Tales of grandfather Kornei

Kornei Ivanovich Chukovsky
(March 31, 1882 - October 28, 1969)

We feel sorry for Korney's grandfather:
In comparison with us, he lagged behind:
Since in childhood "Barmaleya"
And I haven't read Crocodile,
Didn't admire "Telephone"
And in "Cockroach" did not delve into.
How did he grow up to be such a scientist,
Not knowing the most important books?
V.D. Berestov

BIOGRAPHY PAGE

Kornei Ivanovich Chukovsky was born in St. Petersburg in 1882. Soon, his family moved to Odessa. In this city, he went to study in a gymnasium, but the boy was expelled from the fifth grade due to his "low origin". Those were difficult times.
Chukovsky tried a lot of professions and, finally, in 1901 he began to work in "Odessa News". Two years later, the newspaper dispatched a young correspondent to London. There he taught himself English and that's it free time spent in libraries. Returning to his homeland, Chukovsky began to publish a satirical magazine, was engaged in translations from English, collaborated in various reputable magazines.
Chukovsky was a serious literary critic and had no intention of becoming a children's poet. He composed his first works for children quite by accident. How did it happen? One day Chukovsky's little son fell ill. Korney Ivanovich drove him home on the evening train and, wishing to alleviate the child's suffering a little, began to compose and tell him a fairy tale about Crocodile Krokodilovich on the go. And the famous "Moidodyr" appeared because the writer's little daughter suddenly became stubborn and did not want to wash.
In the books of Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky, extraordinary miracles occur. Even toddlers who still cannot read are familiar with Mukha-Tsokotukha, the kind doctor Aibolit, the Crocodile who swallowed the sun, the slovenly Fedora, from whom all the dishes escaped, the daredevil Bibigon.
But Kornei Ivanovich wrote not only poetry and fairy tales. Chukovsky retold for children the ancient Greek legends about the hero Perseus, Pallas Athena, Medusa Gorgon, the beautiful Andromeda, presented translations of Kipling's fairy tales, Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Robinson Crusoe.

Were afraid of the mustache
All for the life of me!
But dealt with it
Daring sparrow!

Run away from the dirty
Cups, spoons and pans.
She is looking for them, calling,
And on the road, tears are pouring.

I walked across the field
And I bought a samovar
And then he married me
Brave little mosquito.

3. The phone rang,
An elephant called the apartment.
And behind him spoke
And a toothy crocodile

He lives in hot Africa
It will pull, then it will push.
Aibolita once
He saved from the robbers.

Who is like a jackdaw
Swallowed a loofah?

Who washes cleanly
Even a chimney sweep?

I bought a samovar
And the mosquito saved her.

And the hare and the she-wolf -
Everyone runs to him for treatment

1. In this book the name day,
There were many guests there.
And on these name days
Suddenly a villain appeared.
He wanted to kill the mistress
I almost killed her.
But to an insidious villain
Someone cut off his head.

4. Oh! Oh! Oh oh oh!
There is such a commotion here!
Everyone is running, rushing, jumping,
They shout at them; "Where where?"
Well, someone is crying bitterly
From vexation and shame.
But it all ends well.
Everything is returned to its place.
All forgive the guilty -
It's bad to live without a mistress.
And she promises them
Do not smudge or beat them.

Kornei Ivanovich Chukovsky(1882-1969) - Russian and Soviet poet, critic, literary critic, translator, publicist, known primarily for children's fairy tales in poetry and prose. One of the first researchers of the phenomenon in Russia mass culture... Readers are best known as a children's poet. Father of writers Nikolai Korneevich Chukovsky and Lydia Korneevna Chukovskaya.

Kornei Ivanovich Chukovsky(1882-1969). Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky (Nikolai Ivanovich Korneichukov) was born on March 31 (19 according to the old style), 1882 in St. Petersburg.

His mother's birth certificate included Ekaterina Osipovna Korneichukova; then there was a record - "illegitimate".

Father, a Petersburg student Emmanuel Levenson, in whose family Chukovsky's mother was a servant, three years after Kolya's birth left her, his son and daughter Marusya. They moved south to Odessa and lived very poorly.

Nikolai studied at the Odessa gymnasium. In the Odessa gymnasium, he met and became friends with Boris Zhitkov, in the future also a famous children's writer. Chukovsky often went to Zhitkov's house, where he used the rich library collected by Boris's parents. From the fifth grade of the gymnasium Chukovsky was excluded when, by special decree (known as the "cook's children decree") educational establishments freed from children of "low" origin.

The mother's earnings were so meager that they were barely enough to somehow make ends meet. But the young man did not give up, he studied independently and passed the exams, having received a certificate of maturity.

