Pippi longstocking and big politics. Biography and plot Who wrote the tale of Pippi Longstocking author

Pippi longstocking

Name Pippi invented by Astrid Lindgren's daughter, Karin. The established Russian transfer of the name "Pippi" instead of the transcription "Pippi" (Swedish Pippi) was proposed by the first translation by LZ Lungina in order to avoid dirty connotations in Russian.

Characters (edit)

Pippi Longstocking is independent and does whatever she wants. For example, she sleeps with her feet on the pillow and with her head under the covers, wears colorful stockings when she returns home, backs away because she doesn't want to turn around, rolls the dough right on the floor and keeps the horse on the veranda.

She is incredibly strong and agile, even though she is only nine years old. She carries her own horse in her arms, defeats the famous and arrogant circus strongman Adolf, scatters a whole company of hooligans to the sides, breaks off the horns of a ferocious bull, deftly exposes two police officers from her own house who came to her to forcibly take her to the orphanage, and throws on the closet of two thieves who decided to rob her. However, there is no cruelty in Pippi's reprisals. She is extremely generous to her defeated enemies. She treats the disgraced police with freshly baked heart-shaped gingerbread. And embarrassed thieves who worked out their invasion of someone else's house by dancing with Pippi Twist all night, she generously awards gold coins, this time honestly earned.

Peppy is not only extremely strong, she is also incredibly rich. It costs her nothing to buy a hundred kilos of candy and a toy store for all the children in town, but she herself lives in an old, dilapidated house, wears a single dress made from colorful rags and the only pair of shoes her father bought her to grow.

But the most amazing thing about Pippi is her vivid and violent fantasy, which manifests itself in the games that she comes up with, and in amazing stories about different countries where she visited with her dad, the captain, and in endless pranks, the victims of which become neglected adults. Pippi takes any of his stories to the point of absurdity: a mischievous maid bites guests by the legs, a long-eared Chinese man hides under his ears in the rain, and a capricious child refuses to eat from May to October. Peppy gets very upset if someone says that she is lying, because lying is not good, she just sometimes forgets about it.

Peppy is a child's dream of strength and nobility, wealth and generosity, freedom and selflessness. But for some reason the adults Pippi do not understand. And the pharmacist, and the school teacher, and the director of the circus, and even the mother of Tommy and Annika are angry with her, teach, educate. Apparently, this is why, more than anything, Pippi does not want to grow up:

“Adults never have fun. They always have a lot of boring jobs, stupid dresses and cumin taxes. And they are also crammed with prejudice and all sorts of nonsense. They think it’s a terrible misfortune if you put a knife in your mouth while eating, and so on. ”

But "Who said that you need to become an adult?" No one can force Peppy to do what she does not want!

The books about Pippi Longstocking are full of optimism and unchanging belief in the very best.

Peppilotta (Pippi for short) Longstocking proved to the girls of the world that the weaker sex is in no way inferior to boys. The Swedish writer endowed her beloved heroine with heroic strength, taught her to shoot from a revolver, made the city the main rich woman, who is able to treat all children with a bag of candy.

Peppy Longstocking

A girl with carrot-colored hair, in multi-colored stockings, shoes "for growth" and a dress made from scraps of fabric, has a rebellious character - she is not afraid of robbers and representatives of internal organs, spits on the laws of adults and teaches young readers about humanity. Peppy seems to say: being yourself is a great luxury and a unique pleasure.

History of creation

Red-haired girl Pippi brought world fame to her creator Astrid Lindgren. Although the character appeared completely by accident - at the beginning of the 40s, the future literary star, who in the future will give the world a fat prankster as well, her daughter Karin became seriously ill. Before going to bed, Astrid invented various wonderful stories for the child, and once received the task to tell about the life of the girl Pippi Longstocking. The daughter herself invented the name of the heroine, and initially it sounded "Pippi", but in the Russian translation the dissonant word was altered.

Gradually, evening after evening, Pippi began to acquire individual features, and her life was filled with adventure. The Swedish storyteller tried to incorporate into the stories an innovative idea of ​​raising children that emerged at that time. According to the advice of newly minted psychologists, offspring should be given more freedom and listen to their opinions and feelings. That is why Pippi turned out to be so headstrong, violating the rules of the adult world.

For several years, Astrid Lindgren wrapped her fantasy in the wrapper of evening fairy tales, until she finally decided to write it down on paper. The stories, where a couple of other characters - the boy Tommy and the girl Annika - settled, turned into a book with illustrations by the author. The manuscript flew to a large publishing house in Stockholm, where, however, it did not find admirers - Pippi Longstocking was mercilessly rejected.

