Bryusov. Valery Bryusov In I Bryusov biography presentation

The famous Russian poet Valery Yakovlevich Bryusov was born in December 1873 in Moscow into a merchant family. His father, despite belonging to the “practical class,” was very interested in natural sciences and literature. He passed on his love of books to his son. Since childhood, little Valera listened to conversations on “smart” topics and read scientific books. He was especially attracted to biographies of great people.

At the age of 11, Bryusov is sent to a gymnasium, where he is immediately accepted into second grade. The boy is so different in intelligence from the rest of the students that at first they mercilessly mock him. A little later, schoolchildren begin to understand that Valera not only knows a lot of interesting things, but can also retell books in their entirety. Bryusov makes friends. Since the age of thirteen, he has dreamed of writing books himself. In the gymnasium, in addition to literature and history, astronomy and philosophy become the favorite subjects of the future poet. While studying, he published a handwritten magazine, “Beginning,” which became his first “literary work.”

In the year of admission, Bryusov first came across works by French symbolists, which made an indelible impression on him. In the years he published his first literary collection entitled “Russian Symbolists”. Almost all works were written by Bryusov, although most were signed under different pseudonyms. The poet’s second, already author’s, collection “Masterpieces” is being published. Both books evoke harsh criticism, but Bryusov is not at all upset by this, because he considers himself the bearer of new literary ideas and is confident that everything new makes its way “with a fight.” The new follower of the poetry of symbolism is accepted into their circle by famous writers of this direction: F. Sollogub, D. Merezhkovsky, Z. Gippius and others. Bryusov meets weekly with Moscow modernists. During this period, he did a lot of translations of foreign classics. Begins to write fantastic works.

In 1897, he went to Germany for the first time, where he found his personal happiness. His wife becomes his lifelong assistant in literary work. After graduating from university, Bryusov plunged headlong into literary activity. He has been working in the editorial office of the Russian Archives magazine for two years. Later he moved to the new publishing house "Scorpion", which publishes works of modernists. He is directly involved in the creation of the best Symbolist magazine, “Scales”. In 1900, Bryusov’s collection of poems “The Third Watch” was published, after which the poet received real recognition.

Creative flourishing In 1903 and 1906, on the wave of creative take-off, the poet published his two best poetry books - “To the City and to the World” and “Wreath”. Gradually, his poetry becomes simpler and more soulful, more understandable in the expression of feelings. In the first collection of prose "Earth's Axis" there are fantastic works, as well as the drama "Earth" - in modern terms - a disaster novel. In 1908, the writer completed the historical novel “Fire Angel” with Gothic elements. In 1909, he conducted a study that can be called the first work on Russian science fiction studies - “Towards a Characteristic of Gogol”, where he explores the work of Gogol as a science fiction writer. In two years () Bryusov wrote a collection of stories “Nights and Days”, novellas, the novel “Altar of Victory” and many new science fiction works. For the first time, he is engaged in theoretical developments in writing science fiction stories and novels.

During the First World War, Bryusov worked for some time at the military front as a correspondent. But he soon returns home, horrified by the senselessness and cruelty of the war. The writer’s works are increasingly moving away from the positions of symbolism and abstract motives. Bryusov begins to “see” and admire the man of labor who transforms the earth and conquers the natural elements.

The October Revolution turns out to be consonant with his thoughts and aspirations. Bryusov fully accepts it, becomes an active supporter of socialist transformations and even a member of the Communist Party. Already from the beginning of 1918, when the majority of the intelligentsia was still in a wait-and-see or even hostile position towards Soviet power, Bryusov came to A.V. Lunacharsky, who then held the post of People's Commissar of Education, and offered his help. Valery Yakovlevich is doing a lot of work to revive culture in Soviet Russia. He heads scientific libraries, deals with issues of art education, is a member of the State Academic Council, a professor at Moscow University, chairman of the All-Russian Union of Poets, edits the magazine “Artistic Word” and is involved in many other things to raise the cultural level of the people. At the same time, he manages to write and releases six collections of new poems, writes fantastic works aimed at the future, and experiments with new rhythms of verse. Through hunger and the devastation of the civil war, he sees a bright and happy future for his country and is ready to work hard for this.

