Pushkin in life
14.99 €
Before you is not another bibliographic reference book, or a brief biography of the poet, no, you are waiting for something unusual - a meeting with a "living" book about a living Pushkin. In ways we may not have imagined him: how he looked, how he studied, what he thought and dreamed of, his friends and enemies. This story is first of all about Pushkin-man and only then about the great Pushkin-poet. His appearance is recreated from the memories of his contemporaries and historical documents. The reader learned the main thing: how Pushkin’s life proceeded, how he looked, what some contemporaries and descendants thought about him. All this was very little, the most necessary things were really collected, but a small example shows what Veresaev managed to do in the development of this idea. His extensive editing achieved portraiture. Here is how V. Veresayev himself wrote about it: For a number of years I made extracts for myself from the primary sources concerning Pushkin’s character, his moods, habits, appearance, etc. As the extracts accumulated, I brought them into systematic order. And then one day, reviewing the accumulated extracts, I suddenly saw that in front of me is the most original and fascinating book, in which Pushkin stands up completely as if alive. V. Veresaev
The first publication of this book (1926-1927) caused heated discussions in Pushkin, represented by Veresayev, did not fit into the previously accepted standards. Nevertheless, the book was very popular: it was repeatedly reprinted and still, almost a hundred years after its appearance, has not lost its relevance.
