What are they,
years of Pushkin's life, lived in an ambiguous time? How did people and events influence the poet's work? What role did fate play? But could he become a simple, contingent nobleman and live quietly somewhere far from the capital, in the depths of the
Nizhny Novgorod province? Or not, and God had a different fate for him?
Childhood
Pushkin’s childhood years passed completely unnoticed by this person. We do not undertake to assert that they flew without a trace, no. It's just that he dropped childhood from the line of his poetic themes. The lyceum is that which he described repeatedly, that which bound him all his life, but not his father's house. Why?
In a very impoverished family, Alexander Pushkin was born. The years of life spent with his parents, sister Olga and brother Leo in Moscow are not much remembered to him. He was a regular ward of the frequently changing French tutors. He began to speak and read in the non-native (French) language much earlier than in Russian. By the age of eight, he eagerly “devoured” French publications from his father’s library. This was described by his younger brother Leo.
By Grandma
Here are the years of Pushkin’s life that he lived in the estate of his mother’s grandmother, he remembered. An important role was played by the nanny Arina Rodionovna and serf grandmothers. It was there that he learned his native language and fell in love with culture. Tales, stories and narratives of ordinary people have always interested him.
Lyceum
His education was very angular, and at 11 years old the child was sent to study at a prestigious educational institution. The Imperial Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum made it possible for the young talent to absorb not only knowledge, but also communicate with interesting people. The professors brought up the state’s elite, instilled patriotic feelings and “sowed” seeds of reform.
Teachers
It is believed that it was under the influence of the professor of literature Galich A.I. that he revealed all his abilities. In the middle of training for acquaintance with Pushkin, the author, the then most famous author, the hero of the war of 1812, the future teacher of the Grand Duke Alexander II, Zhukovsky V. A., specially comes.
Career
At the end of his education, Alexander becomes a government official, but his ardent nature does not allow him to spend his life calmly. Pushkin is always drawn to the center of events, whether literary or political, he cannot live without society. He describes his feelings, thoughts, emotions in a poetic form, creating masterpieces. In addition to free poetry, he owns a huge number of works on the culture and life of the people, fairy tales, historical novels and novels. And this is not all that Pushkin glorified his name with.
Years of life and death are not far from each other (1799-1837), but during this time he was able to do the impossible for many. At the same time, according to the memoirs of relatives, he did not strive much for this. Yes, he wanted to write, he wanted the work of the authors to be paid with dignity, but Pushkin didn’t even think about such a grand success, despite the fact that during his lifetime many sang songs of praise to him.
The poet died from a mortal wound during a duel with Georges Charles Dantes. Death came two days after the tragedy.