Be interested in poetry Chukovsky started with early years: wrote poems and even poems. And in 1901 his first article appeared in the newspaper "Odessa News". He wrote articles on a variety of topics - from philosophy to feuilletons. In addition, the future children's poet kept a diary, which was his friend throughout his life.

From my youth Chukovsky led a working life, read a lot, independently studied English and French languages... In 1903, Kornei Ivanovich went to St. Petersburg with the firm intention of becoming a writer. He went to the editorial offices of magazines and offered his works, but was refused everywhere. This did not stop Chukovsky. He met many writers, got used to life in St. Petersburg and found a job for himself - he became a correspondent for the newspaper "Odessa News", where he sent his materials from St. Petersburg. Finally, life rewarded him for his inexhaustible optimism and faith in his abilities. He was sent by Odessa News to London, where he improved his English.

In 1903 he married a twenty-three-year-old woman from Odessa, the daughter of a private company accountant, Maria Borisovna Goldfeld. The marriage was unique and happy. Of the four children born in their family (Nikolai, Lydia, Boris and Maria), only two elders lived a long life - Nikolai and Lydia, who later became writers themselves. The youngest daughter Masha died in childhood from tuberculosis. Son Boris died in the war in 1941; another son Nikolai also fought, took part in the defense of Leningrad. Lydia Chukovskaya (born 1907) lived a long and difficult life, was subjected to repression, survived the execution of her husband, the outstanding physicist Matvey Bronstein.

In England Chukovsky goes with his wife - Maria Borisovna. Here the future writer spent a year and a half, sending his articles and notes to Russia, and also visiting free reading room the library of the British Museum, where he avidly read English writers, historians, philosophers, publicists, those who helped him develop his own style, which was later called "paradoxical and witty." He meets

Arthur Conan Doyle, HG Wells, and other English writers.

In 1904 Chukovsky returned to Russia and became a literary critic, publishing his articles in St. Petersburg magazines and newspapers. At the end of 1905 he organized (with a subsidy from L. V. Sobinov) a weekly journal of political satire "Signal". He was even arrested for bold cartoons and anti-government poems. And in 1906 he became a permanent employee of the Vesy magazine. By this time he was already familiar with A. Blok, L. Andreev A. Kuprin and other figures of literature and art. Later Chukovsky revived the living features of many cultural figures in his memoirs (Repin. Gorky. Mayakovsky. Bryusov. Memories, 1940; From memoirs, 1959; Contemporaries, 1962). And nothing seemed to foreshadow that Chukovsky would become a children's writer. In 1908 he published essays on contemporary writers "From Chekhov to the Present Day", in 1914 - "Faces and Masks".

Gradually name Chukovsky becomes widely known. His sharp critical articles and essays were published in periodicals, and subsequently composed the books "From Chekhov to the Present Day" (1908), "Critical Stories" (1911), "Faces and Masks" (1914), "Futurists" (1922).

In 1906, Korney Ivanovich came to the Finnish town of Kuokkala, where he made a close acquaintance with the artist Repin and the writer Korolenko. Also, the writer kept in touch with N.N. Evreinov, L.N. Andreev, A.I. Kuprin, V.V. Mayakovsky. All of them later became characters in his memoir books and essays, and the home handwritten almanac of Chukokkala, in which dozens of celebrities left their creative autographs - from Repin to A.I. Solzhenitsyn, - over time turned into a priceless cultural monument. Here he lived for about 10 years. From the combination of the words Chukovsky and Kuokkala, "Chukokkala" (invented by Repin) was formed - the name of the handwritten humorous almanac that Korney Ivanovich kept until the last days of his life.

In 1907 Chukovsky published Walt Whitman's translations. The book became popular, which increased Chukovsky's fame in the literary environment. Chukovsky becomes an influential critic, smashes tabloid literature (articles about A. Verbitskaya, L. Charskaya, the book "Nat Pinkerton and Contemporary Literature", etc.) Chukovsky's sharp articles appeared in periodicals, and then compiled the books "From Chekhov to the Present Day" (1908 ), "Critical Stories" (1911), "Faces and Masks" (1914), "Futurists" (1922), etc. Chukovsky is the first researcher of "mass culture" in Russia. Chukovsky's creative interests were constantly expanding, his work over time acquired an increasingly universal, encyclopedic character.

The family lives in Kuokkala until 1917.They already have three children - Nikolai, Lydia (later both became famous writers, and Lydia - also a well-known human rights activist) and Boris (died at the front in the first months of the Great Patriotic War). In 1920, already in St. Petersburg, a daughter, Maria, was born (Mura - she was the "heroine" of many of Chukovsky's poems for children), who died in 1931 of tuberculosis.

