Pippi Longstocking (Swedish. Pippi Långstrump, full name of Peppilotta Viktualia Rulgardin Krismint Efraimsdotter Longstocking, Swede .. Pippilotta Viktualia Rullgardina Krusmynta Efraimsdotter Långstrump's book series) is the central character of the Astrump book series. The name Pippi was coined by Astrid Lindgren's daughter, Karin. In Swedish, the name of the heroine sounds like Pippi Longstocking. The translator Lilianna Lungina decided to change the name of Pippi to Pippi in translation because of the possible unpleasant semantic connotations of the original name for a native Russian speaker, and this translation was settled later.

Peppy is a little red-haired freckled girl who lives alone in the "Chicken" villa, in a small Swedish town, together with her animals: the monkey Mr. Nielson and a horse. Peppy is the daughter of Captain Ephraim Longstocking, who later became the leader of the black tribe. From her father, Pippi inherited fantastic physical strength, as well as a suitcase with gold, which allows her to exist comfortably. Peppy's mother died when she was still a baby. Pippi is sure that she has become an angel and is looking at her from heaven ("My mother is an angel, and my father is a Negro king. Not every child has such noble parents"). Who is Peppy?

Slide Description:

Pippi "adopts", but rather, comes up with a variety of customs from different countries and parts of the world: when walking backward, walk the streets upside down, "because your feet are hot when you walk on a volcano, and you can put on your hands in mittens." Peppy's best friends are Tommy and Annika Settergren, children of ordinary Swedish people. In the company of Peppy, they often get into trouble and funny alterations, and sometimes in real adventures. Attempts by friends or adults to influence disorderly Pippi do not lead to anything: she does not go to school, is illiterate, familiar, and always writes fables. Nevertheless, Pippi has a good heart and a good sense of humor.

Name Pippi invented by Astrid Lindgren's daughter, Karin. The established Russian transfer of the name "Pippi" instead of the transcription "Pippi" (Swedish Pippi) was proposed by the first translation by LZ Lungina in order to avoid obscene connotations in Russian.

Characters (edit)

Pippi Longstocking is independent and does whatever she wants. For example, she sleeps with her feet on the pillow and with her head under the covers, wears colorful stockings when she returns home, backs away because she doesn't want to turn around, rolls the dough right on the floor and keeps the horse on the veranda.

She is incredibly strong and agile, even though she is only nine years old. She carries her own horse in her arms, defeats the famous circus strongman, scatters a whole group of hooligans to the sides, breaks off the horns of a ferocious bull, deftly exposes two police officers from her own house who came to her to forcibly take her to the orphanage, and instantly throws two onto the closet thieves who decided to rob her. However, there is no cruelty in Pippi's reprisals. She is extremely generous to her defeated enemies. She treats the disgraced police with freshly baked heart-shaped gingerbread. And embarrassed thieves who worked out their invasion of someone else's house by dancing with Pippi Twist all night, she generously rewards gold coins, this time honestly earned.

Peppy is not only extremely strong, she is also incredibly rich. It costs her nothing to buy a hundred kilos of candy and a toy store for all the children in town, but she herself lives in an old dilapidated house, wears a single dress made from colorful patches and the only pair of shoes her father bought her to grow.

But the most amazing thing about Pippi is her vivid and violent fantasy, which manifests itself in the games that she comes up with, and in amazing stories about different countries where she visited with her dad-captain, and in endless pranks, the victims of which become neglectful- adults. Pippi takes any of his stories to the point of absurdity: a mischievous maid bites guests by the legs, a long-eared Chinese man hides under his ears in the rain, and a capricious child refuses to eat from May to October. Peppy gets very upset if someone says that she is lying, because lying is not good, she just sometimes forgets about it.

