This is a podcast of life im wonderful with you, im his presenter Alexei Varlamov and were talking about alexander green, the first book he wrote was called the invisibility cap, and it was just dedicated to eras, and it was published in 1907 or 1908 and its terribly insulting that her not then they didnt really read it, they didnt really read it now, he is writing a second book, also a realistic book, very so gloomy. Eh, are they in the spirit before andreev in the spirit of kuprin in the spirit of early gorky, who, by the way, everyone read him, everyone knew him in one way or another degrees helped him, although treated a little arrogantly. And this is special, no matter how greens situation, he was never considered a major serious writer. And, of course, it depressed him. But you know, he once said such a phrase about himself that i am the writer of the tenth row there, but in this row, except for me. There is no one else. And this is true, if we take the literary situation of the silver age, where we had symbolists and mazhenists. Uh, i dont know, acmeists, realists, futurists , whoever, then there were many different isms, green will still keep to himself. And this is his isolated position in russian literature before the revolution after the revolution, but what makes this person , of course, unique, he was an incredible hard worker, and he was actually a person who was looking for seeing that his first two books, written in a realistic manner. Moreover , these are very good books, and repeating the terrible shame that they remained, in general , unnoticed green. Thats when he comes up with this very country of his greenland. Book. He begins to compose stories, he begins to invent heroes with foreign names. And the action of these stories takes place incomprehensibly, where it is incomprehensible. In what countries, but obviously. Some southern fictional countries and later critics will call this greens country, and the country of greenland, it must be said that when these stories were first published, many people suspected green that he did not tell these stories himself. And that he stole them, in general, this is the plot, as if plagiarism with stolen stories novels. He, apparently, in literature is such an eternal plot. But in the case of green , and there was such a bike, what does it mean that green allegedly killed some english captain, stole a chest with his stories from him, began to print, and under his own name all this, of course , complete nonsense, but, nevertheless, smoke, there is no fire without fire. Let not the english captain. But he shot at his beloved, and at that time it must be said, how soon it will be. After which he broke up with katya when he began to work, and as a writer, write his first books in his life entered another woman. She was the complete opposite of the wildebeest. And she came in, because he was put in prison again. So this time he was put in jail, because he a lived without a passport, because he lived in st. Petersburg where he could not live. And so, a girl, averbal on abramov, came to see him on a date. Her name was 24 years old, and she later wrote in her memoirs that when she came to Alexander Grinovs cell, the first thing this man did. He rushed over to her and kissed her on the lips. A it was the first kiss in my life modestly. She continues, and now he made a huge impression on her, and later, when the hryvnia was once again condemned and sent into exile in siberia, he still managed to escape from this exile. Here is perhaps the only case. And when he managed to escape, and he ran to this very faith , he said that he fled. Eh, for her sake and soon. They began to live together soon, they got married, it was. Uh, the first wife of Alexander Grin, she was completely different than katya bibergal, and she absolutely disliked the revolution. She loved a quiet life, but with a green , she did not succeed in any quiet life. But this whole plot, and later entered the wonderful story of Alexander Grin , which i advise everyone to read the story, which is called 100 miles along the river, where grin allegorically describes the history of his crimes and punishments , the history of his youth. And just like that, he lived like this, he worked in the prerevolutionary years. He published books that did not enjoy fantastic success. Of course not in the background gorky kuprin whether they yes andreev there Alexei Tolstoy andand green was not such a prominent figure, but he was a writer with his own voice. It was a writer with his own intonation, but also, as it were, with his own literary land, with his own literary island surrounded by seas on all sides, but it was an island. Uh, Alexander Grin, who was inhabited by characters like no one else , a foreigner of russian literature, as he was called a criticism of the silver age, and then the seventeenth year begins revolution, and and, and greens attitude to the revolution. In general, there was something negative in his prose. This is an aversion to politics and in general to any state activity. It feels very sharp. Look at the stories like a tragedy, a plateau dream, a completely wonderful story, like green, like, again, somewhere there. Its not clear somewhere in africa the action is taking place, but certainly a story that is most directly related to the russian revolutionary situation, and the beginning of the 20th century. And so when uh happens, the revolution is green does not perceive it, but another thing is that there are no warm feelings in relation to the monarchy in relation to the old government. He didnt either, and greenes position was that there was a plague on both your houses. Eh, and in general he did not like, but the social life of the party life. He loved the life of the individual. He loved the life of the individual and he loved the life of the people who believed in the dream. Actually in scarlet sails, of course, we can feel it very well. And then it turned out, as if even more difficult for his life, but he was very strong helped. And maxim gorky, who really felt weak. To