My dear students!
I hope that all of you and your family home, and all are healthy.
I am developing the theme of my past address to you - now a great opportunity to study and self-education! And best of all, books will help you.
It is no secret that now there is a huge flow of information on television, in print media, and in networks. And it often happens that trying to look through all the news, all the chats (in which you participate in your own free will and captivity), have time to respond to everything on time, repost, leave a comment, like, etc., you end up completely empty.
I’m not afraid to seem trite, saying: Quite another is a book. After reading the book, on the contrary, you feel enlightened and enlightened, filled with thoughts and feelings. Is it not a miracle that by reading books you can become acquainted with the great minds of humanity. I share the view that the Book is truly the best society in which it is never boring.
I recommend you the top 10 of my favorite books of art (order doesn't matter):
1. The little prince. Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
2. The Arc de Triomphe. Erich Maria Remarque.
3. Blood and sweat. Abdižamil Nurpeisov (my son has a book personally signed for him by the author!).
4. Dead souls. Nikolay Gogol.
5. Flowers for Algernon. Daniel Keyes
6. 12 chairs. Ilf and Petrov.
7. Animal farm. George Orwell.
8. One hundred years of loneliness. Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
9. The Divine Comedy. Dante.
10. Transformation. Franz Kafka.
Without a doubt, all the works of Remarque, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Balzac, Stendhal, Kuprin should be listed. Yes, and all the classics - no mistake.
I really like Olzhas Suleimenov. I love Chingiz Aitmatov, especially “Farewell, Gulsary!” and First Teacher.
During quarantine, a good old tradition was revived in my family - evening family readings. Now we reread Gogol's "Dead Souls", one chapter every night. Very exciting: descriptions, portraits ...
From what I’m reading now, I also recommend The Higher Design by Stephen Hawking, and Leonard Mlodinov, The Future of Mind by Michio Kaku. I think that you, as techies, are close in spirit and will be very clear.
I think that it’s useful to read John Perkins's Confession of an Economic Killer (I won’t stop myself from boasting that the author personally signed a copy for me).
Read thoughtfully and slowly. Choose what interests you and enjoy reading!
Sincerely yours,
your rector Saule Sagintayeva