But the writer was warmly received in "Raben and Shergen", having published the first work in 1945. It was the story "Pippi settles in the" Chicken "villa. The heroine immediately became popular. After that, two more books and several stories were born, which were bought up like hot cakes.

Later, the Danish storyteller admitted that the girl bears her character traits: as a child, Astrid was the same restless inventor. In general, the characterization of the character is a horror story for adults: a 9-year-old child does what he pleases, easily copes with formidable men, carries a heavy horse.

Biography and plot

Pippi Longstocking is an unusual lady, like her biography. Once in a small, unremarkable Swedish town in an old abandoned villa "Chicken", a freckled girl with red braids raised upward settled. She lives here without adult supervision in the company of a horse, which stands on the veranda, and a monkey, Mr. Nilson. Mother left the world when Pippi was still a baby, and a father named Ephraim Longstocking served as the captain of a ship that crashed. The man ended up on the island, where the black aborigines called him their leader.

Pippi Longstocking and her monkey Mr. Nilsson

The heroine of the Swedish fairy tale tells this legend to her new friends, brother and sister Tommy and Annika Settergren, whom she met upon arrival in the city. Peppy got excellent genes from her father. The physical strength is so great that the girl drives out the police officers who came to send the orphan to the orphanage from the house. Leaves an angry bull without horns. The strongman from the circus wins at the fair. And the robbers who have climbed into her home, throws it on the closet.

And Pippi Longstocking is incredibly rich, for which you should also thank your dad. The daughter inherited a chest with gold, which the heroine is happy to spend. The girl does not go to school, she prefers dangerous and exciting adventures to boring pursuits. Moreover, studies are no longer needed, because Pippi is an expert on the customs of different countries of the world, which she visited with her father.

Pippi Longstocking is raising a Horse

During sleep, the girl puts her feet on the pillow, rolls the baking dough right on the floor, and on her birthday she not only accepts gifts, but also gives surprises to the guests. The inhabitants of the city watch in amazement as the child backs away when walking, because in Egypt this is the only way to walk.

Tommy and Annika fell in love with their new friend with all their hearts, with whom it is impossible to get bored. Children constantly find themselves in funny troubles and unpleasant situations. In the evenings, together with Pippi, they make their favorite dishes - waffles, baked apples, pancakes. By the way, the red-haired girl makes pancakes great, turning them right in the air.

Pippi Longstocking, Tommy and Annika

But one day the friends were almost separated by the father who came for Pippi. The man really turned out to be the leader of the tribe of the distant island country of Veselia. And if earlier the neighbors considered the main character to be an inventor and a liar, now they immediately believed in all her fables.

In the last book from the original Lindgren trilogy, the parents let Tommy and Annika go on vacation to Veselia, where the children, in the company of the inimitable Pippi Longstocking, who became a Negro princess, received a scattering of unforgettable emotions.

Screen adaptations

The Swedish-German multi-part film, which was released in 1969, is considered canonical. The name of the actress became famous all over the world - Pippi was believably played by Inger Nilsson. The embodied image turned out to be the closest to the bookish girl-prankster, and the plot differs little from the original. In Russia, the film did not find love and recognition.

Inger Nilsson as Pippi Longstocking

But Soviet audiences fell in love with Pippi, who starred in a two-part musical film directed by Margarita Mikaelyan in 1984. Famous actors were involved in the production: on the set they met (Miss Rosenblum), (rogue Blom), (Peppi's father), and Svetlana Stupak plays Peppilotta. The picture was filled with catchy compositions (which is only "Pirates' song"!) And circus tricks, which added charm to the film.

Svetlana Stupak as Pippi Longstocking

The role of Pippi for Svetlana Stupak was the first and last in the cinema. The girl at first did not pass the casting: the director rejected her for her blonde hair and adult appearance - Sveta did not pull at a 9-year-old child. But the young actress got a second chance. The girl was asked to imagine herself as the daughter of the leader of a Negro tribe, to show spontaneity and enthusiasm.

Tami Erin as Pippi Longstocking

Stupak coped with the task, showing the cinema bison a stunning trick that does not require the participation of understudies. The filmmakers decided to shoot her, which they later regretted: Sveta's character turned out to be even worse than the main character of the fairy tale. The director either grabbed the validol or wanted to take the belt in her hands.

In 1988, the red-haired beast reappeared on television screens. This time the USA and Sweden have teamed up to create the film "The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking". Tami Erin first appeared in the movie.

