Biography, life story of Paustovsky Konstantin Georgievich

Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky was born on May 19 (31), 1892 in Moscow. His father at that time served in an office as a specialist in railway statistics, and he had to travel a lot around the country. He generally had a passion for travel. My father traveled all over Russia and all European countries. Kostya's distant ancestors were Zaporozhye Cossacks. The writer's maternal grandmother was Turkish.

early years

Konstantin's parents divorced, so the teenager had to earn a living himself. As a high school student, Paustovsky tried to write and published his first story. He decided to gain more life experience in order to know everything and experience everything himself. After graduating from high school, Konstantin entered the philosophy department of the local university in Kyiv. After some time, he transferred to the same faculty, but to a university in Moscow. When the war began - World War I, Paustovsky was not taken into the army, since according to the law then younger sons were not taken. Therefore, Konstantin went to work - first as a tram leader, then he began to work as an orderly, albeit in the rear. Later, the young man began to travel around the country, wandering around cities and changing jobs. In a short time, he visited Bryansk, where he worked as a factory worker, then worked in Taganrog, and often fished in the summer on the Sea of ​​Azov with a team of local fishermen.

Post-revolutionary years

Immediately after the February Revolution, Konstantin Paustovsky again found himself in Moscow and witnessed absolutely all Moscow revolutionary events. He worked as a simple reporter in the capital's newspapers, and in his free time he wrote his first story. While working for newspapers, Konstantin traveled extensively throughout Russia and the provinces of the former Russian Empire. He moved to Kyiv and fought in the ranks of the Red Army, fearlessly fighting the local atamans. Then the future writer left for Odessa, where he again went to work for a newspaper. In the friendly and fairly numerous environment of Odessa writers, he met Valentin Petrovich Kataev, Eduard Georgievich Bagritsky, Isaac Emmanuilovich Babel and other celebrities. He did not stay in Odessa, he left to wander again and gain new life experience. Before returning to the capital of Russia, he visited large cities in the south, working in Yerevan, Tbilisi and Sukhumi.

In the 30s, Konstantin Paustovsky published his first story, which was called “Romantics,” in one of the Moscow publishing houses. In the capital, working as an editor at ROSTA, he published a collection of his own stories, then a story called “Kara-Bugaz”. While traveling around the country, he learned new things and wrote about everything he saw. Having published several books, Paustovsky decided to devote his future life to literary creativity and left the job of a reporter. Konstantin Georgievich did not stop traveling around the country; he made for himself the discovery of the original protected Russia, especially Meshchera.

He wrote many stories about the Meshchera region. At the end of the 30s, the writer began to publish a post-Meshchera cycle of short lyrical stories. In them, the writer showed ordinary people with a detachment from everyday life and professional work, introducing some sentimental shade into everyday stories. These were stories about the beauty and inexpressible charm present in every moment of human life.

Creativity ideas

Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky outlined his beliefs about the tasks of writing in a philosophical treatise called “The Golden Rose.” Paustovsky gave lectures to students at the Literary Institute on the skill of word creation. At the same time, the writer constantly returned to his hard-won ideas in his own works. These were ideas about the freedom of creativity, about the impossibility of being tied to canons and laws for writers.

Years of the Patriotic War

During the war, Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky worked as a war correspondent in several army newspapers, he wrote a lot of notes and short essays. At this time he was working on a large novel, “Smoke of the Fatherland.” At the center of the novel is besieged Leningrad. The novel was lost, but was later found and published twenty years later.

"The Tale of Life"

Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky went abroad for the first time after the war, starting to travel as a tourist. In his youth, the writer had already repeatedly visited all these foreign countries in his imagination. Paustovsky saw a lot, wrote about everything he saw and was imbued with the idea of ​​​​the kinship of all countries on planet Earth. He devoted his main attention to hard work on a series of books, united under the general title “The Tale of Life.” In five books in this series, he reflected current Soviet reality; the work was completed in 1963. The beginning of the story is the years of the civil war. This large and complex autobiographical epic reflected all the lyricism characteristic of the writer’s work, while he remained true to his constant style of presentation and his ideas. Strict, fundamental historicity was colored in the autobiographical series of books with lyrical and rather picturesque details. However, it was precisely in the historical depiction that many inaccuracies were made. These were descriptions of places where the writer did not witness the events that took place, but which he wanted to portray as important milestones in history. It was in these places that he turned out to be weaker as a writer, retreating from his usual autobiography. However, this memoir prose by Konstantin Georgievich was the most significant, showing the past era in the widest possible scope. The last years of Paustovsky’s life, which he spent in Tarusa, were spent working on these stories.

Personal life

Konstantin Georgievich was married three times. His first wife was Ekaterina Stepanovna Zagorskaya, the daughter of a priest and a teacher. Konstantin and Catherine met at the front. A wonderful love story: he is a young and brave fighter for world peace, a brave orderly, she is a caring and sweet nurse... The lovers got married in the summer of 1916. In 1925, their son Vadim was born.

In 1936, the couple divorced. The reason for this was Paustovsky’s new love - the incomparable Valeria Vladimirovna Valishevskaya-Navashina, the sister of the famous Polish artist, who a little later became the writer’s second wife.

However, Valeria was unable to win Paustovsky’s heart once and for all. At the end of the 1940s, Konstantin Georgievich fell in love for the third time. His chosen one was Tatyana Alekseevna Evteeva-Arbuzova, a theater actress. Tatyana Alekseevna gave Paustovsky a son, Alexei (born 1950). Unfortunately, the young man died at the age of 26 from a drug overdose. And two years later, Tatyana herself passed away...

