Biographies Gary Romain

The very word "biography", standing next to the name of the writer, sounds like a mockery and requires clarification after itself. Whose biography is? Romain Gary? Emil Ajara? Shatana is rich? Fosko Sinibaldi? However, the last two names remained in the shadow of Gari and Azhara, on whose semantic similarity of Gary - from “burning”, Azar - from the “heat” was once indicated by the writer, adding that “it is a mountain!

All these names with entertaining biographies are only pseudonyms with fictional fate, none of which is equal to the fate of a person who has hidden behind these myths. Of course, between Romain Gary and Roman Katsev, his real name can be placed a sign of approximate equality. However, do not forget that the writer made every effort, so that the double wavy dashes of this equation would never straighten completely.

Roman Katsev was born on May 8 in the city of Vilnu, in the territory of the Russian Empire now Vilnius, Lithuania, in house number 6 on Sirotskaya Street. The mother of the future writer is a Jewish provincial actress Mina Ioslevna Ovchinskaya from Sventsian Polsk. Mina Owczynska, in the first marriage - Bregstein, -? Arieh-LEB KACEW,-Laby Katsev and Mina Bregstin in his second marriage-Katseva got married there, in Vilna, on August 28, two years before the birth of his son.

In the year, the parents parted the divorce in the year, and Mina Ovchinskaya, together with her son, returned to the parents of the Iyos and Hitl Ovchinsky in Sventsian, and the next year she moved to the older brother-the lawyer Abram-Borukhu Ovchinsky-to Warsaw. In the year, mother and son moved to France, to Nice, where another brother of Mina previously settled. Roman studied the law in ex-en-provence and in Paris.

In addition, he studied a flight business, preparing to become a military pilot. Already in France, by virtue of external resemblance, a legend of the novel arose that his real father is Ivan Mozzhukhin, a star of Russian silent cinema. During the Second World War, the novel had to emigrate to the UK, where he entered the French troops formed by de Gaulle. He fought as a pilot in Europe and Africa.

After the war, he returned to France and entered the diplomatic service. The story of Gary’s relationship with his mother is described in his autobiographical novel “The Promise at Dawn”. He will be dressed in Lleadon! Starting in the year with “European education”, Romain Gary wrote almost according to the novel a year and already received the first Goncurov Prize for the book “The Roots of Heaven” dedicated to the salvation of African elephants in the year.

According to the evil irony of fate, it was on the day of the awarding that R. Gary received a letter of eyewitness about how his father, Arya Laib Katsov, died at the entrance to the crematorium in Auschwitz. But, despite the prize, relations with “Acts on Peru” by Romain Gary, who have been knocked out of all literary traditions of that time, were not in the best way.

To the "New Roman" in the person of Duras and Rob-Griye, Gary experienced an undisguised hostility, not finding a single living hero on their pages. He reproached American writers from Faulkner to Hemingway of concern about male failure complexes. However, many offensive statements sounded to Gary himself, and if at dawn of his careers many critics and literary masters did not want to relate to Gary seriously, considering his style not elegant enough, then after 20 years the writer was already “handed over to the archive”, putting a cross on his work.

And then Romen decided to crank the unprecedented scam: he signed the new novel “Dove” by the name of Emil Ajara from that moment on the biography of his literary alter ego and with the help of his friend sent a manuscript from Brazil to preserve complete incognito. The novel of the new writer with a mysterious biography was met with a bang. In September, an article by J. Piatje under the title “Wonderful Discovery” appeared in the Mond newspaper.

When Emil Ajara came time to appear in public, Gary asked to fulfill this role of his cousin Paul Pavlovich Pavlovich's grandson of the younger brother of his mother Ilya Osipovich Ovchinsky. In literary circles, they immediately talked about how much the young nephew is more talented than their painted uncle. The French only now noticed that both surnames in Russian are connected by the image of fire: the first from “burn”, the second from “heat”.

Would it occur to them that one and the same person, no matter how fiercely talented, he wrote seven books from himself and four more from the fictional author in five years, in total eleven - not to mention other forms of activity. Reading the reviews of influential critics, Gary laughed heartily, realizing that a simple literary analysis could bring him to clean water.

But it was easier for reporters to sing a new talented writer than to believe in the genius of Gary himself. Thanks to such inattention of critics, the Gonkurovskaya Prize in the year again fell into Gary’s hands for the novel “All Life Ahead”, signed by the name of Emil Azhara. Gari revealed the whole truth about this fraud in the text “Emil Ajar’s life and death”, which, at the request of the writer, was published after his death.

On the third of July in the next m!Paul Pavlovich confusedly answered the questions of the interlocutors: why did he agree to a false role? How much money brought him books by Azhar? Why did he now write a book with the exposure of truth?

During the conversation, interesting thoughts about this episode were expressed. Romain Gary’s friend, Francois Bondi, reported on the indifference the French read famous authors: one of the books of Gary has published twice under different titles, and readers did not notice this; Gary wanted to break the ice of inertia and reader indifference. And Michelle Tournier, a large prose writer himself, said: “I am delighted with Gary's luck.

He played to the end. I think that suicide is connected with this story. And the books of Emil Ajara are excellent: Romain Gary surpassed himself. Of course, this is fraud; But fraud is a property of fiction: the writer certainly composes both characters and himself. ” Another of the participants in the conversation, the professor-psychiatrist, called Romain Gari a big prose writer, and Emil Ajara as a great writer.

Romain Gary repeatedly admitted that he could not be “in his own skin” for a long time. One name, one person was too little for all the contradictory "I" Gary. Despite the Christian deification of suffering, ridicuating the craving for pompous drama, he constantly fought with his own depression and suffered from thoughts of suicide. Calling in each of his books to respect a person regardless of his race, religion, bank account, he simultaneously “fought with rods” of the same person for his baseness and vulgarity.

Gloring to the great lover and heart -release, he did not get tired of repeating that he hates male “Machism” and knows only two “feminine” men - Jesus Christ and himself. Romain Gary had two dreams: to write books for his pleasure, never publishing them, and create an “absolute romance”, where the author and the hero will be the same face. The first dream, to the joy of readers and, perhaps, Gary himself, remained unrealistic: his books printed various publishers, offering good fees.

But for the embodiment of the second dream, Romain Gary made every effort. He came up with everything: himself, his doubles, his books, his fate. His whole life became a novel. The note for the press was the following content: “D. Day of D. Jin Syberg, ex -wife Romain Gary, who committed suicide a year before. For lovers of broken hearts, please do not worry. Of course, this can be attributed to the account of depression.

I finally reached the limit of expression. ” Fantastic in creativity: Romain Gary is not a science fiction writer, but has repeatedly used fantastic techniques in his works. So, in the novel “Dance of Genghis-Him”, the narrator is the soul of a Jew killed during the Holocaust, settling in the eyes of his executioner, and another hero-death. The hero of the novel “The Sorcerer” lived for more than two hundred years, waiting for a person to love in the world as much as he is.

And in the book “Save our souls”, the brilliant inventor comes up with a way to turn human souls into fuel. Note to the biography:.