In 1916, at the invitation of Gorky Chukovsky heads the children's department of the Parus publishing house. Then he himself begins to write poetry for children, and then prose. Poetic tales " Crocodile"(1916)," Moidodyr" and " Cockroach"(1923)," Fly Tsokotukha"(1924)," Barmaley"(1925)," Telephone"(1926)" Aibolit"(1929) - remain the favorite reading of several generations of children. However, in the 20s and 30s. they were harshly criticized for their "lack of ideology" and "formalism"; there was even the term "Chukovshchyna".

In 1916 Chukovsky became a war correspondent for the newspaper "Rech" in Great Britain, France, Belgium. Returning to Petrograd in 1917, Chukovsky received an offer from M. Gorky to become the head of the children's department of the publishing house "Parus". Then he began to pay attention to the speech and strokes of young children and write them down. He kept such records for the rest of his life. Of them was born famous book Two to Five, which first appeared in print in 1928 under the title Little Children. Children's language. Ekikiki. Stupid absurdities "and only in the 3rd edition the book received the title" From two to five ". The book was reprinted 21 times and was replenished with each new edition.

And after many years Chukovsky again acted as a linguist - wrote a book about the Russian language "Alive as life" (1962), where evil and witty attacked bureaucratic clichés, "bureaucrats".

In general, in the 10s - 20s. Chukovsky dealt with many topics that somehow found continuation in his further literary activity. It was then (on the advice of Korolenko) that he turned to the work of Nekrasov, published several books about him. Through his efforts, the first Soviet collection of Nekrasov's poems with scientific commentaries was published (1926). And the result of many years of research work was the book "The Mastery of Nekrasov" (1952), for which in 1962 the author received the Lenin Prize.

In 1916 Chukovsky became a war correspondent for the newspaper "Rech" in Great Britain, France, Belgium. Returning to Petrograd in 1917, Chukovsky received an offer from M. Gorky to become the head of the children's department of the Parus publishing house. Then he began to pay attention to the speech and strokes of young children and write them down. He kept such records for the rest of his life. From them was born the famous book "From Two to Five", which was first published in 1928 under the title "Little Children. Children's language. Ekikiki. Stupid absurdities "and only in the 3rd edition the book received the title" From two to five ". The book was reprinted 21 times and was replenished with each new edition.

Back in 1919, the first work was published Chukovsky on the skill of translation - "Principles of Literary Translation". This problem has always remained in the focus of his attention, as evidenced by the books "The Art of Translation" (1930, 1936), "High Art" (1941, 1968). He himself was one of the best translators- opened for the Russian reader Whitman (to whom he also devoted his research "My Whitman"), Kipling, Wilde. He translated Shakespeare, Chesterton, Mark Twain, Oh Henry, Arthur Conan Doyle, retold for children "Robinson Crusoe", "Baron Munchausen", many biblical stories and Greek myths.

Chukovsky also studied Russian literature of the 1860s, the works of Shevchenko, Chekhov, Blok. V last years life, he spoke with essay articles about Zoshchenko, Zhitkov, Akhmatova, Pasternak and many others.

In 1957 g. Chukovsky was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philology, at the same time, on the 75th anniversary, he was awarded the Order of Lenin. And in 1962 he received an honorary doctorate in literature from Oxford University.

The complexity of Chukovsky's life - on the one hand, a well-known and recognized Soviet writer, on the other - a man who did not forgive the authorities, does not accept much, is forced to hide his views, constantly worried about his daughter - "dissident" - all this was revealed to the reader only after the publication of the diaries writer, where dozens of pages were torn out, and not a word was said about some years (like 1938).

In 1958 g. Chukovsky was the only Soviet writer who congratulated Boris Pasternak on being awarded Nobel Prize; after this seditious visit to his neighbor in Peredelkino, he was forced to write a humiliating explanation.

In the 1960s, K. Chukovsky also started a retelling of the Bible for children. He attracted writers and literary men to this project, and carefully edited their work. The project itself was very difficult, due to the anti-religious position of the Soviet government. The book entitled "The Tower of Babel and Other Ancient Legends" was published by the publishing house "Children's Literature" in 1968. However, the entire print run was destroyed by the authorities. The first book edition available to the reader took place in 1990.

Korney Ivanovich was one of the first to discover Solzhenitsyn, the first in the world to write an admiring review of "One Day in Ivan Denisovich", gave the writer shelter when he was in disgrace, was proud of his friendship with him.

Long years Chukovsky lived in the writers' village Peredelkino near Moscow. Here he often met with children. Now in the house of Chukovsky there is a museum, the opening of which was also associated with great difficulties.

In the post-war years Chukovsky often met with children in Peredelkino, where he built Vacation home, spoke with essay articles about Zoshchenko, Zhitkov, Akhmatova, Pasternak and many others. There he gathered around him up to one and a half thousand children and arranged for them holidays "Hello, summer!" and "Goodbye Summer!"

Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky died on October 28, 1969 from viral hepatitis... At the dacha in Peredelkino (Moscow region), where he lived most of his life, now his museum operates there.

