Biography of Turgenev Love

The love in Turgenev’s life is a fatal woman, who has become the love of Ivan Turgenev’s lifetime, Henry Heine compared with the landscape, "simultaneously monstrous and exotic." The Spanish-French singer Polina Viardot, a low and stooping woman, had large male facial features, a large mouth and outstrip. But when Polina sang, she was fabulously transformed.

At such a moment, Turgenev saw the singer and fell in love with a lifetime, for 40 remaining years. Before meeting with Viardot, the writer’s personal life was like an American hill. First love was unrequited and painfully wounded the summer young man. He fell in love with the summer neighbor Katenka, the daughter of Princess Shakhovskaya. What disappointment befell Ivan when he found out that his “pure and immaculate” Katya, captivated by children's spontaneity and girlish blush, was the mistress of her father, Sergey Nikolaevich, burned by Lovelas.

This broke the heart of Ivan, and even after many years he described the events in the story “First Love”, embodying the image of Katya Shakhovskaya in the heroine of Zinaida Zinaida. The author never hid the fact that all the heroes of the work have real prototypes, for which many condemned him. The story of the love of Katya and Sergey Nikolaevich, full of intensity and drama ended sadly: Turgenev - the eldest after parting with a young mistress, soon died - and there were rumors that it was a suicide committed against the backdrop of love misfortunes.

Catherine a year later married Leo Kharitonovich Vladimirov, gave birth to her son and died six days later. Turgenev was disappointed in the "noble" girls and turned the eyes to the girls simple. Beloshweika Dunei Ivan Sergeyevich became interested in when he was 23 years old. This was probably one of the fleeting the writer’s fleeting hobbies, but it had serious consequences - a year later Dunyasha gave birth to a girl.

The daughter was called Pelagia Polina, and although Turgenev did not recognize the child officially, he did not abandon the girl. At first she lived in the house of the writer's mother. Later she was brought up in the family of Polina Viardot, the lover of Ivan Turgenev, the writer took the girl with him on foreign trips. Dunyash itself was subsequently married. Ivan Sergeyevich officially recognized his paternity only in the year.

In the winter of the year, Turgenev met Tatyana Bakunina, a sister of the future revolutionary emigrant Mikhail Bakunin. The writer often visited his estate Wrokhino, where the whole winter was closely communicating with the Circle of the Bakunins brothers and sisters. Tatyana was three years older than the writer, was fond of German philosophy and perceived her relations with others through the prism of the idealistic concept of Fichte.

Despite the fact that Turgenev and Bakunin lived in the same house, for several months the girl wrote him letters in German. Soon the writer realized that he could not share Tatyana's sincere feelings and decided that their relationship is exclusively literary and epistlery. Inspired, he wrote several poems and a story, including the poem "Parasha". A great love story has become a turning point in the life of Ivan Sergeyevich.

At one of the opera concerts in St. Petersburg, he saw on stage the woman of his dreams - Polina Viardot. The singer’s wonderful voice fascinated not only Turgenev, but all the listeners who came to her performance. One of the St. Petersburg newspapers talked about the impression that the opera diva made at the concert: “I could no longer fit in a huge mass of people who eagerly catch every sound of her, every breath of this sorceress who said“ ugly ”?

It was some kind of intoxication, some infection of enthusiasm, which instantly covered everyone from top to bottom.

" The young Russian writer fell in love with the singer without memory. He did not hide his passion, and soon the whole of Petersburg was fucked about his feelings. Remembering that time, A. Panaeva wrote: “I think it was difficult to find another like Turgenev as Turgenev. He loudly everywhere and all notified of his love for Viardot, and in a circle of his friends he did not talk about anyone else, as a Viardot.

” Who was the woman who so easily conquered Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev, turning his life into a constant expectation of a meeting with her, complete adoration and worship? Michelle-Paulina Viardo Garcia was born in Paris in the year. Her father, Michelle Ferdinand Polin Garcia, was the famous Spanish tenor, and the older sister, Maria Malibra, was a famous opera singer. Polina herself promised to grow up with a magnificent pianist.

Her teacher of the piano game was Ferenz Liszt himself, in whom the girl fell in love with her ears. Once, Polina's mother asked her to sing several Rossini arias. After listening to her daughter carefully, she said: “Close the lid of the piano. You will be a singer! There she met and made friends with the French writer Georges Sand, who was amazed at the unusual voice, sincerity of the performance and the inner beauty of the young singer.

