The Little Humpbacked Horse is a wonderful creation of folk art who settled in the fairy tale of the same name. A talented Tobolsk resident described the character as follows: a miniature horse “only three inches tall, on the back with two humps and arshin ears.” Little Hunchback made an excellent comrade and assistant; Konyok sees a way out of any difficult situation into which the main character manages to find himself.

History of creation

The legendary fairy tale, included in the golden fund of Russian literature, was written by a 19-year-old boy. Peter Ershov, a student at St. Petersburg University who came from the Siberian hinterland, conceived the work for adults, but it was loved primarily by children.

The inspiration for the aspiring writer was fairy tales, while the plot is completely folk, taken from the folklore of the Scandinavians and Slavs who lived in the Baltic. The author only arranged wonderful stories in an orderly series, sometimes adding details to them “from his head.” The result is a work that captivates with its simplicity, lively jokes and rich, melodic language. No wonder, after reading the fairy tale, Pushkin said:

“Now I can leave this type of writing to me.”

The great Russian writer was so imbued with the skill of the young storyteller that he expressed the hope of publishing it as a cheap edition in pictures, so that it would certainly reach the common people. Among Ershov's admirers was the master of fairy tales.

For the first time, episodes of the fairy tale “The Little Humpbacked Horse” were published in the magazine “Library for Reading”. The work was published as a separate edition in 1834, but the censorship did not spare it, cutting out significant portions concerning the greed of the police officers and the stupidity of the cruel tsar. Plus, the censors were outraged by the common people’s poems, which reeked of insolence. But that was only the beginning.

A decade later, the lively, witty tale about a tiny horse was completely banned; for 13 years it was in oblivion. Then Ershov edited the chapters, returned the parts deleted by censorship, and the book continued its glorious path to readers, firmly established in children's libraries from the end of the 19th century.

Image and plot

At the center of the work is a typical fairy tale plot based on trinity: in a peasant family there are three sons - two are smart, and the third is not intelligent. Ivan the Fool caught a beautiful mare trampling wheat on her ancestral lands at night. For freedom, the horse promised to give birth to three horses - two polished stallions for sale and a miniature hunchback with long ears, who would become a faithful friend.

The main character and his magical Little Humpbacked Horse get involved in amazing adventures. Ivan accidentally finds the feather of the Firebird and takes up the service of the Tsar as a groom. By order of the ruler, the young man found the wonderful bird, for which he was awarded a promotion. The king's next desire is practically impossible to fulfill - to bring to the court the Tsar Maiden, the daughter of the Moon and the sister of the Sun, who lives on the ocean shore. The desperate Ivan is again supported by the Little Humpbacked Horse, assuring him that the impossible is possible.

And indeed, the Tsar Maiden was caught. Seeing the beauty, the sovereign's husband immediately fell in love with her. But the chosen one set a condition - she agrees to get married only if the king gets a ring from the bottom of the sea. And again Ivan and Little Hunchback had to take the rap. A miracle whale, saved by the main characters, helped complete the difficult task.

The precious decoration did not help the king win the heart of the beauty. The Tsar Maiden wanted to see a young man in her husband, and for this she needed to bathe in three cauldrons - with hot milk, cold water and boiling water. Of course, Ivan had to try the method on himself first, but even then the Little Humpbacked Horse used his magical gift - a handsome man emerged from the cauldrons alive and unharmed. And the Tsar, inspired by Ivan’s transformation, boiled. So Ivan the Fool married a beautiful girl and took the throne.

The fairy tale is full of characters, among which there are only two positive heroes - Ivan the Fool and his wise comrade the Little Humpbacked Horse. The rest are neutral or negative.

To understand the idea, the images of the brothers and the ruler are important. Ershov gives a characterization of Ivan’s brothers: the kids are similar to each other - cowardly deceivers, ready to deceive a loved one for the sake of profit. The characterization of the king is also textbook; in creating the character, the author used satirical notes: the stupid sovereign believes gossip and rumors, out of envy and greed he takes full advantage of the royal position.