such vagabonds, to such anarchists, gorky, who , in general, appreciated the talent of Alexander Grin and gorky. In fact, he did a great thing for russian literature for russian culture, because in these first postrevolutionary years in hungry petrograd, and bitter organized the socalled house of arts, in fact. It was such a large, writers hotel, where russian literary writers could get a column room for food and the opportunity there is a possibility of survival. Here in these difficult conditions. Actually it is these greens. I also used it there in this very house of arts. He just writes. Uh, the fairy tale scarlet sails feeriya as he defined the genre of this work and subsequently very uh, many soviet critics. They tried to interpret it as such an allusion to the revolution and present the color of the sails as a color, but revolutionary dreams. Ah, in fact , it seems to me that this has nothing to do with greens intention, and in fact. Here green of this period. This is such a sociopath writer who talks, but about the idea of escaping from reality. After all, if you think about the meaning of scarlet sails, then this is a story about how not to live in reality. Yes, because here the girl is in conflict with her surroundings and correctly and and conflict further and there is no need to build relationships with people. Here, believe in your dream further there, if you remember. In this story, such a storyteller appears, a drunkard egol, in which one can assume green encrypted himself and who says this girl. Remember, she carried a toy yacht there to sell, with alla sails she let it go on the lever and is it ego, it means she caught the yacht, and he tells her that many years will pass and a huge ship with fat sails will enter the bay, there will be a prince and the girl believes in this, and the dream lives. You are a dream and absolutely do not want to live in real life this fairy tale can actually be read, uh, and in this way and further, if it were not for captain gray yes, with his this, but with such moral rules, yes, with his plan that, uh the dream must be done with your own hands. Yes, as it were the meaning of life lies in the fact that some people believe in a dream, and other people build and do this dream, and then such a happy connection occurs, and those and others, but a few years after the death of alexander green Andrey Platonov in my opinion. The deepest, smartest , greatest russian writer of the 20th century. He wrote such a short critical article about the work of Alexander Grin and about this story, and he said surprisingly accurate words that, as it were, the main drawback from the point of view of platonic scarlet sails is the fact that the people remained on the shore, if we remember scarlet sails end with assol, together with the warm, sailing away, it is not known where they are sailing away from people, they are sailing away to some other world, and the people are in copern. Here is this evil cruel people, who did not love, and the salt, which the salt poisoned, here it remains on the shore, but for platonov this is impossible for the platonic, just the most important thing in life in literature. E everywhere, its people its people, and as if the writer should be popular, but for green actually. This is not the people the crowd is a crowd that does not want, but to love and understand people of a different type. Here is the makeup, so principled, and green is really a personal and individualist and in scarlet sails. It doesnt even feel like the island, probably , although it definitely feels, but even more. This is the greens of the world of sensations, this is the greens rejection of any social structure, because here is the image of such a representation there. In a circus or in a theater, flying people will first appear at alexander green and bulgakov will read it carefully. And so er, the shining world is indeed one of the pinnacles of russian prose of the twenties, but it brought success to the grin and but its curious that i m saying, on the one hand, green is the most unread russian writer of the 20th century, on the other hand, paradoxically, green is one of the most one can Say Published russian writers of the 20th century, because, in principle, everything that he wrote in the twenties is everything that he wrote. In the soviet the time was published and the soviet time makeup, was really a writer. Uh, extremely popular because that people who were tired were torn off by their fathers, who were tired of the turmoil from the civil war from violence, and from lies. These people wanted rest. And those fairy tales, those stories , those stories that he showed, that he invented, that green composed for them, they had something comforting. Maybe in a glittering world it doesnt feel so keen, although there is another very important thing in this novel, connected with creativity with a sense of the world. E alexander green there is really the main character, a flying man a man who can fly and thats why for greene it was very important to go back a little here. Petersburg in 1910. There, in 1910, the socalled aviation week was held at the kolomyazhsky hippodrome , people gathered. The whole of st. Petersburg came there, they sat on the trees, and in order to see how the planes would take off, that is, for our grandmothers , grandfathers, greatgrandmothers, greatgrandfathers, it was the greatest event, because this is a dream , the first airplanes appeared yes, this is the ageold dream of people, that people will be able to fly, they will be able to take off from the earth to rise into the sky, and now these first planes are still clumsy and so funny. Three strange ones took off and the audience was in absolute ecstasy and the pilots were, er, the heroes of those days. And, by the way, for many writers. It was an event. Kuprin described a flying man, or they described andreev there, and Vasily Kamensky described it. Its true, as it was a very important story. Everyone rejoiced, everyone rejoiced, except for one person, the only person who was at the kolomyazhsky