Brodsky poet biography

He is an extremely significant figure in the world of poetry. The writer has a difficult biography - persecution, misunderstanding, court and link. This prompted the author to emigrate, after which he received a worldwide recognition of the public. Childhood and youth Joseph Brodsky was born on May 24 in Leningrad. The boy’s father Alexander Brodsky was a military photographer, mother Maria Volpert - an accountant.

In m, the man was demobilized and then went to work as a photo correspondent in several newspapers. The child’s childhood coincided with war, blockade and hunger. The family survived, like hundreds of thousands of people. In M, mother and child were evacuated to Cherepovets. They returned to the small homeland after 2 years. Brodsky threw school, barely moving to the 8th grade.

He wanted to financially help his family, so he went to work at the Arsenal factory as an assistant milling holder. Then Joseph decided to be a submariner - it did not work. At one time, he was eager to become a doctor and even entered the morgue, but soon changed his mind. True, things did not go further than the intentions. Literature Joseph Alexandrovich said that he began to write poetry from the age of 18, although there are several works created in years.

In his youth, he wrote “Christmas romance”, “monument to Pushkin”, “from the outskirts to the center” and not only. The first creation that alerted the power of the Soviets was created in metro. The poem was called "Pilgrima." Next, the Creator wrote "Loneliness". Here, the writer tried to rethink what happened to him and how to get out of this situation, when newspapers and magazines closed the doors in front of him.

Joseph Alexandrovich read the “Jewish cemetery”, which caused a serious scandal in literary and public circles. The jury under pressure was forced to condemn the young writer. A year later, the author met Akhmatova. She never doubted the poet’s talent and supported his work, believing in success. The native of Leningrad himself colleagues at that time was not particularly impressive, but the scale of the personality of the Soviet poetess delighted.

It also cited quotes from the poem of Brodsky's “procession” and other works. Journalists also united the playwright's lines “Love the Motherland of Friends” and “Pity the Passing the Motherland of Alien” into one: “I love someone else's homeland”. In January, letters of “indignant citizens” requiring the poet were published in the same publication, and on February 13, the writer was arrested for parasitism.

The next day in the chamber he had a heart attack. The starting persecution laid down a heavy burden on Brodsky. The situation was aggravated due to a breakdown of relations with the lover of Marina Basmanova. As a result, Joseph Alexandrovich made an attempt to die, but unsuccessfully. The persecution continued until May, when the publicist was given a choice - a psychiatric hospital or emigration.

The writer was already in the psychiatric hospital, and, as he said, she was much worse than the prison. The playwright chose emigration. Before leaving, the poet tried to leave himself a chance to stay in his native country. But they never heard Brodsky. Emigration in July Master has moved to the United States. After that, the emigrant participated in the International Poetic Festival in London.

Then he taught the history of Russian literature and poetry in the Michigan, Columbia and New York universities. At the same time, Brodsky wrote an essay and translated the verses of Vladimir Nabokov into English. The collection “Less unit” was published in M, and next year Joseph Alexandrovich received the Nobel Prize in the field of literature. In these verses and prose - all the pain of a person who was not allowed to take on the last path of parents.

In M in the Soviet Union they began to publish books of the writer. Brodsky more than once received invitations from his homeland, but constantly hesitated on this visit - he did not want the attention of the press and publicity. Personal life of the first great love of the author was the artist Marina Basmanova, whom he met in metro. They met for a long time, then lived together.

In M, the couple was born a son Andrei, but when the author moved to the United States, the passion decided to stay with the child in the Union without becoming his wife. Marianna Kuznetsova served as a ballerina in the Cordabale of the Mariinsky Theater. There is extremely little known about her personal life with Brodsky, but Joseph Alexandrovich dedicated poetry to the performer.

Shortly before emigration, the artist gave the playwright a girl Anastasia. Later, Brodsky married her, and after 3 years they had a daughter Anna.

Unfortunately, to see how the heiress grows, the writer was not destined. Brodsky’s lifestyle is known as the famous smoker. Despite 4 heart operations underwent, he never quit smoking. Doctors urgently advised Joseph Alexandrovich to tie with a pernicious habit, to which he replied: “Life is remarkable precisely because there are no guarantees, no and never.” In addition, the Nobel Prize laureate adored cats.

He argued that these creatures have no "not a single ugly movement." In many photos, the Creator appeared with graceful animals in his arms. Death Joseph Alexandrovich suffered from angina pectoris even before emigration. The state of health of the master of the pen was unstable.In M, he was undergoing heart surgery, and the American clinic sent an official letter to the USSR with a request to allow her parents to leave the Brodsky exit to care for his son.

Parents themselves gave a petition 12 times, but each time they refused. The Soviet authorities refused him a request to come to the funeral. The death of loved ones crushed the health of the writer. On the evening of January 27, Brodsky folded his briefcase, wished his wife good night and went up to the office - he needed to work before the start of the spring semester.

On the morning of January 28, the wife found her wife already without signs of life. Doctors stated that the cause of the death of Joseph Alexandrovich was a heart stop due to a heart attack. 2 weeks before the death, the teacher bought himself a place in the cemetery in New York, not far from Broadway. There he was buried, fulfilling the last will of the dissident who, until the last sigh, loved his homeland.

In June, the body of the deceased was reburied in Venice, at the San Michele cemetery. A few years later, a tombstone of the artist Vladimir Radunsky was erected on the grave of Joseph Brodsky. On the back of the statue, the inscription on Latin - Letum Non Omnia Finit was made, which means "not everything ends with death." Dozens of art and documentary films are devoted to the memory of the creative biography and the life of an eminent author.

Thus, the dramatic picture “One and a half rooms, or a sentimental trip to their homeland”, based on the works of the playwright, received 3 “Nika” awards, including for “Best Directorate Work”. Then the creators turned to Nikolai Solodnikov, who provided his Utuub-site “Mosthenepozner”. Thus, the film work was published on the network in M ​​- in honor of the flight of Brodsky.
