Grigorovich d biography

Grigorovich Dmitry Vasilievich is a wonderful writer, whose works composed of the classics of literature, we live in the Ozersky Territory - the corner of truly Russian nature: forests, odorous meadows, hills, ravines, hollows, fields alternate, creating amazing beauty. The Ozersky Territory, like a magnet, attracts talented people. It was here for more than 25 years that Dmitry Vasilyevich Grigorovich lived in the estate of his parents in the village of Dulebino.

If fate brings you a case of going to Russia someday, if you have nowhere to rush, you are not too exacting in relation to material living conditions, and most importantly, if you are terribly bored with the city, I advise you to turn off large roads more often. Whether the case is laughter! You say: poetry! What is it, if so? And finally, if you want to know, the poetry of the whole country on these shanks!

Poetry in this case gets high value. Locks but cord do not stretch; An engineer did not work on them - all this is a perfect truth: the peasant simply trodden them, with his cinquefoil; But what to this! Look, look at how the frequency, with a small network they grabbed the entire Russian land from the end to the end: where is the end of it and where the beginning?

.. They crashed into the very heart of the Russian land, and become only on them, become, they will bring you into the most hidden, the most innermost nooks of this far unknown heart. On these gaps and life is easier and the soul is calmer in its thoughtful loving. Here you will recognize the life of the people; Here you will only see the real Russian field, with the immense-maneous expanse, which so much has already heard about and so much, perhaps, have dreamed.

And he was born 31 Cheremshan Nikolskoye Stavropol district of the Simbirsk province now. Nikolskoye-on-Cheremshan of the Melekessky district. Grigorovich’s father, Vasily Ilyich, retired hussar, V. Grigorovich married the Frenchwoman Sidonia de Varmo n, the daughter of the deaths during the terror of the royalist de Varmon. Her half-sister of Camilla Le Dantu, was married to the Decembrist V.

Then acquired the Dulebino estate in the Kashirsky district of the Tula province and became the landowner. Grigorovich early lost his father at 8 years old and grew up in the arms of his mother and grandmother, who gave him purely French education. The fate of the writer, who lived 77 years from the GO and survived almost all of his great contemporaries, cannot be called ordinary.

Firstly, although he grew up in Russia, in the village on the banks of the Oka, but the Frenchwoman was brought up by his mother and grandmother. Both women who became the will of fate by the Russian landowners spoke exclusively in French. Mother and grandmother shrugged the landlord neighbors. They lived in solitude. Grigorovich remembered his childhood for a long time.

It was probably all the more painful that, according to the testimony of all those who knew him, Grigorovich was always distinguished by great sociability, skill and desire to get closer to people. Until 8 years, he, who spoke freely and read in French, did not pick up a single Russian book, Dmitry Vasilyevich had no Russian peers. He learned the Russian language from the courtyards, peasants and most of all from the old valet of his father - Nikolai, we could say about Nicholas: there is little light in it, but there is a lot of warmth.

For all the cold and loneliness of children's life, Mitya warmed only when he was with him. Nikolai knew many different adventures and fairy tales.

They walked with him and along the fields and groves, listened to the birds, went to the mill. The boy was interested in this simple and kind person. The Valley of Samedva, the peasant and the landlord types of Dulebin and his environs will later find a reflection in his artistic work. He will come here more than once by the already established writer in search of new impressions.

Grandma was very unhappy with these trips. She wanted Dmitry to devote more time to foreign sciences, so soon the boy is sent to Moscow. In December, Grigorovich was placed in the Moscow gymnasium, and a year later they are given to the St. Petersburg boarding house, contained by the Frenchwoman of Moniettia, filled mainly by French students, only two Russians among students.

Dmitry Vasilievich is engaged in the Kostomarov boarding house, created to prepare for admission to the Main Engineering School, and in Grigorovich he is heavily undergoing a transition from the free environment of the boarding house to the school, known for harsh discipline, steps; In addition, the writer is disgusted with the technical sciences who occupied almost the entire curriculum.

Staying in the school only partially brightened up Grigorovich's friendship with comrades. There were Dostoevsky, Totleben, Radetsky. To the exact sciences, which made up the main subject of teaching, Grigorovich had not the slightest vocation. He was attracted by art, and, except for the drawing to which he had talent, he did little to the school. Literary conversations with which largely influenced its formation of an artistic worldview.

An engineer from Grigorovich did not work.In one semi -sneaked circumstance, he left the main engineering school, having unheated: he did not give an honor to Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich on the street, escaped from the catching up as an adjutant, but was “calculated” by the directorate and subjected to punishment. This entailed a number of tragicomic consequences behind them, very amusingly told in the "memoirs" of Grigorovich.