The youngest peasant son is the complete opposite of his brothers and especially the king. He knows how to make friends, does not value material wealth, is kind and brave. The characterization of Ivan as a fool is deceptive; in fact, the young man turns out to be dexterous, savvy, “not simple himself,” and can “ride the devil.”

Like any fairy tale, “The Little Humpbacked Horse” does not carry any special moral, reminding only that the outcome of a matter is not always in the hands of man - there are more powerful forces. However, this work teaches strong friendship, thanks to which one can overcome trials, survive adversity and achieve success.

Film adaptations

Based on Ershov’s poetic work “The Little Humpbacked Horse,” the Russians made a feature film and cartoon, and even recorded the creation in the format of an audio tale, where the text is read.

The peculiarity of the colorful cartoon is that it was released in two versions - in 1947 and 1975. The second one is simply supplemented with new plots, and the color scheme of some of the characters has also been changed.

For example, at first the Firebird is yellow, later orange and red shades appear in its color. Both (Ivan), and (the Tsar), Alik Kachanov and Svetlana Kharlap (The Little Humpbacked Horse) worked on the voice acting of the cartoon.

I liked the Soviet cartoon. The American artist and director showed it to his colleagues as an example of cartoon skill.

The director gave the black and white fairy tale to the kids in the first year of the Great Patriotic War. In a wonderful film, I tried on the image of Ivanushka. 40 years later, after the death of the author, the film received a gold medal at the Children's Film Festival in Quito.

The plot of the fairy tale was also embodied in the ballets of composers Caesar Pugni and. In the productions, Alla Shcherbinina, Anatoly Sapogov, Gennady Yanin, Ilya Petrov performed the role of the Little Humpbacked Horse superbly.

At the end of the 20th century, the version that the fairy tale was actually written by Alexander Pushkin began to gain strength in literary circles. Allegedly, such a young author as Pyotr Ershov, from whose pen nothing talented had come out before The Little Humpbacked Horse, would not have been able to compose such a brilliant work. In addition, the melodiousness of the language is reminiscent of The Tale of Tsar Saltan. It is impossible to confirm or refute the theory, because Ershov destroyed personal diaries and drafts of the fairy tale.

Pyotr Ershov did not invent the wheel. Before him, works of oral folk art with a similar plot were already circulating in the world. Similar tales are found among Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Norwegians. For example, "Seven Foals" tells the story of three shepherd sons guarding the king's horses. The younger brother makes friends with a talking foal who helps him get a princess as his wife. At the beginning of the 20th century, a similar plot was discovered in Chuvash folklore - the fairy tale is called “Ivan and the Daughter of Vodyanoy.”

Children of the 80s were entertained by the Little Little Humpbacked Horse slot machine. For 15 kopecks, the kids tried to win the Firebird's feather, a princess, and a chest of jewelry.

Quotes

“The eldest was a smart kid,
Middle son and this way and that,
The younger one was a complete fool."

“It’s a great misfortune, I don’t argue;
But I can help, I'm burning.
That's why you're in trouble,
That he didn’t listen to me.”

“...And sooner I myself will perish,
Why, Ivan, will I leave you..."

“Sell two horses if you like,
But don't give up your skate
Not by the belt, not by the hat,
Not for a black woman, listen.
On the ground and underground
He will be your comrade."

Ershov's tale contains a lot of funny, light humor, folk wisdom and cheerful characters. The main characters of “The Little Humpbacked Horse” go through many trials, magical transformations, and find happiness and rewards for their efforts. The main idea of ​​the work, as it should be in Russian fairy tales, is the triumph of truth and justice. The descriptions of the adventures of Ivan and his faithful assistant the Little Humpbacked Horse are fascinating and varied in the story. Only the poetic genre distinguishes the work from Russian folk tales; otherwise, wisdom, unlimited imagination and all kinds of miracles make it similar to oral folk art.

