Everyone knows in our country the famous poem “Autumn” (in another edition of “October has already arrived ...”). Perhaps not by heart, but a couple of lines are required. Or at least some phrases, especially those that have become winged. Yes, at least this one: “Dull time! Eye charm! " Who else could say that? Of course, Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin! Autumn time - charming eyes ... Look how subtly noticed ... What could inspire a person, even if he is very gifted, to write such a touching work? Just fall? Or something more?
Family estate
In the fall of 1833, a famous person, the author of the most famous works to this day, a Russian genius, a literary reformer, A.S. Pushkin, arrived in Boldino, a village located near Nizhny Novgorod. Autumn time, charm eyes ... He loves this place, he worships the season, giving him not only inspiration, but also a physical strength. The estate visited by the famous poet is a family estate.
"Autumn"
The work "Autumn" is considered incomplete, consisting of 11 full eight-poems and the twelfth begun. In verse, he describes his worldview during his stay in Boldino. Silence, the opportunity to forget oneself, even to renounce the world, in order to give free rein to thoughts and dreams ... Only work - boiling, selfless, all-consuming ...
That is how Pushkin felt inspired in the fall. The autumn season — charming eyes — captivated the author, forcing him to paint every moment of the wilting nature around with bright colors of words. The poet describes the life and way of county estates, his own pastime.
He also talks about his attitude to the seasons, explaining in detail one or another point of view. The author relates enthusiastic words not only to autumn, but also to winter with its amusements and beauties. Pushkin shares his feelings with readers in a simple way.
The autumn season, the charm of eyes, so unloved by many, but conquering his heart, makes him feel the need to justify himself to others, proving and explaining his enthusiastic attitude, so strikingly different from the opinion of most other people.
First visit to Boldino
For the first time in the Nizhny Novgorod region, Pushkin fell on the eve of his wedding. The author was stuck in Boldino for three months. The magnificent autumn season — eyes enchantment, as Pushkin wrote — inspired him to fruitful work. At that time, a series of the most famous works to this day came out from the pen of the Russian classic, including The Tale of the Priest and His Worker Balda.
Second visit
The next time (in the autumn of 1833) Pushkin was going to the village on purpose, he already perceived it not as a family estate, but as an office for creativity. He is in a hurry there, despite the fact that a beautiful wife is waiting for him in St. Petersburg, and he has not been home for a very long time. Pushkin stayed in Boldino for only a month and a half, but during this time he presented the world with several tales and more than one verse.
Autumn time! Eye charm! .. Do you know how beautiful Boldinsky autumn is? She cannot but conquer her beauty.
Everyone who has ever visited those places has the same feelings as Pushkin, but not everyone has been given such eloquent expression. Perhaps this is not necessary. After all, we have his "Autumn".
PS
In the same period, Pushkin gave birth to such a well-known composition as “The History of Pugachev”. In Boldino, the author finished work on the work, rewriting it blank. There, work on the cycle “Songs of the Western Slavs” was begun. The writer must not have exaggerated when he wrote that it was in the fall that he felt a surge of inspiration:
"... And I forget the world - and in sweet silence
I am sweetly lulled by my imagination
And poetry awakens in me ... "
