years teach the correct approach to the choice of works, cultivate good taste.

Each school teacher literature knows children who are happy to read the given material, and those who have not read a single chapter. In the conversations of parents, one can also hear complaints that the children cannot be forced to pick up a book. There are also opposite, but no less disturbing complaints that the offspring eats and sleeps with a book, lives in a fictional world.

As any extremes, both of these situations are alarming. First of all, look at yourself from the outside. After all, children often unconsciously copy the behavior of loved ones. How long have you been picking up the book yourself? And don't you constantly live in a virtual fantasy universe or an illusory world of women's novels?

The love of reading, as well as the reluctance to plunge into the literary sea, comes from childhood. Perhaps the teenager does not want to read, because he was forced to do it and now he associates the book with something unpleasant, almost punishment. After all, everything that happens "out of hand" never brings pleasure to anyone.

Reading develops imagination, teaches you to be smart and find the right way out of difficult life situations. The book can become a friend and advisor, a comforter when it is bad, and give joyful moments. All this needs to be explained to children with examples, unobtrusively recommending something that will be interesting for teenagers. If an adult inadvertently says: “Oh! Class! At your age, I could not tear myself away! I read all night ”, then be sure that your son or daughter will certainly look under the cover.

Just do not make long notations in the style: "I read a lot, and you ..." or "Reading is simply necessary for children ...". With such lectures, you are likely to achieve the opposite effect.

Reading is always relevant

Many teenagers believe that in the age of computers and smartphones, the book is outdated, out of fashion. Read only "nerds". In this case, you can use Nosov's advice. Remember his story "Dunno in the Sun City" describes a literary theater, which was organized by two book lovers? They just read aloud, but no one listened to them until they came across a funny book. Infectious laughter attracted a lot of listeners, and then other, quite serious works came to listen to all the surrounding residents.

Read aloud something from "Harmful Advice" written by Grigory Oster, Zoshchenko's stories or other funny reading. And laugh with your child. Surely he will want to read it himself. When the last page is turned, suggest another funny book, then a third, and then suggest something more serious.

Better to start with stories. O. Henry and "Notes on Sherlock Holmes" will be with a bang. They cannot leave anyone indifferent. If your son or daughter liked a film based on the work of a famous author, play on this interest and invite him to read his other books.

Educators actively argue about whether it is possible to listen to audiobooks or read from a computer. We live in the twenty-first century, so gadgets are inevitable. And between a complete lack of interest in reading and using for it electronic devices it is better to choose the latter.

What is read in 7th grade?

Everyone probably remembers the long lists that literature teachers dictated at the end of the school year so that the students would read it all over the summer. Alas, the works provided by the school curriculum and for extracurricular reading are strikingly different from those books that children like to read in their free time. This is the case not only in our country, but also in almost all countries of the world. Fortunately, our students are not forced to study Homer's Iliad and Odyssey every day for an hour for three years, as they do in Greece.

Classical literature is a necessary component of the outlook of any cultured person. Having looked at the content of the school curriculum for domestic and foreign literature for the seventh grade, we can conclude about the selection of works for the all-round development of schoolchildren. There are historical and adventure novels, serious works with a philosophical meaning, detective stories and stories about love. This is not to mention the recommendations for extracurricular reading.

In the 7th grade, they study Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Krylov, Nekrasov, Turgenev and Leskov. These are mainly comedy works, short stories and poems. Foreign authors: Mark Twain, Edgar Poe, Conan Doyle, Robert Sheckley, Ray Bradbury, O'Henry, Byron, Kipling, romantic works by Maxim Gorky. Not the most boring books!

Listed by extracurricular reading next to the classic "Belkin's Tales" and "Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka" you will find "Ivanhoe" by Walter Scott, "The Headless Horseman" by Mayne Reed and "The Three Musketeers" by A. Dumas. Fans of science fiction - "Amphibian Man" and "Invisible Man", "Aelita", " Mysterious Island", For connoisseurs of the adventure genre -" The Mines of King Solomon "," St. John's Wort "," The Odyssey of Captain Blood "," Two Captains ". For those who love animals - "My Family and Animals" by Gerald Darell and stories by Vitaly Bianchi.

For the most part, schoolchildren's rejection of books given by program is due to three reasons:

• the tastes of children are different, but you have to read everything according to the list;
• adolescents do not always understand what they read, since development is uneven: some have already grown up, some have not;
• in the teenage environment, a stereotype has become established that it is not interesting.

Try to destroy children's misconceptions about Russian and foreign classics. Tell some interesting episode, briefly hint about the twists and turns of the plot, intrigue by turning the content from a modern angle.

What books should teenagers read at their leisure?

But everything that does not concern the school curriculum, as they say, is a matter of taste. And here it can be very different. But there are certain books that are recommended reading for each age. Consider what is best for a boy to read and what will be interesting for a 13-year-old girl.

In adolescence, many are fascinated by science fiction, historical novels, love stories, detective stories for children, adventures.

Often times, parents make the mistake of imposing the books they liked on children on their children. At the same time, they categorically declare that modern literature is not worth attention at all, thereby killing the desire to read. Believe me, there are many wonderful works written for today's teenagers by modern writers.

