adde ''The Blue Cup'' ((ロシア語:Голубая чашка)) is a 1936 Russian language short story written by the Soviet children's author Arkady Gaidar. ==History== The story was first published in the January 1936 issue of ''Pioneer''. That year Detizdat Publishers released it as a separate book with illustrations by Boris Dekhteryov. In 1940 Gaidar included "Blue Cup" into two of his compilations, ''Rasskazy'' (Short Stories, Detizdat) and ''Moyi Tovarishchi'' (My Friends, Sovetsky Pisatel Publishers). 〔 Gaidar rated "Blue Cup" high. In his 1937 "Autobiography" he mentioned the story among his best works to date, along with short novels ''R.V.S.'', ''School'', ''Distant Lands'' and ''The Military Secret'', and another short story, "The Fourth Blindage".〔Ebin, F. Commentaries to Голубая чашка. Works by Arkady Gaidar in 4 volumes. Detskaya Literatura Publishers. Moscow, 1964. Vol. 2. Pp 437-438. 〕 The story incited the heated discussion, parents, teachers and librarians participating in disputes, held by the Soviet literary and pedagogical journals and newspapers. Some found the story too abstract, its composition amorphous, the undercurrent issue (that of an implied family conflict) too 'adult' for the children's literature. According to biographer F. Ebin, though, - The majority defended the new Gaidar's story. People wrote in, telling how young children enjoyed this atmosphere of love, sunlight and happiness pervading the story, sympathizing with Svetlana and her father who breathe in the sweet air of freedom, resent indignation at those who spoil the Soviet people's happy life, occasionally laughing at them. Adult readers certainly guessed a lyrical undercurrent… but for people of all ages the deep patriotic value of this story is obvious.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Blue Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