Writer and classic of Soviet and Russian literature K. G. Paustovsky was born on May 19, 1892. And before getting acquainted with his biography, it should be noted that he was a member of the Union of Writers of the USSR, and his books were translated into different languages ​​of the world. Since the middle of the 20th century, his works began to be studied in Russian literature in secondary schools. Konstantin Paustovsky (photos of the writer are presented below) received many awards - prizes, orders and medals.

Reviews about the writer

Secretary Valery Druzhbinsky, who worked for the writer Paustovsky in 1965-1968, wrote about him in his memoirs. What surprised him most was that this famous writer managed to go through a period of time constantly praising Stalin without writing a word about the leader. Paustovsky also managed not to join the party and not to sign a single letter or denunciation stigmatizing any of those with whom he communicated. And even on the contrary, when the writers A.D. Sinyavsky and Yu.M. Daniel were tried, Paustovsky openly supported them and spoke positively about their work. Moreover, in 1967, Konstantin Paustovsky supported Solzhenitsyn’s letter, which was addressed to the IV Congress where he demanded the abolition of censorship in literature. And only then, the terminally ill Paustovsky sent a letter to the Chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers A.N. Kosygin in defense of Taganka director Yu.P. Lyubimov with a plea not to fire him, and this order was not signed.

Konstantin Paustovsky: biography

To understand the whole life story of this amazing writer, you can read his autobiographical trilogy “The Tale of Life”. Konstantin Paustovsky was the son of railway extras Georgy Maksimovich and Maria Grigorievna Paustovsky, who lived in Moscow in Granatny Lane.

His paternal lineage goes back to the family of the Cossack hetman P.K. Sagaidachny. After all, his grandfather was also a Chumak Cossack, and it was he who introduced his grandson Kostya to Ukrainian folklore, Cossack stories and songs. My grandfather served under Nicholas I and was captured in the Russian-Turkish war, from where he brought his wife, Turkish Fatma, who was baptized in Russia with the name Honorata. Thus, the writer’s Ukrainian-Cossack blood was mixed with Turkish blood from his grandmother.

Returning to the biography of the famous writer, it should be noted that he had two older brothers - Boris, Vadim - and a sister Galina.

Love for Ukraine

Born in Moscow, Paustovsky lived in Ukraine for more than 20 years, where he became a writer and journalist, which he often mentioned in his autobiographical prose. He thanked fate for having grown up in Ukraine, which was like a lyre to him, the image of which he carried in his heart for many years.

In 1898, his family moved from Moscow to Kyiv, where Konstantin Paustovsky began studying at the First Classical Gymnasium. In 1912, he entered Kiev University at the Faculty of History and Philology, where he studied for only two years.

First World War

With the outbreak of the war, Paustovsky moved back to Moscow to live with his mother and relatives, then moved to Moscow University. But soon he interrupted his studies and got a job as a tram conductor, then he served as an orderly on hospital trains. After the death of his brothers in the war, Paustovsky returned to his mother and sister. But again, after some time, he left and worked, either at the metallurgical plants of Yekaterinoslavl and Yuzovsk, then at a boiler plant in Taganrog or in a fishing cooperative in Azov.

Revolution, civil war

After this, the country plunged into civil war, and Paustovsky was forced to return to Ukraine again to Kyiv, where his mother and sister had already moved from the capital. In December he was drafted into the Hetman's army, but after the change of power - to serve in the Red Army in a security regiment created from former Makhnovists. This regiment was soon disbanded.

The path to creativity

The life of Konstantin Paustovsky changed, and after that he traveled a lot in the south of Russia, then lived in Odessa, worked at the publishing house “Moryak”. During this period, he met I. Babel, I. Ilf, L. Slavin. But after Odessa he went to the Caucasus and lived in Batumi, Sukhumi, Yerevan, Tbilisi, and Baku.

In 1923, Konstantin Paustovsky returned to Moscow and worked for several years in the editorial office of ROSTA. They are starting to print it. In the 30s, he again traveled and worked as a journalist for the publishing houses “30 Days”, “Our Achievements”, and the newspaper “Pravda”. His essays “Talk about Fish” and “Blue Fire Zone” were published in the magazine “30 Days”.

At the beginning of 1931, on instructions from ROSTA, he traveled to the Perm region, to Berezniki, to build a chemical plant. His essays on this topic were included in the book “The Giant on the Kama”. At the same time, he completed the story “Kara-Bugaz”, which he began in Moscow, which became key for him. He soon left the service and became a professional writer.

In them, he was able to professionally convey to readers his entire life experience - everything that he saw, heard and experienced.

The Great Patriotic War

During the war with the Nazis, Paustovsky served on the Southern Front. Then he returned to Moscow and worked in the TASS office. But he was released to work on a play at the Moscow Art Theater. And at the same time, he and his family were evacuated to Alma-Ata. There he worked on the play “Until the Heart Stops” and the epic novel “Smoke of the Fatherland.” The production was prepared by the Moscow Chamber Theater of A. Ya. Tairov, which was evacuated to Barnaul.

For almost a year, from 1942 to 1943, he spent time either in Barnaul or in Belokurikha. The premiere of the play, dedicated to the fight against the German conquerors, took place in Barnaul in the spring of April 4, 1943.

Confession

In the 1950s, the writer gained worldwide recognition. He immediately had the opportunity to visit Europe. In 1956, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize, but Sholokhov received it.

When the civil war ended, Paustovsky settled in Kyiv, but did not stay there for long. Traveled a lot around Russia. During my trips, I tried to transfer my impressions onto paper. Only in the 1920s did works begin to be published in the biography of Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky.

The first collection of stories, “Oncoming Ships,” was published in 1928.

The writer's popularity was brought to him by the story "Kara-Bugaz", published in 1932 by the publishing house "Young Guard". It was well received by critics, and they immediately singled out Paustovsky among other Soviet writers.