Here is a small list of books for children studying in 7 class that will be cooler than many games and serials:

• the fantastic series "Chasodei" by Natalya Shcherba made many unread teenagers reading;
• Boris Akunin "Children's Book" - the boy will definitely like it;
• works by R.L. Stein - children's detective stories and horror films for those who like to tickle the nerves;
• Bodo Schaefer "A Dog named Mani" - this story about a talking dog is not only fascinating, but also teaches you how to properly manage money;
• life in a cruel world after a global catastrophe in four novels by Lowry Lois - new "Hunger Games";
• K. Hagerup "Markus and Diana" - a wonderful book about the problems of a shy teenager;
• episode about George - amazing interesting reading from the famous astrophysicist Stephen Hawking about incredible adventures in space and the mysteries of the Galaxy;
• K. Paterson "The Magnificent Gili Hopkins" - a work for a girl about the difficult fate of a peer;
• I. Mytko, A. Zhvalevsky "No harm will be done to you here" - it will definitely make you laugh.

The list can be continued for a long time, every day there are new domestic works and translations of foreign authors that will interest the young reader. The most important thing is that every book you read teaches love and kindness, leaves a mark in the heart, and opens up something new and interesting.

The problem of choosing books at this particular age is connected, in my opinion, with two things. Firstly, with the internal state of an individual child (some grow up quickly and have long been torn, and they can read books by adults, while others have not yet grown out of childhood); secondly, with the inevitable, but painful transition from a complete prohibition to read (watch) anything about an “adult” love to the ability to read (look) about it calmly, not “getting hung up”, that is, in an adult way. It is impossible to rid children of this threshold. Keeping them in blinkers until the appearance of their own children is not very, to put it mildly, reasonable. Just from 14 to 17 years old, you need to somehow be able to transfer adolescents through this reading line, and each child, probably, needs to pave some way into the jungle of purely "adult" books, in which for a hundred years they have stopped. whatsoever to be shy.

Compiling conditional lists of books for this age, I did not try to grasp the immensity. I asked my acquaintances, added their opinion to my memories and tried to build some system, however, not very logical and academic. I had, strictly speaking, one criterion - how loved these books were, "readable". No “rules” (if we read “this” - why don't we read “that” and violate historical justice?) Are not recognized here. If “that” is unreadable for a teenager, that is why we do not read it. At the age of 14 - 15, the task of not scaring away from reading is still urgent, but on the contrary, in every possible way to get excited about this lesson. The list includes only really favorite books, read several times - oddly enough it may seem in some cases.

And one more consideration. An adult philologist, compiling such a list, willy-nilly begins to look around in embarrassment: how is it, they say, will I mention a book that has long been considered rather mediocre, or even does not stand up to any artistic criticism? Am I spoiling the taste of a young reader? This kind of prejudice was not included in this list. The point, in my opinion, is that in childhood and adolescence you need to read a lot, not for the sake of aesthetic pleasure, but for the sake of outlook. Once I read a very apt remark from S. Averintsev: if a person knows only his own time, his narrowly modern circle of concepts, he is a chronological provincial. And if he does not know other countries and customs, he is a geographic provincial (this is my extrapolation). And in order not to be a provincial, you have to read a lot of all kinds of books by the age of 17 - just about life, about "everyday life and customs" different nations and eras.

The books in this list are grouped rather conditionally, and the groups are arranged according to the increasing "adulthood". So, in my opinion, it will be easier to choose. In the course of presenting the texts, I will sometimes allow myself some comments.

Still more "children's" books

A. LindgrenThe super-detective Kalle Blomkvist. Roni is the daughter of a robber. Brothers Lionheart. We are on Saltkroka Island.

The last book is the most "adult" on the list, but, strictly speaking, all this should have been read by the age of 12-13. As, however, and other books in this section. But if a teenager lingered in childhood, did not read everything that followed, then these books will not be annoying with their "small-footedness". They are specifically for teenagers.

V. KrapivinKnee-deep in the grass. The shadow of the caravel. Squire Kashka. White ball of the sailor Wilson. Captain Rumba's briefcase.(And another tale about a poplar shirt - I don't remember the exact name)

Krapivin has written many books, and someone may prefer his "mystical-fantastic" cycles. And most of all I love those of his books, where there is almost (or not at all) fiction, but there are real memories of childhood. The story about Captain Rumba is funny and cheerful - artistically, without straining, and this is not enough for teenagers like vitamins.

R. BradburyDandelion wine.

Just a story about how difficult it is to get out of childhood - even from the point of view of childhood, not adolescence.

Alan MarshallI can jump over puddles.

Everyone suddenly remembered her with love.

R. KiplingPeck from the hills. Awards and fairies.

The history of England should be added to this, or just an encyclopedia, where you can clarify who is who and what is where ...

Cornelia FunkeKing of thieves. Inkheart.

This is already an "arbitrary" part of the list. The fact is that every reader needs (except for masterpieces) a layer of medium books - for a snack, for a break, just so as not to lift weights all the time. And also for the correct understanding of the scale. Those who have been fed only masterpieces since childhood do not know the value of books. Reading constantly texts written for children, you forget some, and still highlight others, although they are not masterpieces. But you can probably replace them with something else, I just came across these.

Lloyd AlexanderCycle of novels about Tharen (Book of three. Black cauldron. Tharen the wanderer, etc.).

History, geography, zoology and more

D. LondonNordic stories. Smok Bellew. Smoke and the Kid.

D. KerwoodTramps of the North(and so on - until you get bored).

Jules Verne Yes, everything that is read, if not already read.

A. Conan DoyleLost World. Brigadier Gerard(and this is already history).

W. ScottIvanhoe. Quentin Dorward.

G. HaggardDaughter of Montezuma. King Solomon's mines.

R. StevensonKidnapped. Ekaterin. Saint Ives(alas, not completed by the author).

R. KiplingKim.

Boys love this very much, if they have the ability to read not the easiest book. You can slip it with a short comment: this is a story about how an English boy became a spy, and even in India. And he was brought up by an old Indian yogi ("O my son, did I not tell you that it is not good to conjure?").

