About the concept of “book”, “precious books”
No source of energy has yet succeeded in creating such light as sometimes emanates from a small volume, and never will an electric current have such power as the electricity contained in the printed word. Ageless and indestructible, timeless, the most concentrated force, in the most intense and diverse form - that’s what a book is... Everywhere, not only in our personal lives, the book is the alpha and omega of all knowledge.”
This hymn to the book was written by Stefan Zweig, who managed to briefly and accurately, figuratively and succinctly convey the enduring significance of the book. A book plays a very important role in a person’s life.
“Reading good books is a conversation with the best people of past times,” said Rene Descartes, “and, moreover, such a conversation when they tell us only their best thoughts.”
The ocean of books is limitless. Books provide answers to almost all questions.
Another feature of reading is focusing only on the topic of the work. You just want to know what
it's written in the book.
But how
it’s written is also important. If you ignore the individual characteristics of the author of the work, simply lose sight of them, then you may not see the artistic qualities of the book. Then the expressiveness of the form and the artistic value of the work are lost behind the content. And you deprive yourself of enjoying beauty.
Then there is a danger of not being able to discern a good, real book, of not being able to distinguish it from a fake. After all, it’s no secret that it happens when weak, primitive works, offering cliched heroes and cliched situations, are read with no less interest than a real, good book: everything in them is “as it should” - both events and experiences. But the main thing is missing - feelings, thoughts and beauty.
The art of reading is the art of feeling and thinking. And only those books that contain real life, noble feelings and passionate ideas will teach this. “Taste develops not on mediocre, but on the most perfect material,” said the great Goethe.
It is very important that every book you read leads you forward and lifts you spiritually. It happens that some books are more difficult than we would like. But is a real book an easy read?
A book is a generous friend. The more you give yourself to a book, the more you get in return. Because, as the writer Yuri Bondarev said, addressing readers, “a book suffered by conscience creates around a moral force field, an invaluable emotional space that influences a person with a difficult knowledge of the truth, and together gives birth to a painful and joyful search for doors, an entrance into oneself.”
The book should be performed by the reader like a sonata. Signs are notes. It is up to the reader to realize or distort. ( Marina Tsvetaeva)
Examples from fiction
- A.S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin".
Many heroes of the novel by A.S. Pushkin enjoy reading books. Eugene Onegin gave his preference to the economic works of Adam Smith and disdained poetry. His choice in literature explains the whole essence of nature - the main character did not value feelings and did not believe in love, he was a prudent practitioner, thinking about his own convenience and well-being.
Lensky is the complete opposite of Onegin; he enthusiastically read German philosophers, including Kant, and also wrote poems himself. His poetic nature idealized the people around him and his ideas of life; he sincerely believed that there was only room for beauty in the world. It was this faith that destroyed him; life turned out to be much more difficult and crueler than on the pages of his precious books. Lensky spends the last hours of his life before the duel alone with a book. The duel itself took place due to a misunderstanding between nature, nurtured on the poetry of Schiller and Goethe, and the unquestioning pragmatism of a representative of secular society.
Tatyana Larina, like a true aristocrat, loves reading novels. The main character loved to dream and often imagined the embodiment of the story from the book she read in her own life. Such thinking led to Tatyana treating the surrounding reality as the action of one of the novels, expecting the same loud phrases and heroic deeds.
The literary preferences of the characters play an important role throughout the entire novel by A.S. Pushkin. Only after visiting Onegin’s house and flipping through the pages of books with his notes, Tatyana began to understand the true essence of her lover.
Alexander Sergeevich, using the example of the heroes of his novel in verse, wanted to show that precious books can not only influence the creation of a worldview, but also break an established life at the root.
- Ray Bradbury "Fahrenheit 451"
A striking example of the value of books is presented in Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451. The main character works as a fireman, but this profession has an unusual meaning for us: Guy Montag does not put out fires, he burns houses where books are located. In the modern world, books are strictly prohibited, because stupid people are much easier to control. Everything changed for the main character after reading one publication: he began to look at the world differently, doubted the social order, and began to guess about the true state of things. Guy Montag's life could not be the same after reading the books; he joined the ranks of resistance agents.
The author hopes that people like Guy Montag will change our world for the better in the future.
- M. Gelprin “The candle was burning.”
M. Gelprin's dystopia tells about the terrible future of our world, where literature first faded into the background and then disappeared completely. The main character of the story is a former literature teacher; more than ten years ago he was fired due to the lack of demand for his profession. Andrei Petrovich was unable to find a new job, so he was left alone - his wife, unable to bear the lack of money, left him. Tired of poverty, the main character advertised for private literature lessons, not really counting on a positive result. When the first person appears inquiring about the cost of classes, it becomes clear that the main character is a teacher by vocation. He is ready to give a lesson for free, just to feel the need for his knowledge and skills again. Andrei Petrovich considered his profession vital, because literature educates a person’s personality, shapes minds and spiritual values. A world without literature is an immoral world. The main character regained meaning in life only when he had new students.

List
There are no books that are precious to all readers at once. Each person independently chooses those books that made him better. He analyzes what he read and draws conclusions from it that will be useful to him in later life and warn him against mistakes in the future.
However, there are a number of works that are highly valued around the world. These stories, novellas, opened a sense of beauty in people, expanded their horizons, and, ultimately, reflected history on their pages. Precious books include the following works, which have received recognition in all corners of the planet called Earth. Of course, it is impossible to fit a list of all precious books into one article. Here are those works that are the most striking examples of the most valuable books on Earth:
- "War and Peace", whose author is a famous Russian writer named Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy. This four-volume work not only tells about Russian history, but also helps to understand relationships between people.
- “The Captain's Daughter” is one of several precious works from the pen of Alexander Pushkin. You can learn forgiveness from him.
Russian writers and poets very often wrote precious books. An example from literature that illustrates this is the story “Matrenin’s Dvor.” This work tells about the righteous in our lives.
What do precious books teach?
As stated earlier, there is no age at which all people discover precious books. What is love, friendship, kindness? The answers to these questions can be found in books like these. A person can acquire them both in childhood and in old age, but in any case he learns something new and interesting about morality and ethics.
And yet the question remains: “What do the precious books teach?” What is hidden in them? It is impossible to give an answer to it that would appeal to all people on the planet at once, because these books teach every person what he does not know how to do and does not understand. However, many people admit how precious books have helped them.
- They taught them to distinguish good from evil.
- They helped them understand such concepts as friendship, love, hatred.
- Throughout their lives they taught them humanity and morality.
Thus, precious books can change a person’s worldview, help him understand himself and understand others.
