Russian teacher laments, modern literature makes him blush
Answer a few simple questions: When was the last time you picked up a book? Did you manage to read it to the end? How old is the work that is printed in it? Whatever the answers, I still have to admit that Problems of Modern Literature There are.
Really. Recently, one can hardly find deep and monumental creations of scale, for example, “War and Peace” by Leo Tolstoy. More and more easy reading, which does not require deep feelings and thinking. Editorial "Site" I tried to identify several factors that contributed to the fact that we began to read less.
It seems to us that at different times reading has remained the privilege of a rather narrow circle of people. If you remember history, it turns out that even a hundred years ago, our country was full of illiterate people. And so it is everywhere: hardly Jules Verne wrote about the adventures of Captain Nemo for ordinary winegrowers and cheesemakers.
In other words, the book was a medium for educated people. Of course, it remains so now, but contemporary Printed books are gradually losing ground. However, in the days of disc phones and arithmometers, they remained the light in the captivity of ignorance and general darkness.
With the development of society and growing exponentially the level of education literature ceased to be something elite. Accordingly, the level of the request began to blur. If earlier books contained the works of great geniuses, now journalism has come in their place. And here any linguist could try his hand. Literary communitiesAlmanacs, magazines, more and more people could afford them.
Soon books became literally "about everything." People began to look for aesthetics in fiction and try to convey it on their own. Something. quality control It could have been censored. But in the age of the Internet, it ceased to be a regulatory tool. And the book sadly yielded its pages to hordes of graphomaniacs.
As it turned out, to be able to read and write is not enough, you still need to have intelligence and use causality. But it's only written in fat and boring books without pictures, and who needs them now? However, we live in happy-timeReading and writing is no longer a problem. But the necessary information will have to look for yourself.
Humanity has crossed the threshold when the book was the only source of information and aesthetic pleasure. This threshold was the development of the Internet, mobile devices and social networks. You can't buy it now. encyclopedic It is enough to send a request to the phone. To be honest, you don’t even need to be able to write, because the search is completely controlled by voice.
From the editorial office Stay in the centuries! So now they talk about works that affect the minds of people. It seems that now the book again goes into the category of elite objects. We are talking about gift or collectible copies. Like a medieval bible printed in red gold and clothed in the most expensive leather with a unique decorative ornament. What do you think?
Problems of Modern Literature It didn't appear right now. These are long-term, civilizational and moral processes. What happens to her next? Read our article on which books are considered the best for women. Thank you for staying with us!

- Internet
It provides access to almost all types of information. Do you want to experience in real time some sharp events? You want to enjoy online travel. Now you do not need to fantasize and invent pictures, the information has become visual, gives an accurate idea of those objects in which you are interested.
- TV series
Now you can not meet the rhymed poem of Pushkin – they have irretrievably disappeared as a genre. However, they were replaced by series. They more than satisfy the aesthetic request of a person, conveying the necessary acuity of sensations and realism of what is happening. Perhaps not all of them show historical events adequately, but again, with the help of the Internet, you can always broaden your horizons.
- Blogs.
The real influencers are bloggers. Anyone can create content that is interesting to others. This is the book that many people are so interested in reading. It doesn’t matter what theme is, politics or cooking. We love them for their special style. Like Alexander Dumas or the Strugatsky Brothers. For a good word.