hippodrome and who hated all these flying cars. It was our hero Alexander Grin why because from his point of view aviation is a circumvention of the great human dream that a person can and should fly himself. This is really very important. Green did not like at all, did not recognize such a course of development of human civilization. He was a principled opponent of the science of technology to achieve development, so by chance he had scarlet sails, he hated steamships with their engines with their pipes from which they escape, and clubs of black smoke, he would have been such a person, aspiring, and he hated the past. Thats it, he has an absolutely amazing story that called mermaids of the air and in this story, it means that here are some, like mermaids in the water. There are also mermaids in the air, these mermaids attack these pilots. It means that these planes are destroying them, but drowning them, as if in the air , yes, and greens sympathies, of course, are on the side of the mermaids, of course, in the novel there is a shining world. This is all also a rejection of science and technology. He is very felt and the main character is a man who can fly himself and this scene at the kolomyazhsky hippodrome is described there. And a described girl is the only girl in to this crowd that believes that the hero will now take off, take off, not because he has a plane with these engines that are crackling, making noise and puffs of smoke, but because he has some kind of device that will fly from a melodic ringing there are thousands of bells, no one believes everyone laughs at him, and he flies up, only one girl believed it is very similar to scarlet sails. And this girl receives an award, and the hero takes her with him, too, there, to some means beyond the heavenly, and the heavenly world. And one more example of such a rejection of science by green and technicians did not like cars very much; i have an absolutely wonderful story, which is called a gray car. By the way, notice that the gray car. This is, as it were, the antonym of the scarlet sails, so a wonderful film was made to tell the story. Eh, mister farmer is such an arthouse movie, he is really very thin, deep and smart. And this is Alexander Grin with this rejection of the course of human history, and of human civilization and a somewhat arrogant attitude, but to those people who think differently than he did in the midtwenties in greens life was. Quite, but harmoniously, he moved, then from, petrograd to the crimea, and therefore, in fact, the crimea became such a main place, and Alexander Stepanovichs stay of residence. Here he really never had his own home. He rented a house, but here is the museum of alexander green, which today is in feodosia, a Wonderful Museum here, which is in the old crimea where he came in the late twenties and such very important points of its existence. It was such a fairly fruitful and in its own way calm period, and his life, and then misfortunes began, then at the end of the twenties, when the overall atmosphere in the country became more uh , it became more and more obvious, the screaming discrepancy between Alexander Grin and this , as it were, such a soviet vector of development, green did not fit into this soviet life and probably especially acute. This is felt in his latest novel. In my opinion, his best novel, which i highly recommend to everyone. Read in a novel called the road to nowhere and this is a very bitter story of a man which he had a lot in his childhood in his youth. Given a lot of what he wanted to get from life, and in the end all his dreams are broken. Here, perhaps, green is, as it were, the one who has the spirit of pride, which undoubtedly was characteristic of him, and in previous years here, as it were, he is questioned. If we kind of fall apart and green starts to change very interestingly, like this person does not have a shan warehouse by the end of his life, it seems to be moving more and more towards humility. And in general, the end of a greenas life is the end of a life a christian who repents, who confesses, who goes to church and dies after taking communion, and forgive all your enemies. And i must say that the last years of greens life were terribly difficult, because they stopped printing him. I say, he is no longer the answer of the era and he was not published much, he received few royalties. In fact, he was in poverty, and he was in poverty. E at home in the crimea. Besides, he is hard. E, fell ill, and in 1932 he died in the old crimea and the priest who confessed him before his death later told that when he asked green if you have reconciled with your enemies, i am indifferent to them this is an amazing answer. This, of course, was typical. Eh, only our hero. This is what characterizes him to the highest degree by another very important and very offensive thing in the fate of Alexander Grin. And here is this man who described the journey so much, who described so many different worlds. Most different countries. In fact , i have seen almost nothing in my life. He really hasnt been to many places. Here, as it were, the geography of Alexander Grins life. It is quite buys up. And at the end of his life, and he really dreamed of getting the nobel prize, and he told his wife, and he already had a third wife, and Nina Nikolaevna green and who is actually dedicated, and the story of alla and sails. Here is such an amazing woman who later kept the memory of her husband. And then she later remembered that he told her ninochka. Here. Imagine we get the nobel prize. Well charter a yacht and take a trip around the world. And he really wanted to see the world, these countries that he invented, which he described, and now, and if think about how much the publishing houses profited. On the works of Alexander Grin, what circulations of his books came out crazy in the soviet era, and in the sixties he was almost the third in the number of circulations there, because then he was wildly popular. It is now a little bit of his popularity subsided. How many films are there . Now, if there
