Gogol watch a biography

The writer Sergei Aksakov said: "This is a true martyr of a high thought, a martyr of our time." Needlework, poems and unclean power: Gogol’s childhood Nikolai Gogol was born in the village of Sorochintsy, the Poltava province, which at that time was part of the Russian Empire. His father, Vasily Gogol-Yanovsky, was a college assessor and served in the post office, but retired in the year, married and began to engage in economy.

Soon he made friends with former Minister Dmitry Troshchinsky, who lived in a neighboring village. Gogol-Yanovsky himself wrote comedies for performances in Ukrainian, and took plots from folk tales. Maria Kosyarovskaya married him at the age of 14 and devoted herself to the family. Nikolai Gogol was the third child in the family, the first two sons were born dead. The future writer was named in honor of St.

Nicholas: shortly before the birth, his mother prayed to him. Later, eight more children appeared in the family, but only the daughters Maria, Anna, Elizabeth and Olga survived alive. Olga recalled: "He went to his grandmother and asked for wool, like a garus, to tuck his belt: he wove his belts on the comb." He became carried away early and writing. The father took him to the fields and the road gave topics for poetic improvisations: “steppe”, “sun”, “heaven”.

At five, Gogol had already begun to record his works. Twilight descended. I pressed against the corner of the sofa and listened to the knock of a long pendulum of the old wall clock. Suddenly, the meowing of the cat broke the burden of rest. I will never forget how she walked, stretching out, and the soft paws tapped the floorboards with claws, and green eyes sparkled with unkind light.

I felt creepy. Grigory Danilevsky. Collected works, XIV, a story from Gogol when Gogol was ten years old, his parents brought him to Poltava, to one of the teachers of the local gymnasium. The future writer lived in the teacher’s house and was preparing to enter the boarding house: he was engaged in arithmetic, read books on history, worked with cards. He was not diligent: he was often distracted in the lessons and was engaged only before the exams.

Latin teacher Ivan Kulzhinsky recalled: “He studied with me for three years and did not learn anything ... During the lectures, Gogol always, it used to keep some book and reads.” The favorite objects of the future writer were drawing and Russian literature. He admired Alexander Pushkin. He composed himself. The works - the poem "Robbers", the story "The Tverdislavichi Brothers" - he posted in his own manuscript magazine "Star".

No one thought of us that Gogol could ever be a writer even mediocre, because he was known in the lyceum for the most negligent and ordinary listener. Nikolai Sushkov, playwright Nikolai Gogol created a theater in the gymnasium. He chose plays, distributed roles and painted the scenery. The students became the actors, they brought someone to the Theater Wardrobe. The writer’s fellow student Timofei Pashchenko recalled: “We all thought then that Gogol would enter the stage because he had a huge talent and all the data for the game on the stage.” In the year, Gogol died father.

The gymnasium student was seriously experiencing loss. His mother recalled: “I could not write to the children about our misfortune and asked the director of my son to prepare the director in a non -western in the Near; He was in such a grief that he wanted to rush out the window from the top floor. ” After the death of her father, problems with money began: the mother did not know how to manage the economy.

Then Gogol first proposed to sell the forest, which, by will belonged to him, and then completely abandoned the inheritance in favor of the sisters. In the year, Gogol composed the poem "Hanz Kuchelgarten" about a young man who rejected love for the dream of Greece. He wrote to his uncle Peter Kosyarovsky: “I admit, I am not accepted to toss up home, especially the witness several times, as an extraordinary mother, our fights, tormented, sometimes even about some penny.

He recalled: “Petersburg seemed to me not at all the same as I thought, I imagined him much more beautiful, more magnificent. I am forced to abandon my best pleasure - to see the theater. ” The writer could not find a job: they either did not want to accept a graduate of the Nezhinsky gymnasium, or offered too little salary. The work was published, and this gave confidence to the writer.

He decided to print the gymnasium poem “GANTS KUHELGARTAN” under the pseudonym V. However, this time the book did not disperse: the composition was criticized for naivety and lack of composition. Then Nikolai Gogol bought out the entire circulation from the book seller and burned. After the failure, he tried to become an actor and was listening to the director of the imperial theaters Sergey Gagarin.

