If the classics of literature heard the question, what kind of books are there, they probably would be upset. Indeed, before such questions did not arise. Books were the only source of new knowledge. We studied with books, but rested with them. Now these functions are taken over by the Internet on a variety of media. But can he replace the books? We will answer this question after we find out what books are in the library. What can we find in them?
What kind of books are there?
To classify, you need to select criteria. Most often, books in the library are arranged by content, by subject, by author, by "age."
So what are the content books?
Everything is simple here, distinguish:
- scientific publications;
- popular science;
- artistic (called fiction).
We will take out fiction in a separate section and classify it into many more types, but for now we will consider the remaining two types.
Non-fiction are books that describe a separate branch of science: treatises on chemistry and medicine, works on engineering and mathematics, works on philology and logic. This is literature for a narrow circle of specialists, its purpose is to teach new knowledge and improve old ones. Here, probably, it is worth introducing textbooks for schoolchildren and students.
Non-fiction literature also teaches. But she does it in a simpler language. Scientific and popular science literature is easy to distinguish without even opening, by name. If a scientific book about religion will be called “Religion of European Peoples” or “Religious Studies,” then a popular science book will be called “Interesting Facts about the Religion of European Peoples”. Or if the scientific book on programming is "Creating HTML-based sites," then the popular science is "Creating HTML sites without the help of a professional." According to the authors, we will not go deep, everything is clear here. Go to the library, and you will see a number of books by classics - Dostoevsky, Shakespeare, and mass literature, for example, Daria Dontsova.
By "age" books are divided into modern and already outdated. There are still originals and translations.
Fiction
What are the books in the Fiction section? Here we will distribute the tomes by their genres and genera. There are only three kinds of literature : epic, lyrics, and drama. So Aristotle shared the books in his work Poetics, which philologists call the mother of literature.
Epic is mainly historical and folklore works. Lyrics are poetry (poems, songs, poems, novels in verses). It can also be divided into intimate, philosophical, civil.
Drama - dramatic, mostly prose.
Now on the subject, these are:
- detective;
- fantasy;
- love story;
- books for children;
- historical works, etc.
Books for children
Let us dwell on books for children. What are the books for children? Here we single out textbooks (scientific literature, for example, “Physics. Grade 8”), developing (“How to learn to draw in 1 day”), entertaining (stories, fairy tales, children's stories and collections), applied (“Crocheting for children”) .
In any library there is at least a couple of books that can attract attention and interest the child. The main thing is to immerse him in this world of words, teach him to perceive and ponder. Therefore, be sure to take your children to the library, instill interest in books from an early age. Children's memory is clear, like white snow, and let the first steps into science or adventure literature be better reflected on it than the primitive statuses from social networks or phrases from movies and television shows.
What can reverence for books give me?
Your child may ask you this question. We learned what books are. But this did not give us an answer, why read them? The answer is hidden in the books themselves. Apart from the modern "masterpieces" of literature, it is very difficult to find a book that would not teach something. Books educate, explain, warn, warn and carry. And this is only a small part of their capabilities. Empty libraries will be happy to open their arms to you: come, see with your own eyes what books are in the library, choose, study, relax, feel. So why deprive yourself of learning something new or plunge into a completely different era, and new emotions? Enjoy books while they are.
He who reads is developing, enriching vocabulary and knowledge in many areas. A person who reads a lot is much easier to express his thoughts and feelings. People will be drawn to such an interlocutor, they will listen and hear him.