Selected Quotes Talent, even genius, will honestly only give you slow success if given it. It is not enough! It is not enough for me. We must choose something else... Find a guiding star in the fog. And I see it: this is decadence. Yes! Whatever you say, whether it is false or funny, it moves forward, develops, and the future will belong to it, especially when it finds a worthy leader. And I will be this leader! Yes I! (March 4, 1893, diary). My youth is the youth of a genius. I lived and acted in such a way that only great deeds can justify my behavior. (Ibid., 1898).

If you have talent, hard work will improve it, and if you don't have talent, hard work will make up for it. John Ruskin BRYUSOV Valery Yakovlevich

In Russian literature, one can name two authors who, although not naturally brilliant, managed to achieve enormous heights in poetry through hard work. In the 19th century, such a person was Nekrasov, at the beginning of the 20th century – our today’s hero – Valery Yakovlevich Bryusov. Valery Yakovlevich Bryusov

Balmont: “A poet who has not overcome his own mediocrity.” Bunin: “A diligent copyist of French modernists and old Russian poets.” Chulkov: “The amazing monotony of diversity.” Bely: “In the pre-dawn fog we could see mountain peaks. But when the sun rose, a solid hill appeared in front of us.” But despite such unflattering reviews, all contemporaries recognized Bryusov’s titanic ability to work in the field of literary creativity. Contemporaries about the poet

Poet, prose writer, literary theorist, translator. Born on December 1 in Moscow into a wealthy merchant family. Bryusov recalled: “Portraits of Chernyshevsky and Pisarev hung above my father’s table. I was raised... in the principles of materialism and atheism.” He studied at the gymnasium of the famous teacher L. Polivanov, who had a noticeable influence on the future poet. Already at the age of thirteen, Bryusov decided to become a writer. The interests of the high school student Bryusov are literature, history, philosophy, and astronomy. Having entered Moscow University in 1892 into the history department of the historical and philological faculty, he studied history, philosophy, literature, art, and languages in depth. BRYUSOV Valery Yakovlevich (1873 - 1924)

Between 1894 and 1895 he published (under the pseudonym Valery Maslov) three collections of Russian Symbolists, which included many of his own poems. In 1895, the first collection of exclusively Bryusov’s poems was published - “Chefs d’oeuvre” (“Masterpieces”); The very title of the collection, which, according to critics, did not correspond to the contents of the collection (narcissism was characteristic of Bryusov) caused attacks from the press. Literary activity

After graduating from the university in 1899, Bryusov devoted himself entirely to literature. For several years he worked in P. I. Bartenev’s magazine “Russian Archive”. In the second half of the 1890s, Bryusov became close to symbolist poets, in particular with K. D. Balmont, and became one of the initiators and leaders of the Scorpion publishing house founded in 1899 by S. A. Polyakov, which united supporters of the “new art” . Bryusov and the Symbolists

Bryusov is constantly looking for new forms of verse, creating exotic rhymes, unusual images: The shadow of uncreated creatures sways in a dream Like patching blades On an enamel wall. Violet hands On the enamel wall Half-asleeply they draw sounds In the ringing silence... Who could write these lines? “A madman whose place is only in a psychiatric hospital,” this was the opinion of many of the author’s contemporaries of these lines.

Bryusov never claimed to be the poet of the era, but strived to be a leader, mentor, and organizer of literary societies. Thus, fascinated by the French symbolists, Bryusov creates about two thousand poems in a year, publishing them under ten fictitious names in three collective collections of “Russian Symbolists”, thus claiming that a unique symbolist movement has appeared on Russian soil. Bryusov organized such magazines as “Libra” and “Scorpio”, was constantly engaged in translations, taught literary theory, telling his students: “Can you write an opera? It’s no easier to create a poem.”

This is what Bryusov saw as the task of art: “Art, perhaps, is the greatest power that humanity possesses. While all the crowbars of science, all the axes of social life are not able to break the doors and walls that close us in, Art conceals within itself a terrible dynamite that will crush these walls, moreover, it is the sesame from which these doors will dissolve themselves ". It was the Symbolists who had great faith in art, in its supreme role, transforming earthly existence. They put art above life. Art is the greatest power

Bryusov was an experimenter in poetry, a poet-engineer, wrote the book “The Science of Verse”, where he introduced the term “DOLNIK”, he has acrostics, examples of hyperdactylic: The goblin Scratches his beard, He trims a stick gloomily. And hyperhyperdactylic rhymes: Cold, secretly Shackling the body, Cold Enchanting the soul... Rays from the moon are attracted, Touching the heart with needles. Many people know his famous monopoem: O close your pale legs