A. DumasCount of Montecristo.

By this time, it would be high time to read the Musketeer's epic. And "Queen Margot", probably, too. But you can't not read it.

S. ForesterThe saga of Captain Hornblower.(three books were published in the "Historical Library for Youth").

The book was written in the twentieth century: the story of an English sailor from midshipman to admiral during the Napoleonic wars. Meticulous, adventurous, reliable, very charming. The hero evokes great sympathy, remaining an ordinary, but very worthy person.

T. HeyerdahlTravel to Kon-Tiki. Aku-aku.

D. HarriottVeterinarian notes and so on.

Autobiographical books, funny and curious, full of everyday details. For lovers of all kinds of living creatures, it is a great consolation.

I. EfremovBaurjed's journey. On the edge of the Oycumene. Stories.

For some reason, even historians do not know these books now. And this is such a help in the history of the ancient world (Egypt, Greece), and in geography (Africa, Mediterranean). And the stories are rather "paleontological" - and also very interesting. This is the early Efremov, there are no (or almost no) seductive ideas - about yoga, the beauty of all kinds of bodies, etc., as in the later "Razor Blade" and "Thais of Athens". And there is no politics, as in "Hour of the Bull" (all this is hardly worth giving to children). On the other hand, it may be interesting and harmless to read The Andromeda Nebula - it is, of course, a very outdated utopia, but it successfully eliminates ignorance in the field of astronomy. Efremov is generally good (in my opinion) precisely as a popularizer of science. He has a documentary story about the paleontological excavations in Mongolia "The Road of the Winds" - very curious.

M. ZagoskinYuri Miloslavsky. Stories.

And I don't like Roslavlev at all.

A.K. Tolstoy"Prince Silver".

We've read it already, and no one really likes him - so, in moderation. And the ghoul stories ("The Ghoul Family" especially) are tempting - but you probably need to read them - for general development.

What girls love

S. BronteJane Eyre.

E. PotterPollyanna(and the second book is about how Pollyanna grows up, although, of course, this is read by the age of 10).

D. WebbsterLong-legged uncle. Sweet foe.

Charming, albeit unpretentious books. And the rarest form - novels in letters, witty and quite sharp-plotting.

A. MontgomeryAnne Shirley of Green Gables.

Nabokov himself undertook to translate ... But the book is weak. There is a wonderful Canadian television movie. And the Japanese cool (they say) cartoon - but I haven't seen it yet.

A. EgorushkinaA real princess and a traveling bridge.

The fantasy is pretty mediocre, and the sequels are quite weak. But girls 12-13 years old are absolutely delighted with her.

M. StewartNine carriages. Moon spinner(and other detectives).

And this reading is already for young ladies of 14-16 years old. Also very beloved, informative and, it seems, harmless. English life after the war, Europe (Greece, France), marvelous landscapes and always love. M. Stewart's detectives are average, but good quality. Here is the story of Arthur and Merlin - a masterpiece, but about him in another section.

I. Ilf, E. PetrovTwelve Chairs. Golden calf.

L. SolovievThe story of Khoja Nasreddin.

The text is charming and mischievous. Perhaps the most suitable one to get used to adult conversations "about life" without unnecessary agony.

V. LipatovCountry detective. Gray mouse. The tale of the director Pronchatov. Even before the war.

V. AstafievTheft. Last bow.

"Theft" is a very scary story about an orphanage in the Arctic Circle, where children of exiled and already dead parents survive - an antidote to Soviet utopias.

V. Bykov

The dead don't hurt. Obelisk. His battalion.

E. KazakevichStar.

And a very interesting book "House on the Square" - about the Soviet commandant in a German occupied town, but this, of course, is socialist realism with all its slyness. I don't know any more lyrical prose about the war. Is that "Be healthy, schoolboy" by B. Okudzhava?

N. DumbadzeMe, grandmother, Iliko and Hilarion.(And the film is even better - with Veriko Anjaparidze it seems). White flags(relatively honest about the exposure of the Soviet system, completely bribed).

Ch. AitmatovWhite steamer.

However, I don’t know ... About the later Aitmatov I will certainly say “no”, but about this, too, I cannot say with confidence that it is worth reading. I only know for sure that children should have some idea of ​​life in Soviet times. It is wrong if there is just a gap and emptiness. Then it will be easy to fill it with all sorts of lies. On the other hand, we knew how to read Soviet books, putting the lies outside the brackets, and the children no longer understand the conventions that are obvious to us.

Memories of education

A. HerzenThe past and thoughts (vols. 1-2).

In childhood, they read with pleasure, precisely during these years.

E. VodovozovaThe story of one childhood.

The book is unique: the memoirs of a graduate of the Smolny Institute, who studied with Ushinsky himself. She writes about both Smolny and her childhood on the estate very impartially (she is generally "sixties"), but cleverly, precisely, authentically. I read it as a child (the edition was very dilapidated), but it was republished five years ago.

V. NabokovOther shores.

A. TsvetaevaMemories.

K. PaustovskyThe story of life.

A. KuprinJuncker. Cadets.

A. MakarenkoPedagogicalpoem.

F. VigdorovaThe road to life. This is my house. Chernigovka.

This is the same Vigdorova who recorded the trial of Brodsky. And the books (this is a trilogy) are written about orphanage created by a student of Makarenko back in the 30s. A lot of interesting details about life, schools and problems of that time. Very easy to read. Soviet is noticeable, but anti-Soviet too.

