With numerous top tens loaded into this reader.
Got to a wonderful genre that I once loved more than Stratosphere candy. Once, from the first scholarship or something, I bought a whole kilogram of these sweets (they didn’t give more to some hands), ate it and since then I can’t stand the soufflé in chocolate.
Roughly the same thing happened with my adventure books. When I reached them as not a reader, but a writer, and realized all my dreams about all the adventure novels that I would like to read, but no one wrote them for me, I got tired of the genre. I overfed them. Now I am drawn to the boring: the history of the Russian state and aristonomy.
Alas. Old love rusts.
The beginning of my writing career. Me and the heroes of my adventure novels
I am still convinced that it is very important for a person to read as many adventure novels as possible in childhood. Then the habit of reading will become a lifelong habit, because the very process of reading will be associated with an adventure. For me, for example, it has remained so forever. The most exciting adventures I have experienced is when I read good books. Which is what I wish for all of you. In the sense - so that you encounter dangerous adventures only in literature, and not in life.
Here are ten of your favorite childhood and adolescent adventure novels. Alas, not a single domestic one. Not our Russian forte. I think heavy-bloodedness interferes, "forest" pedigree.
The list includes six English-language books, four French ones. As usual, I give it alphabetically.
Richard D. Blackmore. Lorna Doone
This reading is very teenage. Reassuringly English - when you know that love will be difficult, enemies are insidious, difficulties are almost insurmountable, but everything will end as it should. We will get married, we will overcome our enemies morally and physically, and difficulties will only make us stronger. Blackmore seems to have written nothing more worthy of his long literary career.
To be good is good, to be bad is bad. And Good will win, because it is right.
Théophile GOTIER. Captain Fracasse
When I first discovered the novel, I wanted to give it up, because it starts out boring and is all composed of elephant-like phrases, which in Gaultier's time were considered a sign of delicate taste.
But when you wade through endless descriptions, you find yourself in a wonderful and touching variation of "Lorna Dun" about the fact that good people everything will be fine. Only here the texture is not baggy, like Blackmore's, but elegant and smart in French. The latest age to read this book is fourteen years old.
And our captain Frakass is the most beautiful
Alexandr Duma. Three Musketeers
I will not be original: this is the best adventure novel of all time. Because all the characters are alive. And because adventure is not the main thing there. And most importantly, each reader determines for himself. For me, the key scene is the picnic on the Saint-Gervais bastion. The idea of defeating a hundred thousand enemies, drinking and eating, captivated me for life.
Illustrations by Ivan Kuskov remained the best for me.
Alexandr Duma. Countess of Monsoro
The plot is perhaps even more intricate than "The Musketeers". The "supporting actors" are very good: Shiko, Navarre, Henry III. The main characters are more generic. But still a great thick book ...
Shiko is a character no worse than D "Artanyan
Alexandr Duma. Forty five
... Especially if right after "Countess Monsoro" read "Forty-five", the third part of the trilogy. Unfortunately, the beginning - "Queen Margot" - I am somehow not very good. La Mole is such a campy bore. And Coconnassus is a pity. One disorder. Therefore, I give the trilogy without the first part.
And again the wonderful Shiko is acting. Historical, by the way, a character.
James Clavell. Shogun
I read this novel when I was in Japan when I was twenty. And he saw her with different eyes, although Clavell, of course, is full of all kinds of branchy cherry blossoms. My Diamond Chariot is an homage to this wonderful huge novel. Only the Russian translation came across to me unimportant, all the beauty flowed out somewhere. English is much better.
The show was much worse than the book. But still good.
Joseph CONRAD. Duel
About what men are idiots. And that women mainly love them for this.
Means, too, not very smart.
Rafael SABATINI. Captain Blood's Odyssey
In the third "A" we had a queue for this book by appointment. On the day my turn came, I got sick and did not go to school. It was one of the worst traumas in my life. I didn't want to live directly. Mother got me a copy somewhere, brought it. I began to read and recovered. This is the kind of book it is.
The same book
Robert L. Stevenson. Treasure Island
I recently wrote about this novel. That he is not what it seems at first glance. Certainly not about treasures. As you remember, most of them remained on the island, and the hero is not going to return there (br-r-r).
In my opinion, this is a book about the charm of Evil (John Silver) and the charm of Good (Dr. Livesey). Moreover, without the giveaway game: Silver is more interesting and brighter. And for him, let's pay attention, everything ends with a happy ending. “The disgusting one-legged sailor is gone forever from my life. He probably found his black woman and lives somewhere for his own pleasure with her and with Captain Flint. Let's hope so, for his chances of better life in the next world are quite small. "
The last phrase of the novel is written as if about me:
“Until now I dream at night breakers breaking on its shores, and I jump out of bed,
when I think Captain Flint's hoarse voice:Piastres! Piastres! Piastres! "
Henry Ryder Haggard. King Solomon's Mines
For a long time I could not decide what to give from Haggard - this or the "Daughter of Montezuma". Both novels did not fit in the top ten. I chose Kopi after all. Because of Gargoyle and the Portuguese da Sylvester. That's when it really took my breath away - this was when I realized that Gagool ...
Wow, it was scary
I will not say who has not read what is the matter. I feel sorry for you, who did not read King Solomon's Mines in childhood.
Now you are sharing. Your turn.
Tired of the gray routine, we want to plunge into fictional worlds filled with exciting adventures. Our top 10 best adventure books feature stories with fascinating stories.
