Geographical tale

Indeed, the full version of the fairy tale, which was written by Selma lagerlöf, “Journey of Nils with wild geese" is a textbook on the geography of Sweden. In the late nineteenth century, one of the leaders of the Swedish school system, Alfred Dalin, Selma was offered a job on the project, which was attended by writers and teachers. The project involved the creation of a series of books in a fascinating way prepodnosyaschih knowledge, and was soon implemented. Book Selma was released first and was intended for pupils of the first class, which at the time was enrolled in school at the age of nine years. Coming into the light in 1906, the piece quickly became the most widely read in Scandinavia, and its author some time later received the Nobel prize for his contribution to literature. Each Swedish child is thoroughly known its summary. "Journey of Nils with wild geese" is one of the most popular children's books around the world. In Sweden even put a small monument to Nils.

Period or a paraphrase?

The book is known primarily for the free arrangement, written in 1940 Zoya Transdanubia and Alexandra lyubars'ka. This is one of the many cases that are typical for children's literature of Soviet times, when foreign works already written based on children's audience, was further adapted by the translators. A similar situation occurred with the "Pinocchio”, “Oz” and other known abroad works. 700 pages of original text, the translators cut down to a hundred small, while managing to add a few scenes and characters. The story line was markedly reduced, leaving only a number of amusing episodes; from the geographical and local information is not gone. Of course, it's too much specific knowledge, which is not interesting for small children a completely different country. But what was to change the ending of the tale – unclear… Turned out almost summary. "Journey of Nils with wild geese" turned out to be greatly simplified. However, in the end you got a great fascinating story, which you should definitely read to children from the age of five – six.

Other translations

There are other translations, much less known – the story of Nils the translators worked from 1906. Alexander Blok, the poet of the Silver age, I read one of these translations, and was very happy with the book. But the first translations were made from German, that does not honor the translation process of the early twentieth century. The full translation from Swedish was written only in 1975 Lyudmila Braude.

Selma Lagerlof adventures of Nils with wild geese

Contents

Bully Boy Nils Holgersson hails from a small Swedish village lived, not grieve – poking the bear, throwing rocks at animals, ruining bird nests, and all of his pranks go unpunished. But only from time to time – one of nil's bad joke on funny little man, and he was mighty forest gnome and decided to teach the boy a lesson. The dwarf turned Neal into the same kid as he was, even a little smaller. And the boy began the dark days. He could not face family, was scared of every rustle of a mouse, the chickens pecked him, and the terrible beast cat to come up was difficult.

On the same day by the house where he was imprisoned, the unfortunate, flew a flock of wild geese, headed by old Akka Kebnekaise. One lazy pet, Gus Martin, unable to bear the ridicule free birds, decided to prove to them that the domestic goose is also good for something. Barely taking off, he followed the pack – with Nils on the back, because the boy could not let go of his best goose.

The Pack didn't want to accept fat poultry, but the little man she was glad even less. Geese were suspicious to Niels, but on the first night he saved one of them from the Fox Smirre, earning the respect of the pack and hate the Fox.

So Niels began his wonderful journey to Lapland, during which he performed many feats, helping new friends – the beasts and birds. The boy saved the inhabitants of an ancient castle from the invasion of rats (by the way, the episode with the flute, an allusion to the legend of the pied Piper Himmelska, is the translation box), helped a family of bears to escape from the hunter, back inthe nest of the squirrel. And all this time it reflected the continuous attack Smirre. Met a boy, and people – helped the writer to the Loser to recover the manuscript, talked with reanimated statues, fighting with the cook for the life of Martin. And then, on arriving in Lapland, became a foster brother to many wild goslings.

And then he returned home. In the way Niels has learned how to remove the curse of a dwarf, but he had to make friends with nature and with ourselves. From the bully Nils turned into a good boy, always ready to help the weak, and also the best student – because the journey, he learned a lot of geographical knowledge.
