The legend of the poor man with a heart full of love, proves that the fulfillment of cherished desires is possible. To do this, you just need to believe in yourself... and rub the old lamp.
History of creation
The author of the tales about a smart poor man named Aladdin is a beauty. The vizier's daughter told the legend of the young man and the magic lamp to her bloodthirsty husband, the Sultan. The man planned to get rid of his wife in the morning, but the exciting narrative captured the tyrant, giving the girl hope to survive another night. Exactly a thousand and one fairy tales were told by the cunning girl to her lord.
The Arabian legend was included in a collection entitled “1000 and One Nights,” translated and published by Antoine Galland. But researchers believe that the work was not included in original version collection, the legend was added later. Perhaps the author of the tale is an acquaintance of the translator named Hannah (Syrian traveler):
“Yesterday I started reading Arabian tale about the lamp, which more than a year ago was written down for me in Arabic by a Maronite from Damascus - Monsieur Lucas brought it with him. It will be necessary to translate it into French. By morning I finished reading it all. Here is its full title: “The story of Aladdin, the son of a tailor, and the adventures that befell him through the fault of an African sorcerer and through the help of a lamp.”
It is possible that Antoine Galland himself wrote the fairy tale. Man for a long time lived in the East. After the translator's death, the original text of the legends was not discovered among the rest of the Frenchman's archives.
Biography
Aladdin was born into the family of a poor tailor. From childhood, his father taught his son to work, but the boy was not interested in crafts. Free time The child spent time outside with friends. This behavior upset the parent, and the man died from great grief. Aladdin stayed with his mother.
At the age of 15, the matured young man did not change his habits. The guy didn’t like to work; the family’s old mother earned money. One unremarkable day, a sorcerer approached Aladdin on the street. The man introduced himself as the young man’s uncle. The man visited for more than a month poor family, gave young man gifts and promised to make the guy rich.
During his usual walk, the sorcerer led the foolish young man into the desert and ordered him to open a strange hatch. Aladdin obeyed the words of his “uncle” and ended up in the treasury. Taking the old lamp that the sorcerer asked the guy for, the hero tried to leave the cave. But the weight of the treasures picked up along the way did not allow the young man to cope on his own. The sorcerer demanded the lamp, which Aladdin hid deep in his clothes. A light argument turned into a scandal:
“And I, mother, put the lamp in my pocket and filled my pockets with fruits from the trees from the garden, and therefore could not get the lamp and give it to the Maghreb.”
In a rage, the sorcerer slammed the entrance to the cave, burying the young man and the lamp. Aladdin was saved by a ring that his fake uncle gave to the guy. Returning home, the guy told about his mother’s adventures. To feed his family, the young man decided to sell the old lamp. The sudden appearance of the creature from the lamp confused the cards.
It turned out that a genie lives in the lamp, who fulfills every wish of the owner of the lamp. From that moment on, Aladdin entrusted the care of his daily bread to an unusual slave. One day, while walking around the square, the poor young man saw the Sultan’s daughter, Mrs. Badr-al-Budur. The young man was captivated by the girl’s beauty and lost peace.
The young man persuaded his mother to woo the Sultan’s daughter, and collected a plate of incredible gems as a dowry. The matchmaking ended in success - the Sultan promised his daughter's hand in marriage, leaving three months to prepare for the wedding. Two months later, Aladdin accidentally found out that the ruler had not kept his word. The vizier's son became the beauty's new groom. To stop the marriage, Aladdin gave the genie an unusual task:
“This is what I want from you: when you see that the young people, husband and wife, are lying down together, take them both and bring them to me.”
By separating the newlyweds, Aladdin interrupted their wedding night. Just a few such antics - and the marriage of the beauty and the vizier’s son was dissolved at the behest of the Sultan. Aladdin reminded the great ruler of his promise. The Sultan demanded a new dowry from the guy, and when the young man fulfilled the request (with the help of the genie), he agreed to the marriage.
So the poor young man became the husband of a beautiful and noble woman. Aladdin built a palace for his wife and helped the Sultan administer justice. Soon the whole city was talking about the young ruler.
The old sorcerer, whom Aladdin conveniently forgot about, has returned. The villain found out what changes had occurred in the guy’s fate, and realized that the reason for the young man’s victories was the genie. Carefree Aladdin threw the lamp in the house and went hunting. By cunning, the sorcerer got hold of the lamp and moved the castle and princess Budur to his hometown.
And then the hero was again rescued by an unusual ring. Magic item carried the young man to the sorcerer. The young wife put the villain to sleep, and Aladdin cut off the head of the cruel wizard.
It would seem that now the young lovers are in no danger. But another sorcerer learns about his brother’s death and is not ready to forgive the upstart for murder. close relative. This time, the resident of the lamp warns Aladdin about the danger. The genie opens the young man’s eyes to the old woman whom the sorcerer is pretending to be:
“If I had known that you would have such a request, I would have blown on you and your wife, and you would have flown up and found yourself between heaven and earth. But the reason for this is not in you, but in this damned brother of the Maghreb, who is in your palace and pretends to be Fatima the Virgin.”
Aladdin kills another enemy. Now there are no secrets or barriers between lovers. The main characters live a long and happy life filled with fun and pleasure.

References to mythology and literature
Thanks to the tale of Aladdin, we all have an idea of the Arab world. Aladdin had a magic lamp that was dug out from under the sand and magically transformed his life. This is exactly the picture I saw in the state of Qatar, which is located on a tiny Asian peninsula Persian Gulf. In addition to the fact that there is an Aladdin Land like Disney Land, in this country you can find a lot of amazing things for Russian citizens. First of all, Qatar is an oil and gas producing state, just like Russia. But there a liter of gasoline costs 10 rubles, the local population does not know what taxes, fees for education, healthcare and social assistance are. A local university professor earns $15,000 a month.