A. CroninYoung years. Shannon's way(continuation).

And you can probably "Citadel". "Young Years" is a very nice book, however, there all sorts of problems with faith arise. The poor child grew up as an Irish Catholic surrounded by English Protestants and eventually became a positivist biologist.

D. DarrellMy family and other animals.

A. BrushteinThe road goes into the distance. In the dawn hour. Spring.

The memoirs have a revolutionary accent, in a peculiar way combined with the Jewish view of the Russian-Lithuanian-Polish reality. And it is very interesting, informative and charming. I don’t know how it will be perceived by modern children, but the mass of realities of the early twentieth century was reflected so clearly in few places elsewhere. Is that A. Tsvetaeva - but she rather emphasizes the exclusivity, and not the typical nature of their way.

N. RollechekWooden rosary. The chosen one.

The books are rare and probably seductive. Memories of a girl who was given up by her parents to be raised in an orphanage at a Catholic nunnery. The case takes place in Poland after its separation from Russia, but before the war. The life and customs of the orphanage (and the monastery) are rather unsightly; it seems that they are described truthfully, albeit not impartially. But they show life from a side unknown to us.

N. KalmaChildren of mustard paradise. Verney Rooks. Bookstore in the Place de l'Etoile.

What is called - under the asterisk. The author is a Soviet children's writer who specialized in describing the life of “your peers abroad”. It is very politicized, with class struggle, of course, strikes and demonstrations, but still, to some extent, the realities of a life completely unknown to us are portrayed in good faith. For example, the election of a "president" in an American school or the life of a French orphanage during the war. Or the participation of still teenagers in the French Resistance. It would be nice to read something more reliable - but for some reason, no. Or I don’t know. And these books are hardly easy to get. But the author, for all his Soviet naivety, has some kind of peculiar charm, especially for adolescents. And I loved her, and quite recently one of our children suddenly brought me to show ("The Bookstore") as something treasured and dear.

A. RekemchukBoys.

It is possible earlier, of course; quite a children's story about a music school and a boys' choir. By the way, there is also such author M. Korshunov, he also wrote about the students of the special music school at the conservatory, then about the railway vocational school. Not very serious, but very curious at the appropriate age. I don’t remember any other books of this kind, but there were quite a few of them in Soviet times.

Science fiction and fantasy

A. BelyaevAmphibian Man. Professor Dowell's Head(and everything else - if for some reason it has not yet been read, it is not harmful to children).

A. TolstoyHyperboloid of engineer Garin. Aelita.

The latter is rather strange than interesting. And "Hyperboloid" amazes again with the reliability of pre-war Europe - which we have very little in our books.

H. WellsWar of the Worlds. Green door.

And others are optional. It seems to me that his stories are generally stronger than novels.

S. LemStories about the pilot Pirx. (Magellanic cloud. Return from the stars. Star diaries of Yon the Tikhiy).

Smart stories with good humor. And very sad novels, unusual for that time, with some disturbing lyrics. "Diaries" is a funny book, teenagers appreciate it. And it is impossible to read his later books - this is a complete, eerie and, most importantly, boring darkness.

R. BradburyFahrenheit 451. The Martian Chronicles and Other Stories.

A. and B. StrugatskyPath to Amalthea. Noon XXIIcentury. It's hard to be a god. An attempt to escape. Inhabited island. Monday starts Saturday.

These things are not puzzling. The first two are utopia, very curious and charming, humorous and sad. In my youth, I myself loved the practically forbidden "Inhabited Island" - a deeply anti-Soviet thing. And all the guys love Monday.

G. GarrisonIndomitable planet.

This is a very prolific writer. Boys (even adults) love a lot with him, because he has the fantasy of a physicist and an engineer. That is why he is not very interesting to me. And this is an "ecological" novel, wise in its main idea and charming thanks to the rogue hero.

Now about fantasy or about what preceded it

A. GreenGold chain. Running on the waves. Shining world. The road to nowhere. Fandango.

D.R.R. TolkienLord of the Rings. The Silmarillion.

K. Lewis probably everyone has read the Chronicles of Narnia before. And "The Cosmic Trilogy" or "Divorce" is probably too early to read. I don’t know about "Letters of Balamut" when they should be read.

K. SaymakGoblin Sanctuary.

An amazingly cute book. He never wrote anything like that, although in general the science fiction writer is smooth and pleasant. His stories are better, novels are worse (in my opinion). Is that the "City" ...

Ursula Le GuinWizard of Earthsea(the first 3 books are very strong, then worse).

It's even somehow embarrassing to advertise, but I know: there is a middle-aged generation that missed the appearance of these books, and they are very good. “Space stories”, in my opinion, is still weaker (the Hain cycle), but they are also suitable for adolescents. And here are the texts-studies of family, marriage, psychology of male and female and other difficult things (“ Left hand darkness ") - although they are also disguised as fiction - these are first-class books, but, naturally, more than childish.

Diana W. JonesHaul's walking castle. Air castle. Worlds of Crestomancy. Merlin's conspiracy.

In my opinion, the best book is Castle in the Air. There, humor is based on stylization and wordplay. But in general, this is a childish author, always interesting enough and not serious enough. To make a deep film on it, H. Miyazaki had to add so much ...

M. and S. DyachenkoThe magician of the road. Oberon's word. Evil has no power.

A very decent fantasy for teenagers, written by "adult" authors. What they do for adults is uneven, but serious and interesting. Sometimes too harsh and too outspoken. You shouldn't give them without looking back. And this is just right.

S. LukyanenkoKnights of the Forty Isles.

A book about growing up and moral issues that have to be solved in artificially constructed conditions. The influence of Krapivin and Golding is noticeable. And, as it seems to me, this is enough. It is possible, however, to read more "adult" of his books, but "The Boy and the Darkness", in my opinion, is just not necessary to read, although it seems to be written for children. The author is quite charming, but there is such a mess and confusion in his head ...

