My favourite writer

 I love to read books written by different writers. My favourite writer is Chingiz Aitmatov. I have read almost all of the books written by him. I like them very much, but most of all I like his first novel "Jamila".

Chingiz Aitmatov wrote in simple language but he made readers think about serious things: about love and friendship, the trials and heroism of wartime, about history and traditions. That is why Chingiz Aitmatov became my favourite writer.

*Текст пришлось немного подредактировать

My favorite writer is Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. He was a dramatist and is considered to be one of the greatest writers of short stories in history.

From all his works most of all I like Chekhov's tragicomedy "The cherry garden". As for me, this work teaches us a lot about our life, our history and the relationships among generations. It shows us the relationships between members of one family, but I think it can be applied to the relationships between nations and countries.

Although The cherry garden is a tragicomedy,  Chekhov's style may be characterized as an impressionist one. He used a lot of sadness, absence of basic information in introductions and conclusions, and always writing to the point.
