Chodja Nasreddin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chodscha Nasreddin or The Picnic of Nasreddin (original title in Russian Повесть о Ходже Насреддине , The story of Nasreddin Hodscha ' ) is an adaptation of the traditional oriental Nasreddin material by the Russian writer Leonid Wassiljewitsch Solowjow in two parts:

  • first book: Der Aufmischer (a kind of rioter and troublemaker, as a troublemaker or constructively stimulating) from 1940,
  • second book: Fascinating Prince from 1950, published in 1956.

Solovyov's Nasreddin version stands out from other collections and arrangements because it deviates from the traditionally anecdotal form of the Anatolian folk hero and instead uses the inconsistent motifs and stories that have been handed down for centuries, the most famous collection of which was made by the Turkish writer Mehmet Tewfik in the 19th century . Published in the 18th century, linked to a large, uniform narrative, which in the German first edition comprised at least 261 closely printed pages.

In Chodscha Nasreddin, Solowjow tells the homecoming of Nasreddin to medieval Bukhara as an exciting adventure story that draws its special charm from the witty and witty nature of its hero. In a certain way, the writer tries to trace a possible version of the life of a historical Nasreddin.

At least the first part shows an anti-feudal and anti-clerical tendency, in keeping with the state guidelines of the Stalinist-ruled Soviet Union .

In 1943, the Soviet film adaptation was Nasreddin in Bukhara by Yakov Protasanow .

In Germany, the first part was published in 1948 by the Aufbau-Verlag under the title Chodscha Nasr ed-din , from the Russian by Ena von Baer , edited by Elisabeth Kessel. The book was reprinted several times and was also adapted for the theater and as a radio play for the record Nasreddin in Bukhara (1979), with Winfried Glatzeder as speaker in the title role.