"Children's" poet Chukovsky

In 1916 Chukovsky compiled a collection for children "Yolka". In 1917 M. Gorky invited him to head the children's department of the Parus publishing house. Then he began to pay attention to the speech of young children and write them down. From these observations was born the book "From Two to Five" (first published in 1928), which is a linguistic study children's language and the characteristics of children's thinking.

The first children's poem " Crocodile"(1916) was born by accident. Korney Ivanovich and his little son were on the train. The boy was ill and, in order to distract him from suffering, Korney Ivanovich began to rhyme lines to the sound of wheels.

This poem was followed by other works for children: “ Cockroach"(1922)," Moidodyr"(1922)," Fly Tsokotukha"(1923)," Miracle tree"(1924)," Barmaley"(1925)," Telephone"(1926)," Fedorino grief"(1926)," Aibolit"(1929)," Stolen sun"(1945)," Bibigon"(1945)," Thanks to Aibolit"(1955)," Fly in the bath"(1969)

It was fairy tales for children that became the reason started in the 30s. bullying Chukovsky, the so-called fight against "Chukovschina", initiated by N.K. Krupskaya. In 1929 he was forced to publicly renounce his tales. Chukovsky was depressed by the event he had experienced and for a long time after that he could not write. By his own admission, since that time he has turned from an author into an editor.

For children of younger school age Chukovsky retold the ancient Greek myth of Perseus, translated English folk songs (“ Barabek», « Jenny», « Kotausi and Mousei" and etc.). In Chukovsky's retelling, the children got acquainted with the "Adventures of Baron Munchausen" by E. Raspe, "Robinson Crusoe" by D. Defoe, with the "Little Rag" by the little-known J. Greenwood; for children, Chukovsky translated Kipling's tales and the works of Mark Twain. Children in Chukovsky's life became a truly source of strength and inspiration. In his house in the village of Peredelkino near Moscow, where he finally moved in the 1950s, up to one and a half thousand children often gathered. Chukovsky arranged for them the holidays "Hello Summer" and "Goodbye Summer." Communicating a lot with children, Chukovsky came to the conclusion that they read too little and, having cut off a large piece of land from their suburban area in Peredelkino, built a library for children there. “I have built the library, I want to build it for the rest of my life Kindergarten"- said Chukovsky.

Prototypes

It is not known whether the heroes of fairy tales had prototypes Chukovsky... But there are quite plausible versions of the emergence of bright and charismatic characters in his children's fairy tales.

Into prototypes Aibolita two characters are suitable at once, one of whom was a living person, a doctor from Vilnius. His name was Tsemakh Shabad (in the Russian manner - Timofey Osipovich Shabad). Dr. Shabad, after graduating from the Faculty of Medicine of Moscow University in 1889, voluntarily went to the Moscow slums to treat the poor and homeless. He voluntarily went to the Volga region, where he risked his life and fought a cholera epidemic. Returning to Vilnius (at the beginning of the twentieth century - Vilna) he treated the poor for free, fed children from poor families, did not refuse help when they brought pets to him, healed even the wounded birds that were brought to him from the street. The writer met Shabad in 1912. He twice visited Dr. Shabad and personally called him the prototype of Dr. Aibolit in his article in Pionerskaya Pravda.

In his letters, Korney Ivanovich, in particular, said: “... Doctor Shabad was very much loved in the city, because he treated the poor, pigeons, cats ... A thin girl would come to him, he told her - you want me to write you a prescription ? No, milk will help you, come to me every morning and you will receive two glasses of milk. So I thought how wonderful it would be to write a story about such a kind doctor. "

In the memoirs of Korney Chukovsky, another story is preserved about a little girl from a poor family. Dr. Shabad diagnosed her with systematic malnutrition and brought the little patient a white roll and hot broth himself. The next day, as a token of gratitude, the recovered little girl brought her beloved cat to the doctor as a gift.

Today a monument to Dr. Shabad is erected in Vilnius.

There is another contender for the role of Aibolit prototype - this is Dr. Doolittle from the book by the English engineer Hugh Lofting. While at the front of the First World War, he came up with a fairy tale for children about Dr. Doolittle, who knew how to heal various animals, communicate with them and fight with his enemies - evil pirates. Doolittle's story dates back to 1920.

For a long time it was believed that in “ Cockroach»Depicts Stalin (Tarakan) and the Stalinist regime. The temptation to draw parallels was very strong: Stalin was short, red-haired, with a bushy mustache (Cockroach is a “liquid-legged goat, little bug,” red with a large mustache). Big strong animals obey him and are afraid of him. But "Cockroach" was written in 1922, Chukovsky might not have known about important role Stalin and, moreover, could not portray the regime that gained strength in the thirties.
