The biography of Bryusov is the poet

The latest news Biography Alexander Blok considered himself unworthy to review this genius and even print with him in the same journal. The fact is that the main poet of the Silver Age, having read the works of Valery Bryusov, was so amazed at his creations that he immediately put himself on the rank below. Contemporaries deified the poet, whose poems lovers of literature quote to this day.

Many saw in Bryusov the Messiah, coming through the waters of intricate lines and denoting new rounds of literature. The master of the pen is rightfully considered the founder of Russian symbolism and the forerunner of acmeism, he acquired both admirers and followers and insidious ill -wishers. Valery Yakovlevich is known not only by poems - this talented writer also showed himself in translations, journalism and non -trivial prose.

Childhood and youth, the master of Russian symbolism, was born a cold winter day on December 1 13 in the heart of Russia. The future poet grew up and was brought up in a wealthy merchant family with his sister Nadezhda Bryusova, who became a professor at the Moscow Conservatory. Valery Yakovlevich has an interesting genealogy. His paternal grandfather, Kuzma Andreevich, was a serf of the landowner Bruce and two years before the abolition of serfdom - the reform carried out by Alexander II - bought out to the will and began his trade business.

Thanks to the perseverance and hard work of Kuzma Andreevich, he knocked out of the mud in the riches and acquired a two -story mansion on Tsvetnoy Boulevard in Moscow. On the line of the mother, the grandfather of the writer was Alexander Yakovlevich Bakulin, known to contemporaries as a poet-recorder and the author of the collection of “Fables of Provincial”.

Perhaps it was this person who influenced the calling of Valery Yakovlevich. As for the father of Valery, Yakov Kuzmich was a figure of mysterious and ambiguous, he sympathized with the ideas of the people's revolutionaries, who, driven by the socialist ideas of Alexander Herzen, in all ways wanted to approach the intelligentsia and find their place in the world. The head of the family was a gambling person: carried away by horse races, Bryusov Sr.

instantly drove all the condition at the bets and almost remained without a penny in his pocket. Thus, in childhood, Valery knew about the naturalistic ideas of Charles Darwin much more than the details of the being of King Solomon and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Young Bryusov was getting addicted to literature early. Instead of playing with boys in the yard, the future author of the poem “Coming Huns” spent time reading classical works and boulevard novels, we can say that the young man swallowed books one after another.

Even scientific articles, which accidentally fell into the hands of a young man, did not remain without due attention. It is also known that Valery Yakovlevich received a brilliant education, he studied in two prestigious gymnasiums, and in recent years of staying in the school bench began to show interest in the queen of sciences of mathematics and successfully solved the most complex equations and tasks.

Perhaps the name of Bryusov would stand on a par with Archimedes, Francois Vietet and Rene Descartes, but the young man chose a different, creative path. Having earned a certificate of maturity, the young man continued to receive education and became a student of Moscow University named after M. Lomonosov-studied at the Faculty of History and Philology.

The books of Valery Bryusov Valery Bryusov from childhood realized his calling, so at the summer he was engaged in the composition of poems. Yakov Kuzmich supported the offspring in all endeavors, so he sent the creative attempts of his beloved child on publishers and even sent his essay on vacation with his family to the Children's magazine "Sincere Word". The “Letter to the editor” written by the summer boy was published in the year.

Although Bryusov’s early poems were folded with a bang, the first stories of the young man could not be called successful. It is worth noting that when young Valery took an inkwell and a feather, he was inspired by the classic of Russian literature Nikolai Nekrasov. Later, Bryusov began to admire Semen Renson. It is noteworthy that already in the year Bryusov set himself the goal of becoming a distributor of symbolism in Russia.

Symbolists tried to attach importance to the existence of every soul and endow the main character with the whole spectrum of human experiences. Lev Trotsky said that the emergence of this course is "the desire to forget, to be on the other side of good and evil." Bryusov’s views were preceded by a fascination with French poets, he enjoyed the works of Charles Baudelaire, Verlaine’s fields, Stefan Mallarme and ultimately became the author of the drama “decadents” of the “end of the century”, a year.