Later, it is Polina who will become the prototype of the main character of the most popular novel by George Sand Consuelo. The debut was very successful, despite the far from stage appearance of the diva. Alfred de Musset wrote about the singer’s first concert: “She sings how she breathes!Her full expressiveness changes with amazing speed, with extreme ease, not only in accordance with the scene, but also in accordance with the phrase she performs.

She has the main secret of creativity: before expressing the feeling, she feels it. She listens not to her voice, but to her heart. " It was the voice that forced others to deify Pauline. According to the French composer Saint-Sans, her voice “was neither velvet, nor crystal-prostrate, but rather bitter or sad, anxious and yearning, sometimes sad to tears. This voice was created by nature for tragic roles, epic poems, oratorio.

” In the year, Polina married Louis Viardot - director of the Italian theater in Paris, a famous critic and translator from the Spanish Don Quixote Cervantes. Their marriage was very happy, despite the summer difference in age. Especially for the singer, the musical works of Brahms, Saint-Sansa, and Schumann were written. She toured a lot, becoming the first singer to introduce Europe to the musical art of Russia.

Since the first meeting at the concert, Turgenev has been looking for an excuse to get acquainted with Polina Viardot. Upon learning of her son’s new hobby, her mother visited the concert where Viardot performed, and returning home, said: “But I must admit, the damned gypsy sings well! One of the writer's close acquaintances invited him to hunt in the company of the husband of Polina, Louis Viardot, and then Ivan Sergeyevich was introduced to the singer herself.

This happened on November 1. Since then, Turgenev has always celebrated this date for many decades as a sacred holiday. On this day, the writer was presented as "the young Great Russian landowner, a good shooter, a pleasant interlocutor and a bad poet." Ivan Turgenev did not make a proper impression on Viardot: “When he entered the room, he seemed to me a giant - terribly tall, surprisingly beautiful, with blue and smart eyes, but I can’t say that he struck me at once.

For a long time I did not pay attention to him, each of them had to tell Madame Viardo some funny story during the interval. The young writer easily overshadowed his rivals, besides, he undertook to give her the lessons of the Russian language. Thanks to these classes, the singer often sang Russian songs and romances on stage. Burning from passion, Turgenev wrote to his beloved: “I have not seen anything in the world to meet you in my path was the greatest happiness of my life, my devotion and favor have no boundaries and will die only with me.” Throughout his life, the writer remained faithful to this feeling, sacrificing a lot to him.

Ivan Sergeyevich loved with all his heart, he liked even just pronouncing her name. She allowed herself to love. Their meetings resumed when Polina Viardot again came on tour in St. Petersburg in winter - year. Varvara Petrovna, the writer’s mother, wrote from Moscow: “Ivan left here for five days with Italians, has to go abroad with them or for them.” After the end of the tour in St.

Petersburg and Moscow, the Italian opera began to prepare for leaving Russia. Turgenev left the service in the Department of the Ministry of the Interior, received a foreign passport of a retired college secretary going to Germany and Holland for treatment and went abroad. He traveled a lot, and once received an invitation to stay in the family of Viardot's spouses.

Since the end of the 10ths, Turgenev has been constantly living in France. These years, biographers will call the "happy three years." It is the sincerity and deep respect of the writer for a beloved woman, based on the principle: I can be happy only because she is happy in her marriage, made their relationships that grew into a novel-friendship. The Russian writer travels a lot, coordinating his route with the tour of Polina Viardot.

The Viardot family gradually became a particle of his life. In those years, Ivan Turgenev practically lived in the family of his lover: he either rented at home in the neighborhood, then he stayed with her for a long time. The writer's famous singer had even friendly relations, despite the significant difference in age. Louis Viardot and Turgenev hunted together, engaged in literary translations.

They were united by a love of literature, theater, humanism. Louis Viardot seemed to not notice the love of the Russian writer. He completely relied on the prudence of his wife, not outdoor her jealousy and suspicions. Polina Viardot, who was leaving a smart woman, managed to save her family. The fact that this decision was dictated by common sense and iron will, there is no doubt: “I could make a big mistake - because my mind has lost my mind, and the will with it.

Possessing it, I was stronger than all. ” She understood that on Turgenev - a creative person - it was impossible to rely in life, so she kept him at a distance. She had never even visited the exhausted writer when he, being in Paris, is dragged from gastric colic.In addition, friendship with Turgenev had quite tangible material benefits: contrary to the will of his mother, Ivan Sergeyevich spent large amounts of money on the Viardo family.