Peppy is a child's dream of strength and nobility, wealth and generosity, freedom and selflessness. But for some reason the adults Pippi do not understand. And the pharmacist, and the school teacher, and the director of the circus, and even the mother of Tommy and Annika are angry with her, teach, educate. Apparently, this is why, more than anything, Pippi does not want to grow up:

“Adults never have fun. They always have a lot of boring jobs, stupid dresses and cumin taxes. And they are also crammed with prejudice and all sorts of nonsense. They think it’s a terrible misfortune if you put a knife in your mouth while eating, and so on. ”

But "Who said that you need to become an adult?" No one can force Peppy to do what she does not want!

The books about Pippi Longstocking are full of optimism and unchanging belief in the very best.

    Hello everyone !!! HELP !!! Dear accomplices, please help me with advice !!! I don’t know where to start? What to "try"?) Daughter 2.11. To tell...

Pippi Longstocking - or Pippi Longstocking - is 70 years old. The number of her incarnations is enormous: movies, musicals, plays, television series, comics and coloring books. Every children's store in Scandinavia has Pippi dolls, a muzzle with two red pigtails smiles on boots, T-shirts and cookie cutters. For 70 years, Pippi has been endowed with a variety of characteristics and analyzed in different ways.

On the main page of the Swedish state website, the top 10 Swedish superwomen are among the main values ​​of modern society. Among the superheroines of our time - Oscar-winning Alicia Vikander (winner in the category supporting role, the film "The Girl from Denmark"), the creator of Uber taxi Babba Canales, 14-year-old fashion blogger Lisa Johnson, journalist, refugee expert Suad Ali and Crown Princess Victoria ... Strong, successful women are a special pride of Swedish society, a branded national product.

Along with today's heroines in the "culture" section, a literary character - Pippi Longstocking, the heroine of Astrid Lidgren - occupies a place of honor. Peppy is designated as a role model for active women, the heroine of the struggle for gender equality.

In a naughty red-haired girl with freckles with a suitcase of money, eccentric behavior and remarkable strength, they also saw the portrait of the author, Astrid Lindgren, with her megalomania, desire for elevation in society, and a transvestite boy and a child with deviant behavior (ADHD - Attention Deficit Disorder and hyperactivity - in Sweden it bears the name Pippi Longstocking), and the forerunner of Harry Potter, and the super-hero, and the reincarnation of a witch from Scandinavian legends, and the older sister Lisbeth Salander, "The Girls with the Dragon Tattoo." Political parties and movements have literally been tearing Pippi apart for all these years. She became a symbol of post-war modernism, a fresh sip in the atmosphere of the rotten ideals of bourgeois society that had compromised themselves during the war. This girl made the Swedish society look at children in a different way, to listen to the idea of ​​the Swedish teacher Ellen Kay, who published at the beginning of the 20th century a manifesto book "The Age of the Child" with an appeal not to impose knowledge on the child, but to support him on the path of learning and research. The children's fairy tale caused a reaction in the strength of its impact comparable to the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Françoise Dolto or Maria.

Immediately after the publication of the book, Pippi and her creator Astrid Lindgren received a wave of criticism. Christian politicians accused the heroine of selfishness, the right - of overthrowing the order and offending adults, the left - of excessive individualism and lack of collectivism. But the Swedish feminists accepted Pippi with a bang. They decided that Pippi is the very happy girl who literally from the cradle has the necessary conditions for female independence: her own funds and her own room, that is, an ideal environment as defined by Virginia Woolf. And Peppy, moreover, does not even have a room, but her own villa "Chicken" and a suitcase of money.

In the 1970s and 1980s, a mass fad spread in Sweden: actresses, screenwriters, artists, directors, writers, singers - in short, everyone who considered themselves to be free creative personalities - dyed their hair red. "If you see a woman with red hair on the street, then she is a feminist."- says Eva Soderberg, professor at Stockholm University, researcher of children's literature.

All feminists of that time considered Pippi to be their symbol. Naughty, unpredictable, fabulously strong and independent, with a wide gender range from "real lady" to pirate, Pippi has become a symbol of the women's movement in Scandinavia.