Work test

The famous children's fairy tale “The Little Humpbacked Horse,” written in 1830 by Pyotr Ershov, contains many fairy-tale elements. The author himself constantly pointed out that he wrote down this tale from the words of the narrator, who was a simple peasant. But, of course, Pyotr Ershov made his own literary changes. The characterization of the three brothers from the fairy tale “The Little Humpbacked Horse” will be of interest to both young children and schoolchildren. Of course, each of them has their own role.

Characteristics of the brothers from the fairy tale “The Little Humpbacked Horse”: Danilo

Danilo and Gavrilo lived with their old father and younger brother Ivan in a small village and were engaged in peasant labor. All family members worked in the field from morning to evening, sowing wheat. And after the harvest was harvested, they took it to the city, where they sold it.

The author writes about his older brother that he was a “smart kid.” But the full characteristics of the brothers from the fairy tale “The Little Humpbacked Horse” can be seen by analyzing the actions that they commit. For example, when someone got into the habit of walking in the field and stirring the wheat, the father decided that every night one of the brothers would be guarded. Both Danilo and Gavrilo honestly went on guard duty, but they carried out their service irresponsibly.

The elder brother, taking a pitchfork and an ax on patrol, boldly went to guard the wheat field. But as soon as the stormy night arrived, fear immediately attacked him. He was so scared that even out of fear he decided to bury himself under the hay. Only a day later the elder brother returned home, having first doused himself with water. But he lied, saying that he did not sleep and got wet in the heavy rain. For his excellent service, his father praised his older brother.

Gavrilo - the middle brother in the fairy tale

Pyotr Ershov writes that the middle brother was “this way and that.” On the second night, Gavrilo went on patrol, also taking an ax and a pitchfork. But as soon as night fell, he, too, like his older brother, became afraid. And the middle brother spent the whole night under the neighbor’s fence. Just that night it was frosty. In the morning he knocked on the door and also began to lie that he had not slept all night, had not seen the thief, and had been walking around the field all night. And his father praised him.

Brothers also act dishonestly towards their younger brother. When Danilo saw two beautiful horses that Ivan raised, he and his brother quietly decide to take them, drive them to the city and sell them.

Characteristics of the younger brother

The younger brother, according to the author, was completely “a fool.” But it is he who has to go through many tests. In the first part, he even guarded the wheat field truthfully and therefore was able to catch the thief. The magic mare generously thanked him for his kindness. Even when his brothers deceive him by stealing the stallions, he forgives them. He honestly serves the king in the stables.

Ivan performs many feats when he carries out the orders of the Firebird. But at first the main character of the fairy tale seems so lazy, because his father has difficulty persuading him to go guard the fields, promising to give him peas and beans. With the development of the fairy tale plot, the main character is perceived differently, who can show both courage and ingenuity. At the end of the fairy tale, he becomes the new king in the fairy-tale kingdom-state.

