A.S.Pushkin as the sun of Russian poetry
F.M.Dostoevsky named Pushkin as ‘sun of Russian poetry’ and was right. To understand it one can give such example: the Beatles is in the music. And if to multiply their significance in the music to the talent to analyze the man and society we get the image of Pushkin, image of his that sun.
Like many geniuses Pushkin probably couldn’t assesst the high of his oeuvre (творчество) though guessed (if to remember his verses about his monument and always opened people paths to it)
Dostoevsky values Pushkin not only like the great poet but like real prophet and real inter-national artist who could see and understand soul of folks. He could describe Italians like Italian, Englishmen like English and always tried to find some truth.
His external life can’t tell us about his internal life in its entirety (в полноте). Only his works. But though a survey (наблюдение, исследование) to his life can help to understand his personality, his genius. Isn’t it surprisingly that he never was abroad… or the fact is that not small part of life he was in exiles (ссылка)… or his sincere amorousness (влюбленность)…
New Russian literature beguan from Pushkin. And it still stays within the Pushkin’s language still now. His language transformed not only literature but spoken language, people language. To understand the old books it was necessary to translate them again. Even the Bible. He searched the true everywhere and kept findings it in the folk spirit again and again. When did he communicate with folk? Hard to remember… only his nurse in the childhood - Arina Radionovna… But his heroes have true folk nature, temper.
In former times I saw in Pushkin only one of the poets. Now it seems to me that it's necessary must to reach the level of grow to Pushkin, to reread his verses taking in mind that time, that society, that Russian culture and world culture.
He died, felt at 37 years old. His works (Boris Godunov, Ev.Onegin, Little tragedies, Cap.dougher and so on and so on) ‘weigh’ hundreds years. So, forward to Pushkin?
