From fantasy to dictionaries

Top 5 books by Jamal Zhanatovna Maratova, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Russian and Foreign Literature

1. Dmitry Yemets "The Tanya Grotter Series"

Simply because it was with my acquaintance with this series at the age of 10 that my love for fantasy, now a scientific interest, began.

2. William Golding "Lord of the Flies"

A dystopia that shows that even children, the purest creatures on earth, can become monsters.

3. J. R. R. Tolkien, "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy"

The pinnacle of fantasy creativity.

4. Italo Kal'vino "Nevidimyye goroda"

A puzzle book, a visual representation of classical postmodernism.

5. Sergei Ivanovich Ozhegov, "Dictionary of the Russian Language"

Sometimes we all need to rethink the true meaning of the words we use every day.