But they did not take the writer. Gogol recalled: “Thoughts in clouds lean one to the other, not giving one another place. There was nothing more poisonous and cruel to me in the world. ” In the fall of the year, Nikolai Gogol returned to Petersburg. There was not enough money, and he got a job as an assistant to the head of the Department of Dolzov. The writer was a college assessor - the youngest rank in the tables of ranks.Gogol wrote to his mother: “After endless searches, I finally managed to find a place, but, however, unenviable.

But what to do? Gogol turned to his mother for help: “Make mercy, describe the mores, customs, beliefs for me ... What dresses in their time had the centurions, their wives, the thousands, themselves, what matters were known in their time, and everything with detailed details.” In the year in the journal "Domestic Notes" the writer published the story "Bisavryuk, or evening on the eve of Ivan Kupala." The text was very different from the original: publisher Pavel Svinin edited the work to his taste.

Gogol gradually wrote more and more for magazines. In the year, the Materials “Several Thoughts of Teaching Children of Geography” and “Woman” were published in the “Literary Gazeta”, and the heads of the historical novel “Getman” appeared in the Almanac of Northern Flowers. The owner of both publications was Anton Delvig. The poet introduced a young author into a literary circle and introduced Vasily Zhukovsky and Peter Pletnev.

The writers helped Nicholas Gogol a new job: he became a teacher at the female patriotic institute, and on the weekend he gave private lessons to the children of noble nobles. In parallel, the writer worked on a series of stories about Ukraine. The book took place in the author’s homeland, in the Mirgorod district of the Poltava province. The heroes were the inhabitants of the Ukrainian village, and in the plot everyday life was mixed with mystical motives that were in the villages of the villagers.

They amazed me. Here is the real merry, sincere, relaxed, without scum, without stiffness. And in some places, what a poetry, what a sensitivity! They told me that ... The sets were darkened with laughter, gaining his book. Already in the year, Gogol released the second volume of "Evenings on the Farm near Dikanka." Four more stories entered there: “The Night before Christmas”, “Terrible Revenge”, “Ivan Fedorovich Shponka and his aunt” and “Enchanted place”.

The new book repeated success. Gogol wrote from the house: “He came to the estate completely upset. There are many unpaid debts. They stick from all sides, and now it is a perfect impossibility. ” In the year, the writer was offered a place for an adjunct professor at the Department of General History at St. Petersburg University. Nikolai Gogol agreed. In the afternoon, he gave lectures on the Middle Ages and the period of the great resettlement of peoples, in the evening-he studied the history of Ukrainian peasant-Kazak uprisings.

He wrote all his free time. In the year, another collection of Gogol entitled “Arabesques” was published, which united works of different genres. One of the most popular in the book was the article “A few words about Pushkin”. In it, Gogol analyzed his work and called Pushkin the first Russian national poet. The collection also had articles on historical topics: “A look at the compilation of Little Russia”, “On the teaching of universal history”, “Al Mamun” and others.

It was a continuation of “Evenings on the Farm near Dikanka”: the writer used elements of Ukrainian folklore, and the action itself took place in Zaporozhye. During work on the works, Gogol used his scientific developments. So, “Taras Bulba” was based on the material about the peasant uprising - years, and the prototype of the protagonist was ataman Okhim Makukha. The entire circulation of the collections of “Arabesques” and “Mirgorod” was quickly bought.

Gogol belongs to the number of the most unusual phenomena in our literature and the praise that their admiration they delighted with the praise show off. ” In the year, Nikolai Gogol began to write “Dead Souls”. The plot of the work was prompted by Pushkin: during the Chisinau exile, he was told about the landowner who gave the dead for the fugitives. A few months later, Gogol had already read the first chapters of the work to the poet.

From the book “Selected Places from Correspondence with Friends”: “Pushkin, who always laughed during my reading, he was a hunter to laugh, began to gradually become more dustering, gloomy, and finally became completely gloomy. When the reading ended, he said in a voice in a voice: “God, how sad our Russia is! The reason for the merryness that was noticed in my first works, which appeared in the press, was in some mental need.

I was found in meals, the most inexplicable to me, which came, maybe from my painful state.

To entertain myself, I came up with everything funny that I could invent. Nikolai Gogol, the writer “was going to collect all the evil in Russia”: the comedy “Examiner” in the fall of the year Nikolai Gogol quit the university.