The poet shocked and puzzled his colleagues, publishing in Mostikh from one line “Oh, close your pale legs”, which caused a number of questions. In the year, Valery received a diploma and began to intensively engage in literature and development of the theory of symbolism. Around the same time, Bryusov became close to Konstantin Balmont.It got to the point that at the beginning of the 20th century, Bryusov dedicated a friend Tertia Vigilia “The Third Guard”, which literary critics consider the first sprout of the urban stage of the writer’s work: the author increasingly sang the vasts of the noisy city and meticulously described even the smallest details.

After 3 years, Bryusov’s creative biography was replenished with a collection of civilian lyrics by Urbi et orbi “degrees and the world”. The meeting included Elegy to the “woman”, the ballad “slave”, as well as sonnets, poems, odes and messages. All works from the “wreath” are written under the influence of a fierce revolution, which could not but affect the mood of the author. In this book there are few poems about love, but the active civic position of the writer is expressed.

In the year, the debut novel by Valery Yakovlevich “Fiery Angel” was born. The plot was based on the relationship between Bryusov, Andrei Bely and Nina Petrovskaya, however, events with the main characters are not taking place in Moscow, but in medieval Europe. The writer fixes the work with fantastic elements and borrows motives from Faust Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

In addition, the period is the poem “Our Demon” dedicated to the fate of the Russian people. After the revolution later, Valery Bryusov’s work is correlated with the revolution, and judging by the works of the poet, he, like the Marxists, began to praise the Bolshevik coup and became the founder of Russian literary Leninian, contradicted his postulate, stated in the poem “Young Poet” for the year.

According to writers, Valery Yakovlevich sought to become part of a new era under a common rumble, but he did not find the support of the public and could not withstand competition from the new Soviet poetry, which was identified with Vladimir Mayakovsky and Igor Seversin. It is believed that gradually the poetic gift of Bryusov began to dissipate, disappear.

For the most part, he devoted his career to the teaching, the publication of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia and other duties related to the works of other authors. Another page of that time was the editing of the collection “Poetry of Armenia”. Personal life, publicist Dmitry Bykov,, by decision of the Ministry of Justice of Russia, was included in the list of individuals-foreign agents, it was difficult to find a reputation worse than Bryusovskaya in Russian literature.

Indeed, some contemporaries and literary critics considered Valery Yakovlevich a narcissistic and arrogant person. But, be that as it may, it is worth saying that Valery Bryusov had a tremendous influence on his followers, acting as a teacher for novice authors who, in their work, tried to imitate the manner of the master. And if for critics he was known in vain, then colleagues in the workshop considered Bryusov a guiding star, a priest of culture.

As for his personal life, Valery Yakovlevich was married only once: in the year, Bryusov made a marriage proposal to Czech by origin of John Runt, who agreed. The lovers lived hand in hand to death, and John Matveevna was both a faithful wife and a muse that inspired the poet to new works. There were no children in the Bryusov family. The fidelity of the wife, however, was not appreciated by Valery Yakovlevich.

About his novel with Nina Petrovskaya, who became the basis of the "Fiery Angel", was an idea of ​​all Moscow society. The relationship that lasted several years ended with an attempt by Petrovskaya to shoot his lover. It is interesting that with the help of the same pistol, another girl passed away, passionately in love with Bryusova, - a poet, as she called herself, Nadezhda Lvova.

Death the founder of symbolism in Russia died on October 9 in Moscow. The cause of death is inflammation of the lungs. The great poet was devoted to the earth in the Novodevichy cemetery. It is known that after the death of her lover, John Matveevna published unrelated works of her husband, including his diaries. Fragments were excluded from the latter, glorifying Valery Yakovlevich's marital infidelity.
