The great Russian poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin created works that have become classics of world literature. His poetry is exactly music – beautiful and expressive. What fairy tales Pushkin wrote, kids know, because mothers read them from the cradle about the fabulous Lukomorye.
Alexander Sergeevich was born in June 1799 in the family of a hereditary nobleman. He received a good primary education at home. Until the age of 12, he was taught by tutors, and then he entered the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum. During his studies, he created the first literary works that revealed his remarkable talent, and at the age of 15 he first published his poem in the journal Vestnik Evropy.
What fairy tales Pushkin wrote, the whole world knows, this is one of the monuments to the poet in St. Petersburg
Young Pushkin, according to his grandmother, Maria Alexandrovna Hannibal, was smart, but unbalanced, and often rushed from one extreme to another. The ardent character and courage of Pushkin in his mature years more than once led to a conflict with the ruling sovereign. The poet was expelled from the capital, then returned, promising royal protection.
The poet married at the age of 30 a secular beauty Goncharova. During the wedding, his ring fell and the candle went out, which Pushkin considered a bad omen. He was killed in the winter of 1837 in a duel, which took place because of offensive rumors about his wife and J. Dantes. Pushkin has four children left, and his descendants now live in different parts of the world.
