Russian poets of the 19th century and their works. Great Russian writers and poets: names, portraits, creativity

The past century has given humanity many talented authors. Writers of the 20th century worked in an era of global social upheaval and revolution, which was inevitably reflected in their works. Any historical event influenced literature - if you remember, then a large number of war novels were written during the Second World War and in the next 15 years.

The most famous Russian writers of the 20th century are Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Mikhail Bulgakov. Solzhenitsyn revealed the horror to the world Soviet camps in his work “The Gulag Archipelago”, for which he was subjected to severe criticism and persecution in our country. Later Solzhenitsyn was exiled to Germany, and he for a long time lived and worked abroad. It was returned to him only in 1990 by a special presidential decree, after which he was able to return to his homeland.

It is interesting that in our country the 20th century became the era of writers and poets in exile - abroad in different years turned out to be Ivan Bunin, Konstantin Balmont, Raisa Bloch and many others. Mikhail Bulgakov became famous throughout the world for his novel “The Master and Margarita” and the story “ dog's heart" It is noteworthy that he wrote the novel “The Master and Margarita” for more than 10 years - the basis of the work was created immediately, but editing continued long years, until the death of the writer. Mortally ill, Bulgakov brought the novel to perfection, but never had time to finish this work, so literary mistakes can be found in the work. And yet the novel “The Master and Margarita” became, perhaps, the best work of this genre in the entire 20th century.

Popular figures of the 20th century include, first of all, the queen of detective stories, Agatha Christie, and the creator of the best dystopia, Animal Farm, George Orwell. England has always given the world literary geniuses, such as William Shakespeare, H.G. Wells, Walter Scott and many others. Last century was no exception, and people in all countries are now reading books by Pratchett Terry, John Windom and

In general, the writers of the 20th century were not at all like their predecessors - the authors of the 19th century. became more diverse, and if in the 19th century there were only 3-4 main directions, then in the 20th there were an order of magnitude more of them. Stylistic and ideological diversity has given rise to many genres and movements, and the search for a new language has given us a whole galaxy of thinkers and philosophers, such as Marcel Proust and

Russian writers of the 20th century limited themselves mainly to three stylistic directions - realism, modernism and avant-garde. An interesting phenomenon in Russian literature of the last century was the revival of romanticism in its original form, this fact was most fully reflected in the works of Alexander Green, whose works are literally permeated by ineradicable dreaminess and exoticism.

Writers of the 20th century left a noticeable mark on world literature, and we can only hope that the authors of the twenty-first century will be no worse than their predecessors. Maybe somewhere a new Gorky, Pasternak or Hemingway is already creating.

Mommy, I'm going to die soon...
- Why such thoughts... after all, you are young, strong...
- But Lermontov died at 26, Pushkin - at 37, Yesenin - at 30...
- But you’re not Pushkin or Yesenin!
- No, but still..

Vladimir Semenovich’s mother recalled that she had such a conversation with her son. For Vysotsky, early death was something of a test of the “realness” of the poet. However, I cannot be sure of this. I'll tell you about myself. Since childhood, I “knew for sure” that I would become a poet (of course, a great one) and die early. I won’t live to see thirty, or at least forty. Can a poet live longer?

In biographies of writers, I always paid attention to the years of life. I calculated at what age the person died. I tried to understand why this happened. I think a lot of people do this writing people. I don't hope to figure out why early deaths, but I’ll try to collect materials, collect existing theories and dream up - I’m unlikely to be a scientist - my own.

First of all, I collected information about how Russian writers died. I entered the age at the time of death and the cause of death into the table. I tried not to analyze it, just enter the data into the required columns. I looked at the result - it was interesting. Prose writers of the 20th century, for example, often died from cancer (the leader was lung cancer). But in the world in general - according to WHO - among oncological diseases, lung cancer is the most common and the cause of death. So is there a connection?

I can’t decide whether it’s necessary to look for “writing” diseases, but I feel that there is some sense in this search.

Russian prose writers of the 19th century

The average life expectancy of Russian people in the 19th century was about 34 years. But these data do not provide an idea of ​​how long the average adult lived to live, since the statistics are heavily influenced by high infant mortality.

Russian poets of the 19th century

In 19th-century Russia, poets died differently than prose writers. The latter often died from pneumonia, but among the former, no one died from this disease. Yes, poets have left before. Of the prose writers, only Gogol died at 42, the rest much later. And of the lyricists, it is rare who lived to be 50 (the longest-liver is Fet).

Russian prose writers of the 20th century

There are theories according to which diseases can be caused psychological reasons(some esotericists believe that any illness is caused by spiritual or mental problems). This topic has not yet been sufficiently developed by science, but there are many books in stores like “All Diseases from Nerves.” For lack of anything better, let's resort to popular psychology.

Russian poets of the 20th century

Cancer associated with a feeling of resentment, a deep mental wound, a feeling of the futility of one’s actions, one’s own uselessness. Lungs symbolize freedom, willingness and ability to accept and give. The twentieth century in Russia, many writers were “suffocating”, were forced to remain silent or not say everything they considered necessary. The cause of cancer is also called disappointment in life.

Heart diseases are caused by overwork, prolonged stress, and the belief in the need for tension.

A cold People who have too many events going on in their lives at the same time get sick. Pneumonia (pneumonia) - desperate.

Throat diseases - creative impotence, crisis. Also, the inability to stand up for oneself.

They had a huge influence on the development of prose. And many of the elements that they introduced into literature have become classical norms. Pushkin and Gogol not only developed such a direction as realism, but also created completely new artistic types. One of them is the image “ little man", which later received its development not only in the works of Russian authors, but also in foreign literature nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