M. SemenovaWolfhound.

A very strange mixture folk tales, myths and oriental "practices". Worldview cocktail. An eerie confusion of sophisticated plots. Love for paganism with a hostile misunderstanding of Christianity (and any world religions, probably excluding Buddhism). Skillfully described oriental martial arts. Lots of sensuality. In general, the books are pretty in their own way. True, I got bored by the end of the first (and best) part ...

J. RowlingHarry Potter.

If they want to read it, let them read it. There are many interesting things, a lot of foreigners, but in general, the popularity of these books is as much a mystery as the popularity of Charskaya, so it seems to me. I honestly read it, not so long ago, but I hardly remember it.

Detectives

A. Conan DoyleStories about Sherlock Holmes.

E. PoStories(it is better to read "The Golden Beetle" for a start - it is not so gloomy).

W. CollinsMoonstone.

A little girly reading, but entertaining. The "woman in white" is noticeably worse.

A. ChristieDeath on the Orient Express.

The choice is not mine, but just a familiar young lady who recently left the named age. You have to read something from a famous lady. But I don't like her at all.

G.K. ChestertonTales of Father Brown(and other stories).

He teases, of course, but not repulsive.

M. Cheval and P. ValleuxDeath of the 31st department. And any other novels.

We have rare Scandinavians with a good sense of humor and a sober view of modern civilization. Reading them, of course, is not necessary, but you can - if someone is very fond of detective stories.

Dick FrancisFavorite. Driving force.

Painfully I went through all the other works of this author in search of decent ones. Unfortunately, I didn't remember. The point is, he is a very helpful writer. And I, for example, think that I clearly lacked his books in my youth. Not the detective side, but an amazing attitude to life: courageous, direct, very interested, the opposite of weakness and despondency. And above all else, Francis's novels are an encyclopedia of reality. A person who went through the war (a military pilot), with excitement mastered everything new that he saw in life: computers, and yachts, and the banking system, and tax accounting, and glass blowing, and a photograph, and ... it turned out his wife - she just knew how to write better. In general, for the outlook and the formation of attitudes, the author is amazing, but not even trying to be "decent". Well, adult author, what can you do here?

A. HaleyAn airport. Wheels. Hotel. Final diagnosis.

Almost the same story, only the books are many times weaker: there is no accurate and deep depiction of characters. But there is knowledge about reality (a kind of natural school), which is so lacking in youth. By the way, he is "more decent" than Francis in details.

Great novels and serious stories (short stories)

V. HugoLes Miserables. Notre Dame Cathedral.

The rest is inspired. At the age of 14, she loved Les Miserables passionately. And later you won't read them like that seriously. I liked the "Cathedral" less, but this is a personal matter, and you need to know it first of all.

C. DickensOliver Twist. David Copperfield. Cold house. Martin Chuzzlewit. Our mutual friend. Dombey and son(and so on. All names are inaccurate, because he always has them twisted).

In general, I have been reading Dickens class since the second. Most of all I loved "David Copperfield" - in the fourth grade. Later - "Bleak House", but here, too, everyone has their own preferences. Usually, once you get a taste for Dickens, you won't come off. Martin Chuzzlewit is a heavy, evil book (as far as Dickens knows how to be evil), anti-American, by the way. I liked Dombey and Son, perhaps less than others. But there is a radio play with Maria Babanova as Florence, with a wonderful song about the sea. Radio books are all the rage these days - so maybe there is an opportunity to track down this long-standing production? Highly worthy option... And there are English films: Great Expectations and the old musical Oliver! - absolutely marvelous. I haven't seen a new film, but American David - well, someone might like it, it's nothing, only very short. We also read Thackeray's Vanity Fair - but that's for Anglomaniacs.

D. AustinPride and Prejudice.

It would be my will, I would make Austin reread the whole - to add intelligence. But, unfortunately, children do not understand this subtle and derisive analysis. They expect from her passions in the spirit of S. Brontë, and here is a cold irony. But you can wait with that.

G. SenkevichFlood. With fire and sword. Crusaders.

Most reading at that age. Romantic, militant, charming, emotional ... Not that very deep, but adds horizons.

D. GalsworthyThe Forsyte Saga.

Maybe a graduate speaks in me English school, who read it without fail, but for some reason it was this "average" book that gave something like a coordinate system to navigate at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries and beyond - before the Second World War. The feeling of time as a change of styles - that's what it can give, in my opinion. Popular, superficial, but very reliable bindings to start with. V recent times I am faced with the fact that children do not distinguish between the 19th and 20th centuries, do not feel the difference between pre-war and post-war culture. This is a serious problem, and it seems to me that we need to spread straws here. At that time we had a completely different story, and her style was different.

T. MannBuddenbrooks.

I didn’t read this at school, but if I got caught, I’d probably really like it. A book that pretends to be sedate and solid, but in fact rests on such a young and desperate nerve. Gloomy, however, towards the end, like an angry hunted teenager. Mann also has a rather light piece called Royal Highness. The rest is no longer for children.

R. PilcherShell seekers. Homecoming. September. Christmas Eve.

Charming everyday books (women's prose). England during the Second War - we knew too little about that, by the way. And quite modern (that is, 1980s) England. And we don't know much about this either. In the last book there is a kind of parish utopia, however, something there will be strange for us. It is easy to read, the girls will probably like it more. It was published in our country quite recently in the series "By the Fireplace" (such checkered volumes, they are most often exhibited in sentimental sections, sometimes in modern prose: the books are quite serious).