Eva Soderbergh has been studying Pippi for over 20 years. Her study is a real library with many editions of Pippi's adventures and a selection of Scandinavian children's literature. All borrowings, roots, interpretations, political manipulations associated with the image of Pippi are immediately analyzed and classified.

- But this is not my Peppy, not real, - Professor Söderberg confesses sadly. - Behind all these interpretations and political actions (for example, in the 1994 elections, for example, the feminist party spoke under the slogan "Let's support the stockings!" A long stocking and "blue stockings" of the 19th century, or when, at the opening of the Swedish pavilion at Worldexpo in Shanghai in 2010, the Swedish minister met guests in a Peppy costume) few people remember and realize that this is actually a literary character ... And besides, a girl, not a woman.

According to the researcher, the boom in Pippi's popularity, comics and coloring books did their job: the popularization of Pippi unwittingly distorted her image. Feminists see her as a grown woman. And they analyze her behavior from the perspective of a woman, not a girl.

Comic and coloring book publishers, on the other hand, make Pippi younger. In the first adventure book, the girl is 9 years old, then she grows older: Peppy is 12 years old, when the three of them with Tommy and Annika vow not to grow up anymore. In comics and coloring books, the heroine is at least 6 years old.

What about this, I wonder, thought Astrid Lindgren herself? It turns out that the author preferred not to get involved in the discussion and not to speak with explanations. Eva Soderberg tells how she once decided to call Astrid Lindgren:

“It was in 1982 when we, two students at Uppsala University, were writing a work on the topic of death in Scandinavian children's literature. This was the last taboo to crack down on children's literature in the 1960s. Until that time, only grandparents or animals died in children's books. Lindgren was one of the first to break this taboo. Her Peppy, for example, is a girl whose mother is an angel. And in the tale about two brothers there is a scene of a boy fighting a dragon - and a sick boy falls out of the window. I wanted to talk to the author about the topic of childhood suicide. So I opened the telephone directory and began to turn the pages alphabetically. And indeed, I found Astrid Lindgren's phone. It was amazing, after so many years of all this fuss and fame, her number was still in the yellow pages!

- And I called, - says Professor Söderberg. - The phone was picked up almost instantly, I introduced myself. “I'm listening,” Astrid Lindgren replied. "How could you explain this episode in your book?" - I began. “There is no way I can explain the episode in my book,” Lindgren replied. The conversation ended.

Today, Eva Soderberg sadly states that all modern young Swedes have known Pippi since childhood, but few of them have actually read the entire trilogy. Film, performances, comics have replaced the original.

Eva Soderberg believes that against the background of the catastrophically low level of reading of modern Swedish society, the Pippi trilogy has every chance of becoming a national superhit again:

- Students read little, and if they do, then they read very short texts, they have a very modest vocabulary. After all, reading, like all other disciplines, needs to be learned. Now in Sweden they talk a lot about this problem: computers, instant messengers, games, sports have taken up the time that used to be spent on reading. But I think that right now the moment has come when society returns to the text.

According to Eve, thick books and novels simply have no competitors in such matters as the sensual, emotional development of the personality, the ability to empathize with other people, and penetrate their inner world. No simulator is capable of such a powerful effect as ordinary text printed on paper.

- The ability to immerse yourself in another person, the ability to understand what other people think and feel, gives only reading! - convinced Professor Söderberg.

Why did Eva Soderberg herself fall in love with Pippi Longstocking?

- I really like Peppy. She has an excellent sober mind, she sees people through and through and very accurately judges what is happening. She has a great sense of humor, you will not get bored with her. She is a loyal friend. And she always has coffee and cookies for all occasions! - laughs Eve.

And she tells how at one international conference a very serious lady-scientist confessed to her that thanks to Pippi she learned that her father could laugh. A serious, stern, cold-looking person, he never played or joked with his daughter. The girl was nine years old, she caught a cold and was lying in bed, her father went to her room to read a book. This book was "Pippi settles in the" Chicken "villa. My father began to read and laughed. So the daughter heard him laugh for the first time in her life.

