Who does not know Cheburashka and the crocodile Gena, Uncle Fedor from Prostokvashino, Kolobok-detectives? They were invented by E.N. Uspensky. This is a wonderful children's writer, who is known not only by children, but also by their parents. Because they also like to read the books of Eduard Nikolaevich. In his work “25 Professions of Masha Filipenko,” a summary of which is given here, the girl was able to give useful advice to adults. And they listened to her. In the world of Assumption, it could not be otherwise. He is a kind person, and everything around him also becomes kind.
Features of the story of Masha
To paraphrase K. Stanislavsky, we can say: “For children, you need to write the same way as for adults. Only better. " This principle distinguishes Eduard Uspensky. His characters are independent, with good logic. Sometimes ignorance of life prompts them to act on the universal principles of morality. This makes his works invaluable for bringing up a harmonious personality in a child.
Once Eduard Nikolaevich, who treats children as adults, thought: “Could a child work in an adult profession?” And thoroughly approached this idea. The result was the story "25 professions of Masha Filipenko." The main characters are a third grader and her friend. They successfully solve adult problems by applying a children's attitude to life. And, it turns out, this was not enough for educated and busy adults! As the saying goes, "the eye is blurred," and everything ingenious is simple.
Clear thinking
The idea of helping a child to adults is based on a very serious principle. Slightly departing from the topic, we recall the science of biomimicry - it studies the structure of the web, the wing of a seagull, the legs of a gecko and other natural technologies. Then, on the basis of the principles laid down in nature, modern innovations are obtained. E. N. Uspensky for the first time drew attention to the child's natural perception of the world around him. In the story, the term "clear thinking" is introduced. It is about moral understanding. Children are cleaner, more than adults. Jesus Christ spoke of the need to be like children.
The plot is as follows: an employee of the Improvement Institute comes to school and selects a suitable candidate for work in some areas where there are insoluble problems. The selection criterion is not great success, but something else. As this “thirty-year-old man” explains, there are particularly clear ones among clear children. Such was the threesome Masha.

The story in the bookstore
Once in a bookstore, where it is always quiet, there was a loud laugh. Laughed a girl holding a story about Masha. To the seller’s calls for silence, she read them an excerpt from a book where the prophetic Oleg was going from one point to another to avenge the unreasonable Khazars. Along the way, it is reported that their villages and fields are two hundred km away. While he condemned them to swords and fires, an inspired wizard headed towards him from another point. Its speed is six kilometers per hour. Question: where will their meeting take place, if one calmly stands under the flying arrows, and the other rushes along the swearing field. The task was invented by A. Pushkin. A minute later the whole store laughed.
So, having heard only an excerpt from the book, everyone wanted to read it in its entirety. By the way, this task is often used in math quizzes and school olympiads. There is a poem sketch based on this episode. In general, in each chapter you can find material for an entertaining lesson. The story is written with great humor. For example, as a boy in love with a girl Nadya Abdurakhmanova, Dima Oleinikov made a hole in his trousers during quiet games. Nadia darned clothes for everyone and darned him, but sewed panties to his trousers. Dima came home, went to bed, and the next morning he discovered the loss. Mom, dad and older brother knocked down while they were looking for his thing. Everyone was late for work, school, and college.

The children are delighted with Masha, they want to be like her, they want to improve something. Girl Tasya reports that she has read all the books of Ouspensky. There is such a review: "Assumption is cool." The practical usefulness of the book is also noted: Masha put a label with an English name on each item and quickly made progress. It is noted that the book is written easily, read in one breath, there are many funny moments.
Older people see the situation from the other side. E. N. Uspensky was able to express criticism of the then system softly and inoffensively, or something. But, nevertheless, it becomes clear what the root of the problem is. You can learn from him to give advice.
Easy and funny - this is the verdict of adults. They add that the story is not so children's that it was boring to read in adulthood. Well, this is understandable - the master wrote!
Among the reviews there are also such: “In vain wasted money. No descriptions of professions, unknowingly. ” I want to tell this mom that she needs to be sorry for the child, not to impose on him a description of the professions. The book is about something else - about cooperation at school, at home, at work, about the unity that we all are like one family in society ...
Here is a very serious review: “Clerical turnovers are faced with children's speech and vernacular, it’s successful and funny. But children cannot appreciate this level. ”
But mothers and fathers will appreciate, and will fall into laughter, and then they will quote at work.
Judging by the reviews, both parents and children are satisfied. We conclude: everyone is advised to read the book "25 professions of Masha Filipenko."
main characters
There are few characters, among them the most striking:
- Masha is a third grader and a girl with uncomplicated thinking.
- Valera Gotovkin is a friend and associate, ready to make laugh, console and rush into battle.
- Ekaterina Richardovna is a teacher who praises the boy for writing off a perfectly completed assignment and is afraid that Masha will be conceited from success.
- Grandfather Valera Gotovkina, general - on time provides assistance in the form of military equipment.
- The grandmother of Dima Oleinikova is able to take care of the whole class, and surrounds Dima with hyper-care.
The relevance of the book
In the story, the world of adults appears as the world of grown up and much forgotten children. It brings parents closer to their children. Moreover, for dads and mothers, some pages seem deeper than they seem at first glance. Discussing the adventures of Masha, the train of thoughts of the child is visible. In a playful way, you can make out the problems of corruption, negligence, sabotage - this is at least. The rationale for the cooperation of large and small people who are riddled with the story will not allow the child to withdraw into himself at a difficult moment in life.
In his book “25 professions of Masha Filipenko,” Ouspensky used a trick when the narration is from a third party. At the same time, he voices the thoughts of children. This helps to form your own opinion about the heroes of the story. The exchange of impressions about the book turns into an interesting conversation.
And finally
The story is not about twenty-five, but about eight professions. But there is an impression of understatement. Now, if Eduard Nikolaevich continued the story! What a wonderful children's series could have been! Of course, the action takes place at the decline of socialism. This is no longer relevant. But we can continue - Masha’s daughter or granddaughter could very well improve something in our days. However, there remains an occasion to dream up with children.
And the author himself asks the guys to send him advice on who Masha could work with. It is evident that he did not want to postpone work on the story for a long time. The book "25 professions of Masha Filipenko", a brief summary and characterization of the heroes of which we examined, has long been published in quotes. We can only wish further creative success to the master of domestic children's literature.
