Everyone knows what the poet Pushkin was like. The biography confirms that this is a great man who left a huge legacy for posterity after death. His name has become a household name, his works are still in the school curriculum. And children should be familiar with Pushkin's biography. Its summary is suitable for familiarization both at school and at home.
Childhood and youth
The future poet, who stirred the whole world with his works, was born in 1799. It happened in Moscow on June 6. And his grandmother in many respects influenced his excellent upbringing, and Alexander had a rest in her summer. At the age of 12, he becomes a student of the
Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum. It was thanks to the next six years that the poetic talent of Alexander Sergeyevich was formed.
Pushkin’s biography (including a brief summary) tells that it was during the years of study at the Lyceum that he began his literary work. At the same time, Pushkin was a member of a community of writers called Arzamas. From about 1816, Alexander’s poetry began to “grow up”. After the lyceum, he serves in the
College of Foreign Affairs. During these years he becomes a member of another literary community.
Decembrists and Pushkin
Alexander Sergeevich never came into close contact with the activities of the Decembrist organizations. What can not be said about his friends. And this fact influenced the work of the poet. From under his hands came the poems "Liberty", "To Chaadaev." And he began to create the poem “Ruslan and Lyudmila” back in his studies at the Lyceum. By 1820, it was finally finished. Critics were not very pleased with this work.
Creativity in that period had a certain political bias. Because of this, the poet was threatened with exile to Siberia. Thanks to friends and patrons (Chaadaev, Glinka) the punishment was mitigated. And Pushkin’s biography (a summary of her) reports that he was reassigned. In the summer of 1820 he visited the Caucasus, which left an imprint on creativity. It was the subsequently written poem The Prisoner of the Caucasus that gave Alexander the title of the best poet in the country (albeit unspoken).
Mikhailovsky
The poet began to work on his legendary Eugene Onegin in 1823. He is transferred to Odessa, and then he asks for resignation. Pushkin goes to Mikhailovskoye to be under the supervision of his parents.
Cupid affairs
Pushkin's biography (a brief summary of it and the full version) reports that he made an offer to his future wife in 1830. The poet's father gives the young village of Kistenevo, near Boldino. This is where Pushkin goes to take over. But due to quarantine in connection with cholera, he spends almost 3 months in Boldino. This was the period when the poet wrote his best poems, fairy tales, and
prose works. Alexander Sergeyevich married in 1831 in the capital. Together with Natalia Goncharova, he goes to Tsarskoye Selo. And, finally, it was there that the eight-year work was completed - the novel was seen in verses “Eugene Onegin”.
Subsequently, many more stunning, great works emerged from the pen of a talented poet. And he would have pleased fans with his work for many more years, if not for a tragic accident. In 1837, Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin perishes in a duel. His biography reports that after the wound, he lived a couple of days, dying in agony. However, the death of the poet was worthy, like all life.