Less weighty texts now

Alain FournierBig Moln.

Such a young, sad, nagging, romantic fairy tale.

Harper LeeTo Kill a Mockingbird.

Everyone loves her, I do not, but this is not an argument. Children can fall in love.

S. LagerlöfThe saga of Jost Berling.

She is in her own way no worse than Niels with wild geese. And creepy, and beautiful, and very curious. We never imagined such Scandinavia.

R. RollandCola Bruignon.

In contrast to any modern decadence. And, by the way, for the habit of adult frankness: here it is stylized under the common rude frankness.

L. FrankDisciples of Jesus.

Germany after the war. Justice restoration, boys - Robin Hoods and all sorts of serious problems. The book is more than average (and even translated not so hot), but I'm all about my own: our outlook, outlook ... And it is easy to read, the plot is dashing.

W. GoldingLord of the Flies.

It is imperative to slip it - at least as a vaccination against brutalization.

D. SalingerOver Abyss in the Rye. Stories.

Last on the list, because it shocks many. If the child is still very small, it is better to hold it, it seems to me, for a year or two. But it is obligatory to read, of course.

Books "beyond the bounds"

E. RemarqueThree comrades. Quiet on the western front.

In essence, very young books. But some are shocked by the abundance of alcohol and so on.

E. HemingwayBye weapons! Stories.

The stories are better, I think. Yes, everything can be read.

G. BöllA house without a master.

All the rest is not for children, of course. And with this you can start. Also, "Billiards at half past nine", I think, will pass without a serious shock.

M. MitchellGone With the Wind.

On the one hand, who else will tell us about this war? On the other - well, not childish details, of course ... On the third - not a very charming heroine (especially for readers of this age), it will be, perhaps, boring ... But the movie is even more boring.

T. Wilder

Theophilus North. Day eight. Ides of March.

Yes, everything can be read from him. But "Theophilus" is so charming and likable that you cannot tear yourself away from it. Otherwise, there are many mental schemes that are not so easy to deal with (and you don't always want to agree). And so - a great writer something.

I. VoReturn to Brycehead.

I don’t know of a single book where student life was so nostalgic and detailed. Then, however, the question arises, where does the hypocrisy and rebellion against it lead ... But this is also a problematic for adolescents.

M. StewartCrystal grotto. Hollow hills. The last magic.

The story of Merlin and through him - Arthur. The books are magnificent, the reconstruction is historically very elaborate, reliable - how reliable is our knowledge of these times. And traces of Roman life in good old England ... And a visit to Byzantium ... And a guide to various cults in the era when there was a mash of beliefs everywhere ... And what landscapes she has ... And what a charming storyteller Merlin ... In general, try not to fall in love. True, the third book is already weaker, and the attempts to continue are even paler.

G.L. OldieOdysseus, son of Laertes.

If someone else does not know: this is not an Englishman, these are two Russian-speaking authors from Kharkov (Gromov and Ladyzhensky). They write fantasy and such novels, reconstructions of myths. They write very high quality and very unusual, unexpected. If a legitimate doubt arises (why do we need a reconstruction when there is an "Odyssey"?), You should take a book, open the first page of the text: "Do not compare life with death, a song with crying, inhalation with exhalation and a person with a deity - otherwise you will be like blind Oedipus of Thebes ... "- and decide. But it is written quite in the antique way - without discounts for any decency. These authors have a lot of books, they are uneven. It may be better to start not even with the Odyssey, but with the Nopparapon. The book is lighter, more modern (paler ...).

Finally, about the three "epics"

These books are for "grown-up" children - of course. The humor is that it was the children who introduced me to two of them - they brought me to show, because it was worth it. And I am grateful to the children, but when it is reasonable to start reading, I don’t know.

R. ZelaznyThe Chronicles of Amber.

The first five are especially good, where the narrator is Corwin, a European and an esthete. Somehow, behind his every word, one can feel that he lived through the entire European culture - that's just like his awkward life (as it actually was). The most charming book. And the idea of ​​a true world, in relation to which everything else is a pale cast, is shown very convincingly. There is no point in advising the translation: it is unlikely that now it will be possible to get a version of the Russian-speaking Chinese who tried to adequately convey the language tricks and games ("Nine Princes in Amber", "burnt lizard legs", etc.).

V. KamshaRed on red (cycle "Reflections of Eterna").

The book about which I cried out (after reading at night): "Yes, this is" War and Peace "of some kind!" This, of course, is not "War and Peace" - it ended up being too stretched out (and heaped up). But this is the most sober and adequate understanding of our current troubled life - albeit in fantasy clothes, with swords, sails, mysticism and horror. And the war is described very intelligibly, meaningfully. Even me it was interesting and understandable. The book is clever, tough, but in places of naturalism all the same over the edge. And the author has a universal modern grudge against faith and believers. By the way, there is something to talk about and think about.

Max FryExo Labyrinths. The Chronicles of Exo.

I myself did not dare to "slip" this in any of my classes to any, even the most uncensored readers. So they read it on their own, without asking anyone or discussing it with anyone. You can consider this my quirk and sedition, but nevertheless it seems to me that this is our highest quality literature for recent years 10. True, very childish. And adults, as experience shows, often do not understand it - they consider it low-grade entertaining reading.

The list, of course, turned out to be whimsical and incomplete. It makes sense to add to it what will later be remembered. Or throw something out. However, this is nothing more than a cheat sheet, from which you can simply push off when you are looking for a book for a specific child.