However, both the eldest and middle brother were frightened and spent the night either with the neighbor under the fence or in the hay barn.
Ivan didn’t want to go at all, but they promised to buy him gifts, and he also went on patrol. At night, a mare galloped onto the field, and Ivan ran up to her and jumped on her backwards. The mare could not throw him off and promised to give birth to three horses. Two beautiful ones and one Hunchback, who will be Ivan’s faithful comrade.
Two years have passed. The elder brother Danilo saw two beautiful horses in the booth and decided, together with Gavrila, to take the horses away and sell them in the capital.
Ivan discovers the missing horses and is heartbroken. He sits on the Hunchback and instantly catches up with the brothers. The brothers apologize to him and Ivan agrees to sell the horses.
Night falls and Danila notices a fire in the distance. Ivan goes to the fire and finds the Firebird's feather. Despite the admonitions of the Hunchback, Ivan takes the pen for himself.
The brothers arrive in the capital and lead the horses to the auction. The mayor sees them and reports to the king. The king rushes to look at the horses and buys them for ten caps of silver and five rubles.
The horses do not allow anyone near them and the Tsar takes Ivan into his service.
Part 2.
Ivan settled well in the service of the tsar, but the sleeping man, his boss, began to envy him. The sleeping bag noticed that Ivan did not take care of the horses, but they were still clean. Therefore, the sleeping bag decided to find out what was going on and hid in the stable.
He saw Ivan take out a firebird feather, admire it, and then begin to care for the horses.
The steward reports to the king about the feather and says that Ivan boasted of getting the Firebird itself.
The Tsar gets angry, calls Ivan and demands the Firebird, promising otherwise to impale him.
Sad Ivan returns, but Konyok consoles him and advises him to ask for overseas wine and millet. Ivan receives everything and sets off.
On the eighth day, Ivan arrives in the clearing on the Hunchback. The horse advises Ivan to mix millet and wine and hide under a trough.
At night, many firebirds fly in and Ivan, wearing a mitten, catches one of them. He throws the bird into a bag and brings it to the king. The Tsar makes Ivan eager.
Five weeks later, the steward hears a story about the Tsar Maiden, a relative of the Moon and the Sun, and reports to the Tsar that Ivan boasted of getting her.
The Tsar gets angry again and calls Ivan. He demands that the Tsar Maiden be delivered to him, again promising to impale her.
Ivan is sad again, but even here Konek consoles him. He advises you to ask for a golden tent, a dinner set and various sweets.
Having received what he required, Ivan hits the road again.
On the eighth day, Ivan comes to the ocean shore and pitches his tent. At noon, the Tsar Maiden sails from the ocean, sits by the tent, eats and plays the harp. Ivan criticizes the appearance of the Tsar Maiden, and after listening to the songs, falls asleep. The Horse will scold him. Ivan is crying.
In the morning the Tsar Maiden sails again, but Ivan is on the alert. He runs into the tent, grabs the girl by the braid and shouts at the horse.
Ivan brings the Tsar Maiden to the Tsar and he invites the girl to marry him. But the Tsar Maiden turns away. The Tsar insists and the Tsar Maiden demands to get the ring from the bottom of the ocean. The Tsar sends Ivan to the task, and the Tsar Maiden asks to visit his mother, the Moon, and his brother, the Sun.
The horse consoles Ivan and in the morning they set off.
Part 3.
The Horse flew a hundred thousand miles and took Ivan to the ocean. He warned that there was a whale fish lying across it, which would ask for forgiveness from the Sun.
Ivan sees that there is indeed a whale fish lying across the ocean, and on its back there is a village and the forest is making noise. He rode on the back of a whale. Kit, having learned that they are going as ambassadors to the Sun, asks to put in a good word for him and Ivan promises this.
The Horse reached the place where heaven meets earth and Ivan found himself in heaven. He drove up to the tower of the Tsar Maiden and admired its beauty and the Orthodox cross of stars.
Ivan meets Mesyats Mesyatsovich and says that her daughter asks why she hides her face from her for three days, and why brother sun does not send her a ray.
The Moon is happy that the Tsar Maiden was found, hugs Ivan, and explains that he and the Sun were sad because they lost the Tsar Maiden.
Ivan conveys the whale’s request to the Month, and the Month replies that he swallowed thirty ships and when he gives them freedom, his torment will end.
Ivan says goodbye to the Month and sets off on his way back. The horse warns the villagers to run away and tells the whale about the words of the Moon.
Keith releases the ships and, satisfied, promises to fulfill any request of Ivan. Ivan asks the whale to get the Tsar Maiden's ring.
The whale sends sturgeon in search, but they return with nothing, and they say that only a ruff can carry out this order.
The whale gives the order to deliver the ruffe to him and the dolphins are looking for the ruffe everywhere. They find it with difficulty at the bottom, where Ruff is fighting with crucian carp. Dolphins deliver the ruffe to the whale.
Keith orders the ruff to find the Tsar Maiden's ring. Ruff quickly finds the chest, but it weighs a hundred pounds and he calls the herring for help. But even the herrings could not lift the chest. Then the ruff calls the sturgeon and delivers the chest to the whale.
At this time, Ivan is waiting for the whale on the shore and swearing. But at dawn the whale brings the chest and swims away. Ivan cannot lift the chest, but Little Hunchback easily throws it onto his shoulders.
Four days later, Ivan arrives in the capital.