Here they managed to use the resources of land and sea for the benefit of Qatari citizens. And although the emirate became open to tourists only at the end of the last century, the Qataris themselves are well versed in the international situation and are actively participating in the new alliance of civilizations. Girls and boys are educated separately, but women only seem traditional in appearance, but their brains and souls are stuffed with modern knowledge and values. Sheikh Muse was especially shocked, as she led the 4th Forum of the UN Alliance of Civilizations with graceful femininity and deep oriental content. Our Russian men admired: “There is a woman in the Persian Gulf!”
Local Arabs are very caring towards guests and try to help in everything. But they do not strive to be precise in time, as, for example, in Europe, they can change, correct, and improve the stay program on the fly. They try to prepare food according to recipes known throughout the world, leaving the exotic for the especially curious. You can always come to an agreement with them, since there is no noticeable commitment to punctuality of order, which can be considered a big plus in the conditions of inevitable uncertainty for those who have crossed the Arab border for the first time Russian tourist. All service people in restaurants, hotels, taxis know English language, so there is no language barrier.
The capital Doha is a unique city on the sand of the Persian Gulf, built by the best architects in the world. It grows like a gin from white sand, showing the possibilities of self-government small people Qatar. Local residents- about 600 thousand, the remaining million are those who came to work. Each home is a symphony of creativity, wealth and an Arab worldview aimed at a better future. At the same time, entire blocks of minarets are preserved, stretching crescents on the tops of skyscrapers, protecting spiritual world desert nomads. Doha, translated as “paradise on earth,” demonstrates the advantages of building in clusters: there is the City of Education, the City of Sports, Venice, and each part of the city is expressive and practical, creating a man-made image of a modern paradise on earth.
A kind of symbol Arab world Katara can be perceived as water pipes connecting every flower, bush, palm tree and leading them to life-giving moisture. And one more thing: on the streets there are billboards with the inscription “Think!” - Think! This is not what we are used to seeing and blindly following a poster like “Glory to the CPSU!” Indeed, we need to think, then maybe we will someday achieve a life like in Qatar.
Thanks to the brave Arab boy Aladdin for opening us to the heavenly world of Qatar!
Magic castles, amazing landscapes, fantastic cities - both children and adults enjoy traveling in fictional animated spaces. However, it is known that a person cannot come up with something completely divorced from the real world."Around the World" found out where they are incredible places, caught in fairy tales.
Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany
“New Swan Castle” (translated from German) is located on one of the Bavarian hills near the Austrian border. It was built in the 19th century by order of the hermit king Ludwig II. Thanks to its location, the castle survived two world wars. Walt Disney first saw Neuschwanstein in the 30s of the last century while traveling through Europe. Towering above the deserted Bavarian forests, the castle seemed to the animator to be a gateway to fairy world. At that time, Disney was toying with the idea of creating an amusement park, and in 1955, Sleeping Beauty Castle, stylized as Neuschwanstein, was located in the center of the first Disneyland. Later, in 1959, he was drawn in cartoon "Sleeping Beauty". And in 1985, the silhouette of the “Swan Castle” became the company logo Walt Disney Pictures.
Snow-white walls and golden domes of the palace from cartoon "Aladdin" Very reminiscent of this mausoleum. It is impossible today to find official confirmation that it was the Taj Mahal that inspired the creators of Aladdin. But the general similarity of the stories removes doubts. The mosque was built in the 17th century by order of the padishah in memory of his wife who died during childbirth. The cartoon unfolds a similar plot: the cartoon sultan is raising his daughter Jasmine on his own. In addition, the Taj Mahal is located in the city of Agra, and the cartoon palace is in the fictional city of Agrabah.
Golden Gate Bridge, USA
One of the most recognizable bridges in the world - business card not only the real San Francisco, but also the fictional metropolis of San Franzocchio from cartoon "City of Heroes", which is in our theaters from October 25th. “San Franzokio is a mixture of two cities: San Francisco and Tokyo,” says producer Roy Conley. “We took the best of them and created a city of heroes.”
Harvard University, USA
"Monsters university" copied from Harvard, one of the most prestigious educational institutions world: the same architecture, similar auditoriums and student dormitories.
Angel Falls, Venezuela
The largest waterfall in the world (979 meters - almost twice as high as the Ostankino TV tower) became the prototype of the Paradise Falls from cartoon "Up". Angel is located in Venezuela, in the territory National Park Canaima. Water falls from the top of Mount Auyan Tepui, the stream is sprayed into tiny particles and turns into fog.
Mont Saint Michel, France
The island with a fortress, located 285 kilometers from Paris, on the northwestern coast of France, resembles a royal palace from cartoon "Rapunzel" complicated story» . The animators do not confirm that it was Mont Saint-Michel that inspired them to create the fictional castle, but they do not deny the similarities. The island with the highest tide height in Europe (up to 15 meters) since French Revolution (late XVIII century) and until 1863 it was used as a prison and at that time bore the ironic name “Freedom Mountain”. According to some reports, up to 300 prisoners were held here.
Nidaros Cathedral, Norway
The church, located in the city of Trondheim (obsolete name Nidaros), inspired the animators to create the ice palace of Elsa, one of the heroines "Frozen". The cathedral was built on the burial site of King Olaf the Saint of Norway. The fairytale palace differs from the Nidaros Cathedral only in that it is completely made of ice. The rest - Gothic vaults, several pointed towers and a location on the river bank - everything is like in reality. In addition, the landscapes of the kingdom of Arendelle, where the cartoon takes place, are copied from the landscapes of Norway.