The heroes of Bryusov's poetry are as strong and purposeful as the author himself, which is why Bryusov often turns to historical figures: Assargadon, Cleopatra, Mary Stuart, Napoleon. Let's turn to the poem "Julius Caesar"

They shout: the right is ours! They curse: you are a rebel, You raised the banner of bloody war, You raised brother against brother! But what have you done to Rome, you consuls, and you senate! And the stones of the streets speak of your unbearable oppression! You keep telling me about the people, Calling me to protect the peace, When Milo and Clodius are in your presence In the squares entering into battle! You shout to me that I do not dare to argue with the will of the Senate, You who betrayed Rome to Pompey To the power of the ax and spear! At least you would cover the coffin of laws with the laurels of distant countries! But what! Roman legions Badges - in the temples of the Parthians! They have been waiting for you in your native Erebus for a long time! You are degenerates of bygone times! Enough debate. The die is cast. Swim, my horse, across the Rubicon! "Julius Caesar"

What does the poem indicate to us about this historical figure? (Famous phrase). But is Bryusov really acting here as a historian? (No, he wants to draw parallels with 1905).

Indeed, Bryusov always sought to fit today into the historical context, and modernity for him is connected, first of all, with the image of the city.

What is the city shown against here? Is he destroying nature?). “I love big houses” I love big houses And the narrow streets of the city, - On the days when winter has not come, And autumn has blown cold. I love spaces, squares, enclosed by walls all around, - At an hour when there are no lanterns yet, And the confused stars glow. I love the city and the stones, Its roar and melodious noises, - At the moment when the song deeply melts, But in delight I hear the harmonies. 1898

Of course, Bryusov is known primarily as a poet, but he also wrote a lot of prose works that were accepted with interest by his contemporaries: the novels “Fire Angel” (1908) and “Altar of Victory” (1912), collections of stories and dramatic scenes - “Axis of the Earth” (1907) ), “Nights and Days” (1913).

After the revolution, Bryusov devoted himself to prosaic creativity: he created fantastic stories and novels. Bryusov accepts the revolution, actively cooperates with the new government, and does not try to emigrate. Because of this, he loses old friends, breaks off strong ties and dies alone.

Turning to the epigraph of our lesson, it can be argued that Bryusov set an example of the fact that geniuses are not only born, but also become. It is no coincidence that Marina Tsvetaeva said that she would not have peace until a monument to Bryusov with the inscription “Hero of Labor” was erected in Moscow. Hero of Labor

We see the intense work of creative thought in Bryusov’s portraits.

The sunset hit the red windows. A symphony of melancholy and gold, a fused choir of lights and sounds, seemed in a moment to be split: And in time, entering into an argument with the singer, the invisible powerful conductor tapped with a hammer blow, the shaft knocked on the coastal corners, breaking rocks, wild and drunk; And that’s all: the gentle sounds of sunset, the sparkle of the wind, and the fountain, babbling snowy stories, winged the ocean with a resounding thump! The sunset hit the red windows and, as if hammering on the keys, sang its passionate melodies; And the wind, with the violence of a violinist, was already preparing stormy melodies, knocking the branches.

Slide 5

The main features of Bryusov's creativity In Bryusov's poems, the reader is faced with opposite principles: life-affirming ones - love, calls to “conquer” life through labor, to the struggle for existence, to creation - and pessimistic ones. The main character in Bryusov's poetry is either a brave, courageous fighter, or a man despairing of life, completely perverted, seeing no other path other than the path to death. Bryusov's moods are sometimes contradictory; they replace each other without transitions.

Slide 6

In his poetry, Bryusov either strives for innovation, then again goes back to the time-tested forms of the classics. However, one cannot call the poet a successor to Pushkin and other classics, whose influence is felt in many of Bryusov’s poems - Bryusov developed a special form of classical verse - different from Pushkin’s language in its unusualness (exoticism, sometimes sophistication) - probably a consequence of internal experiences. Despite the desire for classical forms, Bryusov’s work is still not Empire, but Art Nouveau, which has absorbed the thoughts and images of previous literary generations - masculinity, harmony, epicness, majesty. In him we see a fusion of difficult-to-combine qualities.
