Description
The book “The Boy and the House Spirit” is a very unusual work. Its author, the well-known film director who made many films for children, including fairy-tale films, Irma Raush-Tarkovskaya, managed to combine a playful element, the dramaturgy of visual art, and the living element of language, of literary imagery itself.
The narrative, in which the realities of modernity and ancient legends are organically intertwined, gives rise in the reader’s mind to a picture of a multidimensional, wise, and above all kind world, full of hidden wonders and mysteries. At the same time, the author does not merely fantasize while reflecting on the reality in which man exists, but relies on the profound knowledge and discoveries of the ancients, passed down to us in myths and legends. And paradoxical as it may seem, their significance and truth are increasingly confirmed today even by science.
The author does not impose any final notions on the reader, does not preach, does not pass judgment, but only invites one to reflect. To pause and listen to one’s own feelings. And perhaps to look around a little more attentively… That is where the most interesting part begins.
The book is divided into chapters—milestones of a kind in the journey through fairy tales and legends undertaken by its main character, the boy Sanka, who unexpectedly becomes friends with a real house spirit. In the house spirit’s stories, even widely known characters long since turned into clichés appear extraordinarily fresh and believable. And with some heroes many readers will become acquainted for the first time.
The book will be of interest to children of primary and middle school age and useful to parents, and therefore may be recommended for joint family reading.
