Books in our life.
Despite the increase in TV watching and the developing of World Wide Web,
reading is still very important. So I don't think books need to be rescued.
Reading both entertains and educates people. Books help us to discover new
things and explore new ideas.
A book is one of the greatest wonders in the world. It gives a unique
chance to link up with authors who lived hundreds and thousands years ago.
Thanks to books we can talk to people who lived in different ages and
countries. Through reading books we hear their voices, thoughts and
feelings. Books can tell us a lot about arts and fashion. From them we can
learn about the rest of the world. The book is the surest way to bring
nations together. It gives us an insight not only into the past, but also
into the future.
The book is a faithful and undemanding friend: it can be put aside and
taken up
again at any moment. Reading is the perfect way to relax and spend your
free time. Books portray life in its richness, so they develop reader's
imagination and arouse curiosity, admiration. Sometimes they even can help
to solve difficult problems of life.
I become very keen on literature early in life. This probably happened
because we had a very good and widely read library in home. Books stirred
my imagination, expanded the boundaries of the familiar world and filled my
life with great expectations of joy and happiness. Since childhood I have
been enchanted by A. Volkov and his "Magician of the Emerald City" and its
sequels. I also was delighted with Pushkin's fairytales. Later my heart was
won by Chehov, Russian writer, and J. Ronie, French author who wrote a lot
of adventure novels about ancient times. Luckily this world is rich in
remarkable authors.
I'm fond of reading and I've read a lot of books of different genres. And
certainly I have my favorite book. It is the story by Agatha Christie –
"The murder of Roger Ackroyd". Agatha Christie was born in 1890. She is the
famous English detective writer, and almost everyone knows her as creator
of Miss Marple and Hercules Poirot.This book was written in 1926. Some
critics say that Agatha Christie introduced a novelty in this work, because
the murder is a storyteller. In the "The murder of Roger Ackroyd" the main
characters and environment are typical for 1920th in England. The action
takes place in a country house. The authors shows us it's owner with his
habits, relatives and neighbors. All this is presented vividly and
brightly. One of the main heroes of the book Hercules Poirot gets over a
lot of problems before catching a murder.
Excitement, suspense, horror, revenge, and extraordinary talent, astounding
calmness of Hercules Poirot fill this book. "The murder of Roger Ackroyd"
has made a great impression on me. And nowadays it makes really
unforgettable impressive reading.
