About the curious facts from the creative biography and personal life of the author - in the material of 24CMI. The first pancake - the lump of Russian literature could well be missed by one talented writer, whose novels and stories for more than one decade are mandatory in the school curriculum. Indeed, at one time, Alexander Kuprin was seriously eager to engage in literary craft.
The latter and not surprising, given that for his first experience in this area of creativity, the future author of the White Poodle, Olesya, “Wonderful Doctor” and a number of other wonderful books, who studied at that time at a military school, received the punishment of two days of the crank. The craving for cognition when writing novels, stories and stories, Alexander Kuprin relied not only and not so much on fantasy as on his own extensive experience accumulated over the years of life.
Before contacting writerical labor, the author managed to change more than two dozen professions, having visited both the military, and boxer, and circus. I tried myself as a school teacher, an advertising agent and an artist. He stewed fires, caught the fish and conquered the fifth earth's ocean along with other aeronauts. The Alexander Ivanovich managed to visit the Morg employee, a secret agent of the police, and at the same time a thief and a conocrane.
Moreover, he comprehended the new Kuprin not at all out of the desire to enrich, but only trying to discover other, previously inaccessible horizons of life. So, according to the writer, he would not mind turning a horse, fish or other animals for several days in order to feel on himself what it was like to be a representative of another kingdom. The author also spoke in the way that he would like to turn into a woman in order to find out what childbirth is.
Snakhach Kuprin was distinguished by a remarkable habit of sniffing around in a living way when meeting. The presence of a striking sense of smell that could distinguish between the smallest shades of aromas, which caused envy among perfumers, pushed to such people who embarrassed some people. Fedor Chaliapin even called his friend the most sensitive nose of Russia, representing him in the company of acquaintances.
Kuprin's family wars did not differ in excessive “fertility” in terms of writing his works - on the contrary, he created slowly, reluctantly and lazily. The latter repeatedly caused scandals with his first wife Maria, who dreamed of seeing his wife, if not among the great authors, then among the fashionable - for sure. It even got to the point that the writer’s wife practically drove out of the house, forcing him to settle separately, and on the threshold she allowed only after the “delivery-acceptance” of the next portion of literary work.
The enemy of the regime during the Sevastopol uprising, Alexander Kuprin, helped to escape the top ten rebellious sailors. First, the writer hid the rebels at home, and then, pretending to be pretty drunk, burst into the police station, which forced law enforcement officers to be distracted. Thus, the author gave the sailors time to hide from the city, while the police forces were thrown to calm down the dispersed writer.
Unrestraint-screaming despite the modest growth, Kuprin was distinguished by significant physical strength, which he repeatedly proved in brawls. Moreover, a hop of one glass and extremely negatively and sharply reacting to the stimuli in the face of male representatives, with women, Kuprin extinguished and modest. Until his death, the writer was extremely proud of his ancestors, among whom were not only the heirs of noble blood, but also the offspring of the Tatar princes on the maternal line.
Therefore, Alexander Kuprin did not endure when someone unknowingly distorted his last name, stressing the first syllable. In such cases, he was ready to cling to the interlocutor, demanding to remember the correct pronunciation, which he repeatedly done - to the horror of making a mistake.
