Site "Brifly". Brief contents of books: pros and cons

The site "Brifly" (brief contents of literary works laid out on the Internet) is very popular at the moment for users and, unfortunately, very often replaces the modern audience with reading the original text. On the other hand, this project has many supporters who note the convenience of this form of acquaintance with the book with minimal time. In this article, we consider both the advantages and disadvantages of A. Skrypnik's project, who founded a portal dedicated to a condensed description of works.

pros

At modern youth the site "Brifli" is very popular. Brief contents of art books in our days are increasingly sought after by the readership. Therefore, to the undoubted merits of Skrypnik's project, one can attribute the fact that reading a synopsis often helps the reader to decide on the choice of literature. A fluent and superficial acquaintance with this or that composition allows people to understand what they want to read and what they do not. Perhaps, no one wants to waste their precious time on a work that may not like, and even more so spend money on the purchase of printed products.

Therefore, to get an idea of the books allow the "Brifley" page. Brief contents of both small and voluminous novels, novels, stories presented on the site have the undoubted advantage that they reflect the main compositional elements of compositions that help to concentrate on the idea, theme, idea of the author. Such a preliminary acquaintance will later help to focus attention on the main aspects of the book.

disadvantages

At the same time, one can not ignore the negative consequences of the abuse of students and students by the content of the "Brifley" website. Short contents of works, unfortunately, often almost completely replace modern schoolchildren with reading of art works. The presence of a small laconic retelling avoids them from direct acquaintance with the original. Worse still is the fact that this justifies itself, because in the literature classes because of the limited time, the teacher usually asks only the most necessary things about a particular work, which just contain condensed retelling, differing schematically, the dryness of the text.

Although they contain all the essentials for a preliminary acquaintance with the work, they are nevertheless not enough for the reader to completely immerse himself in the writer's world. This site aims to get acquainted with the literature, but does not aim to replace the reading of the literary text. Of course, nothing can compare with the reading of the source material, which is often interesting, not so much with the plot as with the linguistic, stylistic and, of course, ideological points of view.

Place in the modern literature

The "Brifley" site is very useful for modern readers. The brief content of stories, novels, poems thanks to the marked pluses has already become an integral part of the Internet. Every user today in one way or another refers to this project, where he can find a retelling of any book. This helps to save time and understand the main content of the literary work. And although many rightly point out that such a way to get acquainted with literature spoils readers' taste of the classical language and love of prose and poetry, nevertheless, most users will express themselves in favor of this resource.

Value

In the end, it should be noted that based on the needs of the audience, the "Brifley" site is based. The brief content of books as a preliminary form of acquaintance with art works has the right to exist. Moreover, such a literary form, in principle, has always existed. Even before the development of the Internet in published and published books in the beginning, there was a synopsis in which the publisher, in several sentences, told the reader about the composition of the work, its idea and features. At the present time, the project "Briffly" is booming, which, however, is explained by the requests of the reading public. I would like to hope that such a scope will not damage artistic literature, but, on the contrary, will arouse interest in books.
