HOW FIRE WAS DISCOVERED
The very earliest men knew about fire. It flashed at them from volcanoes, in
lightning and in forest fires. At first fire was the thing that only frightened them. Then
they found that fire could be useful and, to a certain extent, kept under control.
Early man used fire for cooking and hardening his weapons. The precious fire
was guarded, watched and constantly fed. Moving from place to place people carried
fire with them. If it went out, they had to wait for a forest fire or for a lightning that
struck some tree. Sometimes they got it from another tribe they met.
So we can’t name a certain man who discovered fire and don’t know for sure
the way how it happened. Some people think that man learnt about fire when he saw
lightning setting fire to a dead tree. Others consider that man saw fire started by rubbing
together two branches of a tree and then tried to initiate this process himself. After
man had learnt how to get fire he came to know its benefits and started using it
widely.
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.
