Русские народные сказки в обработке Афанасьева А.Н. 1873 г. 252 сказки. Представляем вашему вниманию приложение Старые Сказки. Это 252 русские народные сказки первой половины 19 века, систематизированные Афанасьевым Александром Николаевичем и снабженные им обширными научными комментариями. Казалось бы, на первый взгляд сказки - это придуманные рассказы для развлечения, но старые сказки хранят в себе великую народную мудрость в зашифрованном "сказочном" виде для передачи этих знаний потомкам. Есть несколько смысловых рядов, которые раскрываются при вникании в сказку. Важно и воспитательное значение сказок для детей. Как писал сам Афанасьев: "Дети слушают их охотнее всех нравственных рассказов и повестей". Кроме того, присутствуют страшные сказки, народные анекдоты, прибаутки и докучные сказки. В приложении удобное управление и меню. Есть возможность выбрать цвет фона, изменить размер шрифта, вид шрифта, а также перелистывать сказки. Можно включить вывод полосы с названием сказки вверху. Кроме того, запоминается последнее место чтения при закрытии приложения. Можно открыть приложение и продолжить чтение. Все ваши пожелания будут приняты во внимание. Не забудьте посмотреть другие мои приложения. Приятного пользования!

Turn pages with a blink: right eye for the next page, left eye for the previous one. You don't have to move your hands or change your grip on the phone, which is handy when you read lying down. Works on iPhones with Face ID (TrueDepth camera). I read a lot on my phone. At some point I noticed that the good old reader apps were gone from the App Store, and the new ones were either full of ads, missing something I needed, or painfully slow. So I wrote my own, with the features I wanted and no ads. I use it every day. Features: • Page turning by blinking, hands-free • FB2 and ePub, including zipped files • Large books open quickly: the book is loaded in parts • Font and text layout settings. Changes apply quickly because pages are built on the fly • Paged reading or scrolling • Several page-turn animations • Ready-made themes, or your own • Landscape mode • List of recent books • No ads Supported formats: .fb2, .fb2.zip, .epub, .epub.zip