The Canadian TV series, released at the end of the last century, became a striking animated film. Peppy's voice was given by Melissa Altro. The directors took no liberties and followed the literary template carefully created by the Swedish storyteller.

• Acting fate for Inger Nilsson also did not work out - the woman worked as a secretary.
• In Sweden, on the island of Djurgården, a museum of fairy-tale heroes Astrid Lindgren was built. Here, the house of Pippi Longstocking awaits for a visit, in which it is allowed to run, jump, climb and ride a horse named Horse.

• The stage is not complete without such a bright character. On New Year's holidays in 2018, in the capital's theater center "Cherry Orchard", children are expected to see the play "Pippi Longstocking", staged in the best Vakhtangov traditions. Director Vera Annenkova promises deep content and circus entertainment.

Peppy is a little red-haired freckled girl who lives alone in the "Chicken" villa in a small Swedish town with her animals: the monkey Mr. Nilsson and the horse. Peppy is the daughter of Captain Ephraim Longstocking, who later became the leader of the black tribe. From her father, Pippi inherited fantastic physical strength, as well as a suitcase with gold, which allows her to exist comfortably. Peppy's mother died when she was still a baby. Peppy is sure that she has become an angel and looks at her from the sky ( “My mom is an angel and dad is a black king. Not every child has such noble parents ").

Peppy "adopts", but rather, comes up with a variety of customs from different countries and parts of the world: when walking backward, walk the streets upside down, "because your feet are hot when you walk on a volcano, and you can put on your hands in mittens."

Peppy's best friends are Tommy and Annika Söttergren, children of ordinary Swedish people. In Peppy's company, they often get into trouble and funny alterations, and sometimes - real adventures. Attempts by friends or adults to influence disorderly Pippi do not lead to anything: she does not go to school, is illiterate, familiar, and always writes fables. However, Pippi has a kind heart and a good sense of humor.

Pippi Longstocking is one of Astrid Lindgren's most fantastic heroines. She is independent and does whatever she wants. For example, she sleeps with her feet on the pillow and with her head under the covers, wears colorful stockings when she returns home, backs away because she doesn't want to turn around, rolls the dough right on the floor and keeps the horse on the veranda.

She is incredibly strong and agile, even though she is only nine years old. She carries her own horse in her arms, defeats the famous circus strongman, scatters a whole company of hooligans to the sides, breaks off the horns of a ferocious bull, deftly exposes two police officers from her own house who came to her to forcibly take her to the orphanage, and instantly throws two onto the closet smashed the thieves who decided to rob her. However, there is no cruelty in Pippi's reprisals. She is extremely generous to her defeated enemies. She treats the disgraced police with freshly baked gingerbread in the shape of hearts. And the embarrassed thieves who have worked out their intrusion into a strange house by dancing with Pippi Twist all night, she generously rewards with gold coins, this time honestly earned.

Peppy is not only extremely strong, she is also incredibly rich. It costs her nothing to buy for all the children in the city "a hundred kilos of candy" and a whole toy store, but she herself lives in an old dilapidated house, wears a single dress made from colorful patches, and the only pair of shoes her father bought her "for growth." ...

But the most amazing thing about Pippi is her bright and violent fantasy, which manifests itself in the games that she comes up with, and in amazing stories about different countries where she visited with her dad-captain, and in endless practical jokes, the victims of which become idiots. adults. Pippi takes any of his stories to the point of absurdity: a mischievous maid bites guests by the legs, a long-eared Chinese man hides under his ears in the rain, and a capricious child refuses to eat from May to October. Peppy gets very upset if someone says that she is lying, because lying is not good, she just sometimes forgets about it.

Peppy is a child's dream of strength and nobility, wealth and generosity, freedom and selflessness. But for some reason the adults Pippi do not understand. And the pharmacist, and the school teacher, and the director of the circus, and even the mother of Tommy and Annika are angry with her, teach, educate. Apparently, therefore, more than anything in the world, Pippi does not want to grow up:

“Adults never have fun. They always have a lot of boring jobs, stupid dresses and cumin taxes. And they are also crammed with prejudice and all sorts of nonsense. They think it’s a terrible misfortune if you put a knife in your mouth while eating, and so on. ”

But "Who said that you need to become an adult?" No one can force Peppy to do what she does not want!

Astrid Lindgren wrote the fairy tale night after night about the girl Pippi for her daughter Karin, who was ill at the time. The name for the main character, long and difficult to pronounce for a Russian person, was invented by the writer's daughter herself.

This tale turned sixty years old in 2015, and we present its summary. Pippi Longstocking, the heroine of this fantastic story, has been loved in our country since 1957.

