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.
Понедельник октября- день Колумба, празднует историческое путешествие Кристофера Колумба в Америку в 1492. Колумб был итальянцем и этот праздник особенно важен для итальянцев-американцев.
31 октября - Хэллоуин. Дети в костюмах ходят из дома в дом говоря "шалость или сладости". Сладостями обычно являются конфеты и редко шалости. Символом Хэллоуина является фонарь-джека, который сделан из тыквы.
День благодарения- 4-ый вторник ноября. В этот день американцы вспоминают как индейцы пилигримам, уча их как обрабатывать земли и охотиться. В этот день они благодарят за еду, страну и семьи.
25 декабря- Рождество. Многие люди украшают их дома рождественскими елками и гирляяндами, дарят подарки друг другу. Дети вешают чулки для того, чтобы Санта Клаус заполнил их подарками.
Как вы можете видеть, США - это страна множества праздников!
