Funny biography of Pushkin

The funny moments from childhood Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin seem to be different in a different way, because he is called the sun of Russian poetry and the father of the modern Russian literary language. In a huge amount, his works in the lessons are studied every year, and many children know Pushkin’s biography better than themselves. In the year on June 6, Alexander Sergeyevich would have turned a year.

On this day, I would like to talk not about the books of the poet and his verses, but about the funny and interesting moments of his childhood. They are unlikely to talk about this in schools! Many education think that since Pushkin's family was noble, they were very rich. Not really! Although his father, Sergey Lvovich, was very limited in funds, he spared nothing for his children.

Sasha and his older sister Olya studied only with the best teachers. Father hired them for home education for the best recommendations. Therefore, when it was time for little Sasha to enter the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, he passed the exams well. Especially the examiners were surprised by his knowledge of Russian and French. Later, the poet’s friends recalled that little Sasha was very read.

It turns out that his knowledge was much better than that of rich noble children! He really knew a lot and had a good memory. Of course, the boy’s love for books play a large role in this. In childhood, he regularly disappeared in a huge library on the Zakharovo estate and read no fairy tales or uncomplicated stories, but philosophical and historical works, which often surprised adults.

The unrecognized genius Olya was 2 years older than Alexander. They gently loved each other and always shared the most secret. Therefore, after the death of the poet, Olga often shared memories of their children's period. For example, she said that somewhere until the age of six, little Sasha was not at all special. Which genius is? Chubby, clumsy, silent. He did not show much interest in the games, was closed, so he preferred to spend time either alone or with grandmother Maria Alekseevna.

It would be very soft to call little Sasha with a non -standard baby. Parents did not understand him, since his mood changed often. He did not like to teach lessons, but composed poetry for a sweet soul! Father treated this occupation of his son philosophically - he will grow up, change. But Mom Nadezhda Osipovna was angry because she could not understand - what would grow out of him with such an attitude to study and with love for “useless” compositions?

When Sasha was 9 years old, the tutors began to be assigned to him. One of them was Monsieur, who loved to follow Sasha and teach him for any “step to the left”. The channel was distinguished by passion not only to moralizing, but also to poetry, like little Alexander. His poems, which is not surprising, were full of didactics and instructions. Pushkin’s father once got acquainted with them, but did not penetrate.

Perhaps this is what wounded pride of the channel. Once the tutor told Nadezhda Osipovna that her son dares to write poetry, and this lesson definitely interferes with his studies. Because of one unpleasant situation, from the hands of Little Pushkin they simply pulled out a notebook with his first poem called “Toliad”, the channel knew what exactly the young master was composing.

Right in front of the boy he read his poem, curved, grimaced, found fault with every little thing, ridiculed the plot and description. With contempt, the channel ordered the boy to read his creation loudly. But Pushkin grabbed a notebook with tears in his eyes, threw it into the fire and all evening from resentment beat her fists at the chest ... Support came from where no one expected.

The father of the future poet learned about what had happened. Contrary to the expectations, Sergey Lvovich experienced pride in his son when he found out what interesting poem he wrote, and therefore was upset due to its destruction. And the envious tutor soon quit ... Arapchik is interesting that from a young age, despite the closed character, little Sasha was distinguished by a very sharp tongue and a good sense of humor.

He skillfully noticed the smallest details, for which Olya especially loved her brother. And Pushkin, as it should be the heir to African blood, his great -grandfather was Abram Petrovich Hannibal, a native of Ethiopia, was distinguished by a dark -skinned skin tone and thick curly hair, which also often attracted his eyes to the boy.

One fall, the Pushkin family received guests. The father and uncle of the future poet were friends with Senator Ivan Ivanovich Dmitriev - wit, poet and a great lover of literature. According to the custom, having crossed the hands of the present ladies, Dmitriev came up to say hello to Little Sasha. Seeing how his swarthy face with a collar of a white shirt contrasts, Ivan Ivanovich exclaimed: “Look, what arap!” And indeed: after the smallpox, the face of Ivan Ivanovich was very rippled once.

Pushkin’s mother was shocked by the trick of her son and immediately threw an angry look at him. But Dmitriev was not angry at all! On the contrary, as a huge connoisseur of jokes and puns, he appreciated the sense of humor of the Arapchik.He laughed and told Sergei Lvovich that his son was a great wit and clearly went to his father. That evening, Little Pushkin seemed to Dmitriev in all its glory.

For example, when Ivan Ivanovich lasted one of his fables, Sasha repeated her word for word by heart, and even sparked the manners and speech of the author! The kidnapper of the first poetic attempts by Sasha Pushkin were references to the books he read. He was always inspired by something! Moliere, a French playwright, whose comedies were especially in love with unexpected turns and funny situations, fell in love.

Once, the future poet tried to simulate the play of Moliere “The kidnapper”. He even created a home theater in the living room, however, Sister Olya was the only audience. When Sasha went out with his improvisation on the stage and began the performance, Ole the plot seemed terribly familiar. This is the Moliere "kidnapper"! The sister immediately whistled from the village boys, showing the failed actor that she had learned about plagiarism.

Sasha was surprised at the nursing insight, but immediately got out of the situation, immediately composing a verse that was not devoid of self -irony: tell me, for which the “kidnapper” alas! Because the poor fellow, the writer abducted him at Moliere. Olya remembered this "epigram on herself" for life. The invited sang songs, read poetry, talked about literature.

Usually the restless Sasha Pushkin behaved quietly enough. However, when one guest came out and from an overabundance of emotions began to pomping his verse, with a pathos climbing a chair, Little Sasha barely restrained the laughter. The guest, meanwhile, waved his hands and shouted at the top of his voice: this dagger! And this check! Then the future poet could not stand it and burst out laughing into his voice.

As usual, Mom Nadezhda Osipovna snapped at him with such anger that Sasha had to leave. After some time, Olya found her brother and said that mother was no longer angry with him. And all because the tutorlins squint, Monsieur Zhille, said the following about Sasha: “A wonderful child! How early he began to understand everything! God forbid that this child lives and lives. You will see what will be of it.

” It was difficult to find Pushkin-lyceum player in the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, where Pushkin, a lyceum student without a nickname, hit the 12th years. Everyone had them - very well -aimed, accurate, sometimes funny. Of course, Pushkin did not go to take this into account - his character and interesting appearance suggested “on the nickname”. The very first nickname of the future poet was the "Frenchman." All because even before entering the Lyceum, he perfectly explained in French, and also adored the French literature of Voltaire, Moliere, Rousseau.

Liveness, energy, restlessness and restlessness gave Pushkin the nickname "Egoza." But the most interesting and memorable was another nickname - "a mixture of a tiger with a monkey." So Pushkin was nicknamed for temper, unique appearance, features of facial expressions and behavior as a whole. Studying was given to Alexander Sergeyevich with great difficulty.

If humanitarian objects did not cause him difficulties, then arithmetic forced young Sasha to literally suffer. Once the teacher called him to the board so that the lyceum student solve the problem. He wrote something for a long time, thought, shifted from foot to foot ... When the teacher asked what X was equal to, Pushkin thoughtlessly answered: "Zero." Apparently, for the teacher, such an answer was not amazing, because he said: “...

you, Pushkin, in my class all ends with zero. Sit down in your place and write poetry. ” That is exactly what the future poet did. By the way, in many lessons, he simply plunged with his head into reading books, for which he often expelled from the office. In the Lyceum, the following poetic joke even went among classmates of little Sasha: what does Pushkin read? Go from class with God, do not come back!

As you can see, even in childhood, Pushkin showed his extraordinary mind and the ability to self -irony.