O.V. Smirnova

1. Stephen Chbosky "It's good to be quiet" (the main character is a wonderful, kind, sincere boy. The book tells the story of the life of the boy "Charlie", who writes letters to his anonymous friend. Charlie describes the life of a teenager, in which he is faced with bullying, drugs, sexual harassment) is a very interesting and entertaining book, read in one breath. The book is easy to read because it is written honestly, simply, frankly.

2. Jojo Moais "Me Before You" (the main character is a 35-year-old young man, Will Traynor. The main character is Louise Clarke, a 27-year-old girl. A very romantic love story of two people, this novel will make everyone cry.) Lou Clark knows how many steps from the bus stop to her house. She knows that she really enjoys working in the cafe and that most likely she does not like her boyfriend Patrick. But Lou does not know that she is about to lose her job and that in the near future she will need all the strength to overcome the problems that have fallen on her.

Will Traynor knows that the motorcyclist who hit him has robbed him of his desire to live. And he knows exactly what needs to be done to put an end to all this. But he does not know that Lou will soon burst into his world with a riot of colors. And they both do not know that they will change each other's lives forever. I really liked this book. She about true love, self-sacrifice. A very sad ending. The book is worth everyone to read it, it makes you think about many things. The book will not leave anyone indifferent. Better to read to teens 16+

3. John Green "The Fault in the Stars". A wonderful book about love. Both teenagers are sick with cancer, but this does not prevent them from enjoying life and loving each other with the most real, sincere love. After reading, you can watch a movie, but it will not impress you as much as a book.

4. Paulo Coelho "Veronica decides to die"

A bit of a philosophical book, makes you think about your life.

5. Lydia Charskaya. Wonderful good works that teach only good things.

6. L.N. Tolstoy "War and Peace". Without further ado, this epic novel is ABOUT EVERYTHING. Take the time to read. A truly great work that everyone should know. The main characters are very interesting. Their life stories will not leave you indifferent.

7.M.A. Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita". An unusual and exciting novel. It has more than just love. From the first pages it is interesting to figure out what's what.

8. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons". Classic Russian literature.

9. O. Wilde "Portrait of Dorian Gray"

10. Ray Bradbury "Fahrenheit 451"

11. Stephen King's Green Mile. You can also watch a movie. Wonderful story

12. E. M. Remarque "Three Comrades". Perfect as an example for an essay on the Unified State Exam in the Russian language (like "War and Peace", without it anywhere;)).

These books are more suitable for girls. But even boys can read them, they will not be disappointed. All books are easy to understand and easy to read, which is very important for teenagers (perhaps, except for "War and Peace"). These books teach to be kind, sincere, teach to love truly, be friends, etc. I wish you pleasant reading, you will not regret it! 😉

Here are the most interesting books for teens. The list, in fact, is one, it is divided into components only for convenience. This division is rather arbitrary, since sometimes a book can be attributed to any section.

Teenage literature. Reviews

Literature for adolescents invites young men and women to get answers to many questions. Today in bookstores one can find works on the problems of growing up and social adaptation, finding their place in life, novels about young heroes who consider themselves superfluous. Books about the struggle between good and evil, about love experiences always remain popular. In adolescent literature, unlike children's books, sad stories appear - about problems in the family, difficulties, injustice, and they sometimes end very sadly.

Such a variety of topics and directions can be found in the classics of literature for teenagers, and in modern works. And if books from the gold fund receive only positive reviews and high ratings, then modern works are often criticized for their primitiveness and poor language. However, unsatisfactory ratings and bad reviews are often explained by the fact that they were read and commented on by people of an older generation: they find the problems of adolescents far-fetched, plots - predictable, love stories - too sweet, etc.

But the fact of the matter is that these books are intended for teenagers, and they are allowed to be like this: a little naive, simple, written in an understandable language. And if individual works of teenage literature are universal, so that they can be read at any age, then most of the books in this direction later outgrow the readers and no longer understand what fascinated them so much and made them sit with their favorite volume for hours.

No need to force teenagers to read classics instead of their favorite "Twilight" or "Hunger Games". Such behavior can discourage the love of reading forever. It is better to let young people choose books on their own, so they independently come to the best works of world literature. The road will be a little longer, but at least they won't stop halfway.

Why teens don't like to read

Many parents are concerned about this issue. They sincerely wonder why their offspring do not want to while away the evenings with a battered volume of Chekhov or discuss Paustovsky's work with friends.

Let's be honest: even if we drop everything physiological reasons dislike of reading (poor eyesight, emotional and psychological immaturity, hormonal storms, fatigue, etc.), there will still be a large percentage of adolescents who are not friends with the book. There are many reasons for this, for example, today bright films with an abundance of special effects create great competition for print media, computer games sometimes more complex than in any book, the plot and many other entertainments.

But often teenagers do not like to read because of the wrong selection of books. They try one thing, then something else, and in the end, disappointed, they quit. Although, perhaps they just did not find their shelf in the library. After all, today you can choose a work for any literary preference: there are interesting books about love for teenagers, excellent fantasy books, quest books, books about the life of modern youth, horrors for teenagers and just good literature that will be understandable and attractive at any age.

Books everyone needs to read

These are literary works for any age - universal and multifaceted. Someone might say that an interesting book for teenagers should not be too serious, otherwise interest in it quickly loses. In fact, adolescents are more than ready to understand the most difficult and confusing issues, and they are able to appreciate the literature of high flight:

Domestic classics

Here is a list interesting books for teenagers, composed of works included in the school curriculum. During their studies, they are treated quite dismissively, since students are obliged to read the classics. But later, after re-acquaintance "not out of hand", these books firmly take their place in the list of favorites for the rest of their lives:

1. "Scarlet Sails", A. Green.
2. "Heart of a Dog", M. Bulgakov.
3. "Crime and Punishment", F. M. Dostoevsky.
4. "Olesya", A. I. Kuprin.
5. The Master and Margarita, M. Bulgakov.
6. Murder on Morgue Street by E. Poe.
7. "Portrait of Dorian Gray", O. Wilde.
8. "Minor", DI Fonvizin.
9. "Dead Souls", N. V. Gogol.
10. The Queen of Spades, A. Pushkin.