- In today's society, in the era of neoliberalism and individualism, Pippi again demonstrates to us that she is an incomparable children's hero, - sure Professor Söderberg. - She organizes her life and survives alone. But at the same time, Pippi is not egocentric: when her father returns from the voyage and calls his daughter with him to the country of Veselia, she invites her friends, Tommy and Annika, with her.

The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking Trilogy was created by Astrid Lindgren from 1945 to 1948. An incredible story about a girl with red pigtails brought the writer worldwide fame. Today her Peppilotta is one of the most recognizable characters in world culture. The story about Pippi simply could not be bad, because it was originally invented for the most dear person - for her daughter.

Part one: Peppy arrives at the Chicken Villa

The life of the children of a small Swedish town was calm and measured. On weekdays, they went to school, on weekends they walked in the yard, fell asleep in their warm beds and obeyed dad and mom. This is how Tommy and Annika Settergren lived. But sometimes, playing in their garden, they still sadly dreamed of friends. “What a pity,” Annika sighed, “that no one lives in the house next door.” "It's great," Tommy agreed, "if the kids were there."

One day the dream of the young Settergrens came true. A very unusual tenant appeared in the house opposite - a nine-year-old girl named Pippi Longstocking.

Peppy was a very unusual child. First, she came to town alone. She was accompanied only by the nameless horse and the monkey Mr. Nilsson. Pippi's mother died many years ago, her father - Efroim Longstocking - a former navigator, Thunderstorm of the Seas - disappeared without a trace during a shipwreck, but Pippi is convinced that he reigns on some Negro island. Peppi's full name is Peppilotta Victualia Rolgardin Crisminta Efraimsdotter, until she was nine years old she traveled with her father across the seas, and now she decided to settle at the Chicken Villa.

Leaving the ship, Pippi took nothing, except for two things - Mr. Nilson's monkey and a box of gold. Oh yes! Peppy possesses tremendous physical strength - so the girl carried the heavy box playfully. When the slender figure of Peppy was removed, the entire ship's crew almost cried, but the proud baby did not turn around. She turned a corner, brushed away a tear with a swift movement, and went off to buy a horse.

When Tommy and Annika first saw Peppy, they were very surprised. She was not in the least like other girls in the town - carrot-colored hair braided in tight protruding pigtails, a freckled nose, a homemade dress made of red and green patches, high stockings (one black, the other brown - whatever they found) and black shoes in several sizes more (as Pippi later explained, his father bought them for growth).

The brother and sister ran into Pippi as she walked backwards as usual. To the question "why are you backing away?" the red-haired girl authoritatively stated that she had recently sailed from Egypt, and there everyone just did that to back away. And that's not scary yet! When she was in India, in order not to stand out from the crowd, she had to walk on her hands.

Tommy and Annika did not believe the stranger and caught her in a lie. Pippi was not offended and honestly admitted that she lied a little: “Sometimes I start to forget what was and what was not. And how can you demand that a little girl, whose mother is an angel in heaven, and whose father is a Negro king, speak only the truth ... So if I ever accidentally lie to you, you should not be angry with me. " Tommy and Annika were satisfied with the answer. Thus began their amazing friendship with Pippi Longstocking.

On the same day, the guys visited their new neighbor for the first time. Most of all, they were surprised that Peppy lives alone. "Who tells you in the evenings to go to bed?" - the guys were perplexed. “I tell myself about it myself,” replied Peppilotta. At first I speak kindly, but if I don’t obey, then I repeat it more strictly. If this does not help, then it flies into me great!

Hospitable Pippi bakes pancakes for the guys. She tosses eggs high up, two fall into the pan, and one breaks right on Longstocking's red hair. The girl immediately comes up with a story that raw eggs are very useful for hair growth. In Brazil, beating eggs on your head is the law. All bald people (that is, those who eat eggs, and do not smear them on the head) are taken to the police station in a police car.

