Holiday dates of the school year. The brightest anniversary stars in the literary firmament of foreign countries

Every year in the Russian Federation many significant and memorable dates are celebrated. 2018 was no exception. A huge number of writers, poets, literary critics and other cultural figures who are known throughout the world were born on the territory of our country. Every cultured and educated person in our great country, of course, notes anniversaries of poets and writers in 2018.

The activities of these people influenced the ideological consciousness of humanity, and possibly the historical course of events.

Some people confuse the concepts of “anniversaries” and “memorable” dates. They need to be clarified. Today, all over the world it is customary to celebrate an anniversary that is a multiple of five. For example, the 130th anniversary of the birth of Leonid Grossman will be celebrated on January 24, 2018, a famous literary critic, writer, also known as the creator of the ZhZL series of books, in which, by the way, he wrote about Pushkin and Dostoevsky.

Memorable dates include events that influenced the course of history of a country or even all of humanity.

Systematization of significant and anniversary dates of writers and poets can be proposed in different chronological order:

1. Distribution of dates by century or sequence of literary movements and trends. For example: first come the writers and poets of the Golden Age, and then the Silver Age.
2. Distribution of dates in the calendar sequence of 2018, starting from January and ending with December. In this case, the list may include writers and poets of the Renaissance and our contemporaries.

This article presents the second option of chronological order.

As a gift to children

The dates of the anniversaries of children's writers in 2018 deserve special attention. To open the door to a fairy tale, to open the curtain of a mysterious secret, to give a whole world of fantastic adventures - because for this it is not enough to just be a talented author, you need to love children with all your heart, and subtly feel their emotional experiences.

Among everyone’s favorite poets and prose writers who have created real masterpieces of the pen for their small and most grateful readers is the 110-year-old hero of the day, Nikolai Nosov. His stories, fairy tales and stories full of love for children are lively, real, witty and exciting. That is why they are so loved by young literature connoisseurs. Little Dunno, smart Bobik and Barbos, Vitya Maleev - these and other ageless, perky characters have forever settled in the hearts of long-grown-up “kids” and are just as quickly gaining warm recognition among modern children.

Boris Zakhoder, whose centenary is being celebrated in 2018, has also done a lot for the development of children's literature. His poems about professions and animals, which are both light and filled with deep meaning, and playful little rhymes are written simply and clearly, as if the author himself is still a child and sees the whole world as a child, in its brightest colors.

2018 marks the 145th anniversary of the birth of Mikhail Prishvin, whose authorship includes stories about nature that very captivatingly and kindly introduce little readers to the greatness and beauty of the world around them.

The anniversaries of writers and poets in 2018 are the best occasion to discover the wonderful world of words, to revive in memory the work of venerable geniuses of the pen, or to enjoy amazing novels, short stories, novellas and poems for the first time.

Every year in the Russian Federation a number of holidays are celebrated that in some way influenced the formation of our culture. These days, every citizen of our country remembers the significant events that shaped the appearance of the state as it is now.

Everyone knows that a large number of world-famous writers, writers, poets and other cultural figures were born on the territory of Russia, who directly influenced the formation of the worldview of all mankind. Thanks to their talent, such people became real idols of entire generations and forever went down in history as unique bearers of original ideas.

In order to honor the memory of the best representatives of our people, our country annually compiles a list of anniversary dates for which ceremonial events are planned. Thus, every iconic person receives the recognition they deserve on their birthday.

What do anniversaries and memorable dates mean?

In order to speak affirmatively about the significance of any date, you first need to understand why it is called that way. It is necessary to understand the difference between anniversaries, . Many people classify all these events under the general category of holidays, although each such event carries its own idea.

Anniversary days in the generally accepted concept and application in practice often differ from the classical formulation of this term. As a rule, when talking about some event or a specific person, everyone considers the calendar date and the time periods associated with it, while a round date is usually considered an anniversary.

The formulation of the definition of a memorable date is more understandable to the common man. Such days are those time periods that had a direct impact on the history of the country, or made significant changes in the cultural, political and social life of the state.

Domestic and foreign anniversaries in 2018

The world-famous cultural figures we will honor in 2018 created their creations in different periods of time and on different continents. However, their masterpieces are appreciated and loved in all corners of the globe.

Domestic writers and poets

In winter, fans of the talent of outstanding personalities will celebrate the anniversaries of several Russian cultural figures. February 25 will mark eighty years since the birth of the most famous Soviet singer and composer Vladimir Vysotsky.

The master of rhyme, on whose songs entire generations of our citizens grew up, is known for hundreds of masterpiece creations that have not lost their relevance to this day. On this day, fans of the genius will be able to visit the grave of their idol and take part in the opening of a new exhibition of the creator’s works in the Vysotsky House.

On January 3, 2018, fans of high literary thought will celebrate the 115th anniversary of the famous writer Alexander Bek, who in his works managed to convey the unique flavor of Soviet reality. Admirers of the “master of the pen” will be able to pay tribute to the prose writer at a thematic meeting of cultural figures, which will take place early in the new year.

The spring and summer of 2018 will be an equally busy period in the cultural life of Russian society. March 16, 2018 will mark the 150th anniversary of Maxim Gorky, one of the most iconic personalities of the early twentieth century.

By this day, it is planned to open a unique museum dedicated to the life and work of the world famous writer. In July, fans of the literary genre will celebrate the anniversaries of N. Chernyshevsky and V. Korolenko, thanks to whose creations national culture received a new impetus for development.

In the autumn period, one of the most significant events in the cultural sphere of our state will take place. On November 11, the whole country will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of the most famous master of Russian literary art - Ivan Turgenev.

Celebrations dedicated to the memory of the brilliant creator are planned for this date in all cities. In addition, in November, the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation promises to publish a “Turgenev” encyclopedia, which promises to give new “breath” to the writer’s creative heritage.

Foreign artists

Our compatriots do not limit themselves to studying the cultural achievements of Russian writers and poets; they also love and honor the works of foreign writers.

In 2018, representatives of the cultural sphere will celebrate the birth dates of such artists as: D. G. Brown, Stendhal, Jules Verne, G. James, F. Kafka and G. Hoffmann. These are real “giants” of world literature, whose names are known to absolutely every person in our country, so the planned festive events will be held at the highest level.

Celebrating anniversaries of the birth of great personalities is an integral part of the national cultural tradition. At such events, the work of brilliant writers is remembered, the influence of their legacy on the development of society is studied, and the blessed memory of the creators is invariably honored.

2018 promises to be very eventful in the field of cultural relations. It will give many pleasant moments to those people for whom creativity occupies a very important place in life.