The scattered cadet was put in an indefinite time in a punishment and only due to illness for a while into a infirmary. Frightened by such severity, Grigorovich’s mother succumbed to the insistence of his son after that, and he exchanged an engineering school for the Academy of Arts. The incident became a convenient reason for the impressionable young man to leave the educational institution: he does not have a location for mathematics and engineering, the harsh state of the local order did not correspond.

Where to go to a person with artistic inclinations. For some time he is looking for himself: in Dmitry Vasilievich, who has long been fond of painting and took drawing lessons at the Stroganov School, enters the Academy of Arts, one temporarily tortures happiness on theatrical stages, but, according to his own definition, “played below every description”. All students, from small to great, burned with one desire: to get into students to the famous master.

Naturally, Grigorovich was also delighted with the celebrity, and as he himself admitted, meeting him in the corridors, "he died, my hands were cold, his tongue was sticking to the larynx." But it so happened that the mentor of Grigorovich became the architect M. Nevertheless, the hobby of the creative manner of the brilliant master affected many works of a novice artist. These include a self -portrait of the 10ths.

There are many other works in the archive: portraits of family members, types of Dulebino estate, sketching landscapes, interior, drawings of a house, outbuildings, and home performances programs. He carefully studied the works of Western artists - Grigorovich's engraving boards repeat classic plots. Among the drawings there are many ornaments reduced to tracing paper, vignett for notebooks, redesigning from ancient Russian books.

There is also a plan for the reconstruction of the Cathedral of St. Sophia in Kyiv - tribute to knowledge acquired in the engineering school, which he entered in the year. True, it was not completed by him, but those acquaintances that largely determined the future literary and everyday environment of Grigorovich have started here. The artist also did not work out of him, and Dmitry Vasilievich left the academy.

After some time, thanks to an accidental meeting with the director of the imperial theaters A. Gedeonov, Grigorovich began to serve in the office of the St. Petersburg Bolshoi Theater. Acquaintance with the theater world prompted Dmitry Vasilievich to engage in translations of fashionable French vaudevilles. The case went to the way, soon he writes several original stories did not mean that Grigorovich became a real writer.

Meanwhile, literature was increasingly capturing the young man. The second unusual feature of Grigorovich’s fate was the rare number of the largest Russian writers who he met at the youngest age before the beginning or at the very beginning of his own writer's career. In the beginning of the x, Grigorovich met Nekrasov, who at that time published various humorous collections: “First of April”, “Physiology of St.

Petersburg” and others. They appeared samples of the pen of a young writer - “Fabric of Fabric” and “St. Petersburg Self -Charles”. In addition, he translated different books for Plosar, wrote small essays in the Literary Newspaper and theater feuilletons in the Northern Bee. Nekrasov introduces Dmitry Vasilyevich with writers and attracts him to participate in his publications.

The future writer converges with Turgenev, Panaev, Belinsky, attends the meetings of the Beketov brothers, which included many members of the secret society of Petrashevsky. Nekrasov invites him to take part in the collection "Physiology of St. Petersburg". It was an honorary proposal, the main thing in the life of D. Grigorovich was always literature.

Some of his first stories “Theater Carriage”, “Dog” were low -seeing. But already the essay “Petersburg Shargers”, published by Nekrasov in the collection of “Physiology of St. Petersburg”, brought success and fame to the novice writer. The story “The Play of the Fabric” was also noticed, which also included in the “first of April” by the Nekrasov almanas, Grigorovich, without hesitation and doubts, became into the ranks of the supporters of the realistic method in Russian literature, at the head of which N.

Gogol and V. They joined the writer with an amazingly developed sense of responsibility for his work, with an understanding of his special importance for society. It seemed to write on the principle of “and so” Grigorovich, according to him, “tantamount to a dishonest act”. This attitude to creativity as a mission, public service was characteristic of many Russian writers, and in this Grigorovich was not inferior to any of them.

The success of the story “Anton Goremyk” was especially great. Belinsky considered her "more than a story."This is a novel, ”he wrote,“ in which everything is true to the main idea, everything belongs to it, the tie and the denouement freely come out of the essence of the matter, despite the fact that Anton is a simple man, not at all from the brisk and cunning, he is a tragic, in full sense of the word.

This story is touching, after reading which the thoughts of sad and important thoughts are involuntarily crowded. ” Writers with the name gave their works to the almanac. Grigorovich set to work with some mental trepidation. Dmitry Vasilievich has long and carefully studying nature - soil musicians whose life interested him. The result of these observations was the essay "Petersburg scribes." Working over the essay, Grigorovich comprehended the secrets of literary skill.

The manuscript of the essay read F.