A little about the author

Astrid Lindgren is the daughter of two Swedish farmers and grew up in a large and very close-knit family. She settled the heroine of a fairy tale in a small dull town, where life goes on smoothly, and nothing changes. The writer herself was an extremely active person. at her request and the support of the majority of the population, he adopted a law according to which it is impossible to offend pets. Below will be presented to your attention the theme of the tale and its summary. Pippi Longstocking, the main characters, Annika and Tommy, will also be featured. In addition to them, we also love the Kid and Carlson, who were invented by the world famous writer. She received the most cherished award for every storyteller - the H.K. Andersen.

What Peppy and her friends look like

Peppy is only nine years old. She is tall, thin and very strong. Her hair is bright red and burns like a flame in the sun. The nose is small, potatoes, and all covered with freckles.

Pippi walks in stockings of different colors and huge black shoes, which she sometimes adorns. Annika and Tommy, who became friends with Pippi, are the most ordinary neat and exemplary children who want adventure.

At the Villa "Chicken" (chapters I - XI)

Brother and sister Tommy and Annika Settergegen lived opposite an abandoned house, which stood in a neglected garden. They went to school, and then, having done their homework, they played croquet in their yard. They were very bored and dreamed of having an interesting neighbor. And now their dream came true: a red-haired girl with a monkey named Mr. Nilsson settled in the "Chicken" villa. It was brought by a real sea ship. Her mother died a long time ago and looked at her daughter from the sky, and her father, the sea captain, was washed away during the storm by a wave, and he, as Pippi thought, became the Negro king on the lost island.

With the money the sailors gave her, and it was a heavy chest with gold coins, which the girl carried like a feather, she bought herself a horse, which she settled on the terrace. This is the very beginning of a wonderful story, its summary. Pippi Longstocking is a kind, fair and extraordinary girl.

Acquaintance with Peppy

The new girl walked down the street with her back forward. Annika and Tommy asked her why she was doing this. “This is how they go in Egypt,” the strange girl lied. And she added that in India they generally walk on their hands. But Annika and Tommy were not at all embarrassed by such a lie, because it was a funny invention, and they went to visit Pippi.

She baked pancakes for her new friends and treated them to glory, at least one egg she broke on her head. But I was not taken aback, but immediately came up with the idea that in Brazil everyone smears their heads with eggs so that their hair grows faster. The whole fairy tale consists of such harmless stories. We will only retell a few of them as this is a summary. Pippi Long Stocking, a fairy tale full of various events, can be borrowed from the library.

How Peppy surprises all the townspeople

Pippi knows how not only to tell, but also to act very quickly and unexpectedly. A circus has arrived in the city - this is a great event. Together with Tommy and Annika, she went to the show. But during the performance she could not sit still. Together with the circus girl, she jumped on the back of a horse racing across the arena, then climbed under the dome of the circus and walked along the rope, she also laid the strongest man in the world on his shoulder blades and even threw him into the air several times. They wrote about her in the newspapers, and the whole city found out what an unusual girl lives in it. Only the thieves, who decided to rob her, did not know about it. It was bad for them! Peppy also saved the kids who were on the top floor of a burning house. A lot of adventures happens with Peppy in the pages of the book. This is just a summary. Pippi Longstocking is the best girl in the world.

Peppy is getting ready for the road (chapters I - VIII)

In this part of the book, Pippi managed to go to school, take part in a school trip, punish the bully at the fair. This shameless man scattered all his sausages at the old salesman. But Peppy punished the bully and made him pay for everything. And in the same part her dear and beloved dad returned to her.

He invited her to travel the seas with him. This is a completely quick retelling of the story of Pippi and her friends, a summary of "Pippi Longstocking" chapter by chapter. But the girl will not leave Tommy and Annika in anguish, she will take them with her, with the consent of their mother, to hot countries.

On the island of the country of Veselia (chapters I - XII)

Before leaving for the warm lands at Pippi, the impudent and respectable gentleman wanted to buy her villa "Chicken" and destroy everything on it.

Peppy dealt with him quickly. She also "put in a puddle" the harmful Miss Rosenblum, who handed out gifts, by the way, boring, to the best, as she believed, children. Then Pippi gathered all the offended children and presented each of them with a large bag of caramel. All except the evil Miss were satisfied. And then Peppy, Tommy and Anika went to the country of Veselia. There they swam, caught pearls, dealt with the pirates and returned home full of impressions. This is a perfect summary of Pippi Longstocking by chapters. Very briefly, because it is much more interesting to read about all the adventures yourself.
