2024 Author: Richard Flannagan | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-15 23:55
Ivan Urgant was born and raised in an intelligent family, where from childhood he was instilled in him a love for art in general and for literature in particular. New books appeared in the house constantly thanks to the mother of the future showman, who bought up all children's works published in Soviet times. Ivan Urgant even today, despite his very busy work schedule, tries to find time to read and gladly recommends his favorite works to his fans.
Victor Dragunsky, Tove Jansson and Astrid Lindgren
Ivan Urgant recommends to parents of babies to instill good literary taste in their heirs from childhood. The presenter is sure that the stories of Viktor Dragunsky can captivate any child, and it will be very useful to get acquainted with how their peers lived without the Internet and mobile phones.
Tove Jansson and Astrid Lindgren are on the list of children's authors recommended by Ivan Urgant. According to the showman, the fairy tales of Astrid Lindgren need to be re-read by adults, because there are no more poignant works.
Daniil Kharms
Ivan Urgant highlights the works of his fellow countryman Daniil Kharms in a separate line. And in this regard, many are ready to support the famous presenter. It is simply impossible not to fall in love with his stunning poems, full of subtle humor and deep meaning, and it is absolutely impossible to ignore the prose of Daniil Kharms. Each word in his works carries a deep semantic load and works for the special harmony of his syllable.
Jonathan Littell
The Russian showman strongly advises everyone to read the works of the modern French writer Jonathan Littell. Ivan Urgant especially insists on reading the historical novel "The Benefactor", which is distinguished by its depth and power of influence on the reader. The work became a bestseller in France and won two of the most prestigious French literature awards: the Grand Prix of the Académie Française and the Goncourt Prize.
Sergey Dovlatov
Ivan Urgant has repeatedly said in his interviews that an ardent love for the works of Sergei Dovlatov, as he grew up, grew into a very real enduring love. The presenter calls the writer one of the wittiest emigrants who moved to America from the Soviet Union. Ivan Urgant explains his love for Dovlatov by the similarity of his views with those of Sergei Donatovich. The showman admits to nostalgia for the St. Petersburg that Dovlatov describes in his books, and he is also impressed by the sparkling Dovlatov humor.
Especially close to him is the collection of short stories "Compromise", which describes twelve cases from journalistic practice. In "Compromise", according to the showman, everything is fine. The stories about the backstage life of the newspaper "Soviet Estonia" are very lively and vivid thanks to the special syllable. Recommended for reading by Ivan Urgant and other works by Sergei Dovlatov: "Reserve", "Zone", "March of the Lonely". However, all the works of this author can be re-read in any order. At the same time, something new will open every time.
Alexander Pushkin and Nikolai Gogol
Naturally, the Russian classics do not go unnoticed by Ivan Urgant, and the host calls Pushkin's "Belkin's Tales" his most beloved work. He told about this in his interview, which he gave to Vladimir Pozner. Then the showman admitted that he simply adores Gogol. But it would be ridiculous to recommend these authors, because it is simply a shame not to read their works.
Cameron Crowe
Cameron Crowe's book "Meet Billy Wilder" has become one of those works that the showman liked lately. The Oscar-winning American director and screenwriter for his screenplay for Almost Famous tells the story of his conversations with the legendary filmmaker Billy Wilder, which in itself was instructive and interesting for Urgant.
The grandson of the famous Soviet actress Nina Urgant today is one of the most successful and sought-after showmen in Russia. Since 1999, he has been broadcasting television, making his debut in this capacity in "Petersburg Courier" on Channel Five, and today he has his own author's program and many other projects.
