Lermontov's biography: the most important thing in the life of a poet

Everyone since the time of school has been familiar with Lermontov’s biography. The most important thing that can be said about this man is a well-known talented poet, a real officer, a delightful prose writer and even an artist.

Childhood

Mikhail Yuryevich was born in 1814, it happened on October 3 in the capital. The father of the future writer brought his wife to give birth to Moscow from a small village. On the twentieth day after the birth of the boy, they christened him, and his grandmother became his godmother. About her more than once subsequently reports the biography of Lermontov. The most important thing that can be given to a child is that his grandmother gave him. She insisted that the boy be called Michael, provided him with a good education. Elizabeth Arsenievna loved her grandson passionately and selflessly. When he was ten, his grandmother took Misha to the Caucasus. And after a couple of years, the future writer goes to Moscow to prepare for admission to the noble boarding house, which functioned at Moscow State University. It was in the guesthouse that Mikhail began to compose poetry, he was very interested in reading, studying various sciences.

Education and study

At the age of 16, Mikhail entered a university in the capital. And his talent begins to take shape and mature quickly. He failed to graduate, Lermontov decides to leave him in 1832. The poet goes to St. Petersburg. He wanted to continue his studies there. But the university refused to count two years that he spent as a student in Moscow. And Michael categorically refused to enter the first year again. Lermontov’s life (a biography testifies to this) makes a sharp turn. He becomes a student of the School of Junkers and Ensigns. In the next couple of years, the poet did not write poetry, but created a historical novel, which, however, did not finish. Further, Mikhail is enrolled in the hussar regiment. He has not been published for a long time. When Alexander Pushkin was tragically killed in a duel, Lermontov was deeply shocked. This grief gave the world a famous poem by Mikhail Yurievich. Then followed the arrest of the poet and the trial. Michael again rescued his grandmother with her secular ties. Friends of Alexander Sergeyevich also stood up for defense. As a result, the poet Lermontov (biography talks about this) was demoted to ensign and transferred to serve in the Caucasus. He did not stay there long, but this period of time was enough for the poet to imbue the atmosphere and nature of the highlands. In the future, this is clearly seen in his works.

Creativity and further ups and downs of the creator's life

Lermontov returned to Petersburg and continued to create. It was thanks to a trip to the Caucasus that he created the immortal works “Demon” and “Mtsyri”. And the result of writing the poem "The Death of the Poet", which entailed so many problems, is the introduction of Lermontov to Pushkin’s circle of friends and comrades. Thanks to this, Michael begins to be published.

Then he takes part in a duel. The event cost no casualties, but the poet is again sent to the Caucasus (this reflects the biography of Lermontov). The most important consequence of this event is that Mikhail begins work on the novel “A Hero of Our Time”. The work was subsequently published in short chapters, and only then in full. During the life of the poet, only one of his collection of poems was published in 1840.

Lermontov’s life tragically ended in a duel. He died just like his idol, Alexander Sergeyevich. The cold winter of 1841 did not become the greatest person who presented the world with many immortal works. At least a brief biography of Lermontov (the most important thing from his life) should be known to every cultured person.