Tommy and Annika got up early the next day. They were eager to see their unusual neighbor. They found Pippi baking tortillas. After household chores were completed, stomachs were full, and the kitchen was completely stained with flour, the guys went for a walk. Pippi told her brother and sister about her favorite hobby, which may well develop into the work of a lifetime. Pippi has been a dealer for many years. People throw away, lose, forget a lot of useful things - Longstocking patiently explained - the dealer's task is to find these things and find them worthy use.

Demonstrating her prowess, Peppy first finds a gorgeous can, which, if handled correctly, can become a gingerbread can, and then an empty spool. It was decided to hang the latter on a string and wear it as a necklace.

Tommy and Annika were not as lucky as Pippi, but she advised them to look into the old hollow and under the tree stump. Here are miracles! In the hollow Tommy found a stunning notebook with a silver pencil, and Annika was lucky to find a box of amazing beauty under a hemp with colorful snails on the lid. Returning home, the children were firmly convinced that in the future they would become dealers.

Peppy's life in the town was getting better. Little by little, she established contacts with local residents: she beat off the courtyard boys who offended a little girl, fooled the police that they came to take her to the orphanage, threw two thieves on the closet, and then made them twist all night.

However, at nine, Pippi is completely illiterate. Once one of her father's sailors tried to teach the girl to write, but she was a bad student. "No, Friedolph," Peppilotta used to say, "I'd rather climb on the mast or play with the ship's cat than learn this stupid grammar."

And now young Peppilotta is absolutely not drawn to go to school, however, the fact that everyone will have a vacation, and she will not, really hurt Pippi, so she went to classes. The educational process did not take long for the young rebel, and therefore Pippi had to part with the school. At parting, she presented the teacher with a golden bell and returned to her usual way of life at the "Chicken" villa.

Adults disliked Pippi, Tommy and Annika's parents were no exception. They believed that the new roommate was negatively affecting the children. With Pippi, they constantly get into trouble, wander around from morning to night and return dirty and grimy. And what can we say about the disgusting manners of this young person. During dinner at the Settergrens, to which Pippi was invited, she constantly chatted, told tales and ate a whole creamy cake without sharing a piece with anyone.

But adults could not forbid to communicate with Pippi, because for Tommy and Annika she became a real friend, whom they never had.

Part Two: The Return of Captain Ephroim

Pippi Longstocking has lived at the Chicken Villa for a whole year. She practically never parted with Tommy and Annika. After school, brother and sister immediately ran to Pippi to do lessons with her. The little hostess didn't mind. “Maybe a little scholarship will enter me too. I can't say that I suffered so much from a lack of knowledge, but maybe you really can't become a Real Lady if you don't know how many Hottentots live in Australia. "

After finishing their lessons, the guys played games or sat down near the stove, baked waffles and apples and listened to Pippi's incredible stories that happened to her when she sailed the seas with her father.

And there was even more entertainment on the weekend. You could go shopping (Pippi's chickens don't bite money!) And buy a hundred kilos of candy for all the city kids, you can summon a ghost in the attic, or you can go in an old boat to an uninhabited island and spend the whole day there.

One day Tommy, Annika and Pippi were sitting in the garden of the Chicken Villa and talking about the future. As soon as Longstocking remembered her father, a tall man appeared at the gate. Pippi threw herself as hard as she could on his neck and hung there, shaking her legs. This was Captain Ephroim.

After the shipwreck, Ephroim Longstocking actually ended up on a desert island, the locals first wanted to take him prisoner, but as soon as he uprooted the palm tree, they immediately changed their minds and made him their king. Their hot island in the middle of the ocean is called Veselia. In the morning, Ephroim ruled the island, and in the second he built a boat to return for his beloved Peppilotta.

In the last two weeks, he has passed many laws and given a lot of orders, so there should be enough for the time of his absence. But there is no need to hesitate - he and Pippi (now a real Negro princess) need to return to their subjects.
