January 21, Viciebsk Lenin Library held a literary meeting with the Belarusian writer and publicist Franz Sivko. The formal reason for the meeting of the most famous writers of the modern Viciebsk with his readers was the release of his latest book "The plebeian games".
By the meeting, which was held in the premises of local lore literature department, the staff prepared an exhibition of books and publications of the author published in periodicals. Once in the hall housed acquaintances, friends and fans of Franz Sivko, sounded a little record of literary analysis of his work, made by Połacak poet Ales Arkush. Commenting on the remarks made by Ales, Mr Franz pointed out that literary critics, by the way, as well as readers, have every right to dispose of the author's text, which after leaving the press ceases to be the property of the writer and begins to live his own life. Therefore, criticisms of his books and characters have a right to exist, but they do not bother the writer and do not spoil his nerves.
Next Franz I. attempted, as far as possible, open the door to the readers of his creative laboratory. I tried to tell you how rethinking the author's consciousness, life becomes literature.
Quite a friendly attitude to present demonstrated on-screen images, each of which is decorated with his witty writer and original remarks.
As it turned out, a writer for a long time worked as a schoolteacher in Vierchniadźvinsk and Viciebsk, and then a teacher at the local university. Daily care and not a small teaching load did not contribute to the creative activity that requires a lot of time, concentration and privacy. Although the first works began to appear quite early, the real fame came after the release of the 2001 book "Udoh".
I have some fun and present the story of a boy Vasya, who was once a young teacher at the end of its first open lesson asked to share what conclusions he had made of the lessons. Sessions on labor, was to orient the students to the professional choice in the future. Not in the least confusion, with a look full of confidence, not the best student in the class burst out: "Where is the grub there and hang around!"
Before presenting his new book "The plebeian games" Franz recalled Sivko issued earlier. Especially, he spoke warmly about the book "Eden", give a name to that long could not. It would seem that these "Eden" is a whole sea, but in this context, it agrees with the view expressed to him: "Eden – this is the place where we are well and where outsiders are not allowed." That is, in the words of a writer, the writer always want to be understood, but there are times when it is not required, and when it is desirable to briefly hide from everyone.
With a title for the "plebeian games" there were no questions. There were questions of another kind – financial. Their decision to a certain extent contributed to the familiar writer – Alexander, with great gratitude that he introduced to the audience.
In the book, a few works. One of them is called "Cymant" – is posthistory about the life of the relatives of the maniac, who once killed thirty-six women. One of them was once a student of Franz Ivanovich. It struck him, but even more his words struck the mother killed the girl, whom he met when she came to the court.
– And how he behaved in the course of this beast? – I asked the writer.
– Oh, do not tell! When he speaks, the whole hall unwittingly lends itself to the magic of his charming, – said the woman, who never was any sentimentality.
Usually, the appearance is deceptive, especially the first impression is deceptive. Not wanting to give the image of a killer even imaginary halo this hidden charming, creator of the tragedy of the situation passes through images of people close to the maniac and makes this character so uninteresting. Yes, this man killed, but he brought home valuable things, throw them in a box, and his children those golden toys sometimes amused. And his wife made one of the crown ...
According to the creator, despite the fact that the issue is complicated, but written easily. Now I wondering how to react to such an approach to the representation of reality reader. In general, the writer really is the theme of revenge and forgiveness, bored ostentatious philanthropy.
However, no matter how hard you try to convey the atmosphere of the meeting – it's almost meaningless. Therefore, to meet more often with creative people, get acquainted with their works, enrich the spiritual and emotional as well as participants from the Viciebsk novelist Franz Sivko.
At the end of the celebration of the creative chairman of the Viciebsk branch of the Union of Belarusian Writers Anastasia Lazebnaya gave Franz Ivanovich batik, written by his own hand.
