Gumilev Nikolay

Nikolai Gumilev, whose poems were withdrawn from literary circulation in the second half of the 1920s, was an image of a literary theorist who sincerely believed that an artistic word could not only influence people's minds, but also transform the surrounding reality.

The creativity of the legend of the Silver Age directly depended on his worldview, in which the dominant role was occupied by the idea of the triumph of the spirit over the flesh. Throughout his life, the novelist deliberately drove himself into difficult, difficult situations for one simple reason: only at the moment of the collapse of hopes and losses did the poet come to genuine inspiration.

On April 3, 1886, the ship's doctor Stepan Yakovlevich Gumilev and his wife Anna Ivanovna had a son, who was named Nikolai. The family lived in the port city of Kronstadt, and after the resignation of the head of the family (1895) they moved to St. Petersburg. As a child, the writer was an extremely painful child: everyday headaches drove Nikolai to frenzy, and hypersensitivity to sounds, smells and tastes made his life almost unbearable.

During the exacerbation, the boy was completely disoriented in space and often lost his hearing. His literary genius manifested itself at the age of six. Then he wrote his first quatrain, "Niagara Lived." Nikolai entered the Tsarskoye Selo Gymnasium in the autumn of 1894, but studied there for only a couple of months. Because of his sickly appearance, Gumilev was repeatedly ridiculed by his peers. In order not to injure the already unstable psyche of the child, the parents moved their son to home schooling out of harm's way.
