Reflections on Krapivin's books.
The books of Vladislav Krapivin have a strange property - they
tighten.
I want to read more and more. What is the secret of this power. We haven't been here for a long time
They could understand, or rather they just didn’t think about it.
And if you think about it, you realize that all of Krapivin’s books are about
one, about true friendship. It doesn't matter whether it's a fairy tale or fantasy,
they are all about friendship and friends. About the real ones who will not betray,
will come to the rescue in difficult times, overcome any obstacles,
even the most insurmountable ones. Wooden blade made by hand
friend, will pierce iron like paper, and enter stone like oil.
You can rely on such friends in everything, entrust any secrets.
Who doesn't want a friend like that? But in life it works out
in another way:
We have many friends, but there are none like those in Krapivin’s books, like
It's not sad. It is unlikely that if we were leaving forever for another
city, someone rushed after the train, breaking all the rules
and knowing that he would get into trouble for this, he would chain us up
with a chain so that adults could not take it away. Yes, and we ourselves are not capable of this
capable, small intestines.
And in general, in Krapivin’s books the main enemies are often, well,
If not enemies, then adults become opponents of the children.
It turns out that there are two camps, a camp of good guys and a camp

adults. There is a constant struggle between adults and children. Bad
adults kill the good guys (like the drummer guards) but
and they do not remain in debt (the chancellor was also pinned). But they
kill adults in the fight against evil, saving the life of a friend or everyone
good people. These are not some cold-blooded killers, just
it turns out like this: either you kill, or you die yourself and thereby doom
to the death of others. The author puts the hero in a hopeless situation -
kill or die.
But still, children should not kill anyone, even bad ones.
This is wrong.
In general, this was not the case in Krapivin’s early books. Take
stories about Joni Vorobyov, "The Side Where the Wind is",
"Squire Kashka", "Valka's friends and sails". It was simple there
there was no misunderstanding, no hostility. She appears later. And the further
the scarier it becomes. Maybe life has become so cruel?
Horrible stories appear about boarding schools and orphanages,
It’s just creepy and I’m scared to go to the camp. Suddenly there too
such scumbags will meet, and we are not Krapivin’s heroes (although dad is
named us in honor of the Krapivin heroes).
Next to Krapivin's heroes you feel a little uneasy.
The comparison is not in our favor. We are not so honest, not so brave
and not so smart. I don't know where guys like this actually exist.
but I really want to have thesefriends. When you read books about this
never thought about it, but now all sorts of nonsense pops into my head.
We have not read all of Vladislav Krapivin’s books, some
we simply don’t exist, but you read every new book with pleasure and
looking forward to the new one. It's great that it's being released now.

Of course, we don’t like everything equally. Our most favorite -
cycle "The Musketeer and the Fairy", "Three from Corronade Square", "Boy with
sword", "Crane and lightning". Of the latest - "Babushkin
grandson"... Yes, they forgot "Blue City on Sadovaya".
It's probably easier to say what you like less. I don't know, but
For some reason the "pilot" didn't work for us. In general, all books by Krapivin
this is great. Many thanks to him, and wishes for health, and that
he wrote many more good books.
