My Favourite Writer (M. Lermontov)
One of Russia's most celebrated poets of all times, Michael Lermontov was born in Moscow in the family of a nobleman. He spent his childhood and youth in Tarckany, in the province of Penza.
In 1830 Lermontov entered the Moscow University, but very soon he had to leave it. Then he entered St. Petersburg School of Cavalry Cadets. He finished it and served in the Hussar Regiment of the Imperial Guard.
In 1837 the poet was exiled to the Caucasus for his poem "Poets Death". In 1840 Lermontov was exiled to the Caucasus for the second time. He was provoked into personal quarrel with his schoolmate. The quarrel led to a duel. On July 15th, 1841 the poet was killed. He was not even 27 at that time.
Lermontov began writing when he was very young. One of his first writings to be published was his verse tale "Hadji Arbek".
But he won fame as a poet after his poem "Poets Death" was published. Lermontov's poems "Demon" "Mtsyri" his great novel "A Hero of Our Time" and his play "Masquerade" are masterpieces of Russian literature.
Whether he wrote poetry, drama or prose, the stamp of his genius was to be found on his works. Lermontov's influence as of a poet and a thinker on all Russian writes can't be overestimated.
Today we are preparing for Thanksgiving - it is always the fourth Thursday in November. Thanksgiving is a kind of harvest festival. This is a very old tradition in the USA. Families always spend the day together, so tonight my older sister is returning from college. Now dad is decorating the house and mom is making pumpkin pie. Tomorrow we'll have a big traditional Thanksgiving dinner with roast turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce. And tomorrow afternoon we visit our cousins to give them presents. here in the USA. Did you know that people eat 46 million turkeys every Thanksgiving?