The Golden Calf, I. Ilf, E. Petrov. The best satire of Soviet literature, with which only the stories of Mikhail Zoshchenko can be compared.

“The Dawns Here Are Quiet”, BL Vasiliev. About girls who sacrificed themselves to win a tiny battle in a big war.

The Gulag Archipelago, A. Solzhenitsyn. A very difficult book, in addition, there were always rumors that Solzhenitsyn exaggerated a lot. Recommended for older adolescents.

Lolita, A. Nabokov. Despite the scandalous touch, this book does not contain shocking explicit scenes and is written in beautiful language.

"Amphibian Man", A. Belyaev. An excellent example of Soviet science fiction.

Love love

Interesting books about love for teenagers are of considerable interest, because they themselves begin the first serious relationship... Love novels help young men and women learn to understand their own feelings, understand different models of relationships, and take responsibility for their actions:

1. Jane Eyre, C. Bronte and Pride and Prejudice by D. Austin. Two of the best historical love novels that will interest any girl.
2. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. You can scold this episode as much as you want for being too sweet, but teenage girls really like it, and, in fact, there is nothing wrong with these books.
3. Howl's Moving Castle by D. W. Jones. A marvelous, unusual fairy tale, based on which a full-length cartoon was filmed.
4. The Shadowhunters by C. Claire.
5. Forever, D. Bloom.

Of course, these are more interesting books for teenage girls, while boys prefer detective stories and adventure more and choose the works of Astrid Lindgren, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Stevenson, Alexander Dumas, Robert Heinlein and Ray Bradbury.

Fantasy

For many teenagers, the love of books begins precisely with the fantasy genre. They are usually read when the child has already grown up for the tales of Koschey, Snow White, Gray Wolf, Cinderella, Great and Terrible Goodwin, but has not yet matured to serious literature. Most of the readers who read fantasy as a teenager retain a reverent attitude towards him even at 30, 40, 50 years:

1. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling.
2. The Lord of the Rings by JR Tolkien.
3. "Dark Principles", F. Pullman.
4. Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin.
5. The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis

"Chasodei", Natalia Shcherba. Series of 6 books.

"Methodius Buslaev", Dmitry Emets.

Star Rangers by Robert Heinlein. Also in the teenage series from this author you can read "Star Beast" and "Tunnel in the Sky".

The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo, A. Dumas and Journey to the Center of the Earth, Jules Verne.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by A. K. Doyle and Ten Little Indians by A. Christie. A classic of the detective genre.

At this age, it is important to let the child read what he wants, and not what his parents consider useful for development. An interesting book for teenagers of 14 years old is an opportunity to take a break from the workload and many additional activities. Therefore, the list includes only light, entertaining books, which, however, did not prevent them from entering the golden fund of world literature.

As Long As I Live By Jenny Downham. The work will be useful for teenagers who have already purchased some bad habits or have encountered the influence of older and more experienced friends.

“The House In Which”, Mariam Petrosyan. The book raises not only the problems of people with disabilities, but also clearly shows the distribution of roles in a social group.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. At the age of 16, one can already appreciate all the diversity of the satirical perception of the world with which this work is replete.

The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. At a younger age, the stories in this series may seem boring, but a little later you begin to understand how much hidden meaning they have.

Martin Eden, Jack London. Teenagers often read "White Fang" or "Hearts of Three", but it is this work that shows how to work on oneself.

An interesting book for teenagers 16 years old can raise sensitive social issues, such as the topic of prostitution, drug addiction, physical and psychological abuse. And that worries parents who don't know if it is worth bringing control to their entertainment selection process.

Should parents supervise the child in the choice of books?

Every teenager sooner or later learns about everything that is happening in our crazy world. And for him it will not be a secret that there are different sexual relations, pedophilia, trafficking in one's own and another's body, crime, relationships between partners of the same sex, etc. He learns about it one way or another: maybe from TV programs, the Internet, magazines, books, or friends and classmates will tell him. So it is stupid to forbid a child to read a work where these problems are raised. After all, somehow he needs to grow up, learns to think about serious things, consequences, his own actions. It is impossible to protect a teenager from all the cruelty of the world until the age of majority, and by the age of 18, get a full-fledged mature personality.

It's another matter if all these horrors were not written with the aim of proving something, leading to some thought, but included in the text so that lovers of such reading would enjoy the details. Usually such texts are marked "18+", plus electronic versions can be marked with tags "slash", "hentai", "etty".

So, without interfering directly with the process of choosing books, parents still need to know what the child is reading. An interesting book for teenagers will not always be so entertaining for an adult reader, but they still need to be read in order to understand your child and speak the same language with him.

This article does not cover all the most interesting books for teens. The list goes on for a very long time, but only the elite, the best of the best, are represented here. Here's a list of teen authors who are more than worthy of note as well:

1. Annabelle Pitcher.
2. Sally Green.
3. Jonathan Stroud.
4. Scott Westefeld.
5. Natalie Babbitt.
6. Richelle Mead.
7. Frank Herbert.
8. Eduard Verkin.
9. Veniamin Kaverin.
10. Kerstin Gere.
11. Veronica Roth.
