My favourite fairy tale. "Nutcracker and Mouse king"

Dear Charamelichki all hello!

Very soon there will come light, cozy, very house and orthodox holiday Christmas.
One of my favourite fairy tales, just Christmas story by Ernest Theodor Amadeus Hoffman "Nutcracker and Mouse king".

I cannot precisely answer a question: why this fairy tale became for me Christmas symbol. Symbol of kindness, courage and courage. Symbol real love, beauty and magic.

That moment when the good always overcomes the evil.

I not only read this fairy tale, but with pleasure watched the animated film and also we often go to ballet statement of Tchaikovsky. We even had a tradition with the daughter. Every year, before Christmas we go to opera and ballet theater to this statement.

It is interesting when a story in its different manifestations: the animated film, the ballet or the book – takes equally. There is a wish to read, look without coming off. And, as it seemed to me, the fairy tale is suitable for any age.

It was pleasant to me that the main character Mari – the daughter of the adviser of medicine is covered by surprising events. When hours beat midnight, she fills up with it the dream dreams, and not the dream can at all.



But history begins with that moment, as in Christmas Eve as in one family children receive gifts. Set of different toys. And among children - Mari. She does not get a gift, but her Godfather finds a way out. It gives her an ordinary-looking toy which is called the Nutcracker.

"It is the Nutcracker, - the Godfather Droselmayer told it … - He will click to you nuts.

And Mari was so glad, so glad to receive as a gift. Most likely Mari could make out something like that that usually others do not notice in a usual toy.




But there came night and there came the fairy tale.

Where there is a hostility between the Nutcracker and the Mouse king. And, of course thanks to courage of the Nutcracker and Mari's bravery (she threw into it a shoe) - the mouse king is overthrown.

"A tic-so, a tic - so!
Do not rattle loudly so!
The king mouse hears everything.
Tric-and-track, boom boom!
Well, hours, tune ancient!
Tric-and-track, boom boom!
Well, punch, punch, it is ringing:
The king suits term!"





And charms grow dim. The nutcracker turns into the prince charming. He shows to Mari the kingdom where the Pink lake, the Gingerbread city. As the real paradise for young girls seemed to me.

"... if only you have eyes, you will see the sparkling candied groves, transparent marzipan locks everywhere — a word, any miracles and wonders."





As a result the happy end, the last page of the fairy tale and such chagrin because so there is a wish for continuation.

All thanks for attention!
