What did Pushkin like?

Pushkin! Perhaps there is not a single person speaking and thinking in Russian, who would not know this name. We love his subtle and charming poems. But what did the poet like? In spite of his poetic gift, he remained a man of passions, attachments, desires and opinions. What did Pushkin like?

Autumn

For many people, autumn is associated with wilting,decay and death. Few will admit that they like gloomy days, rains, puddles and dirt under their feet. However, Pushkin's favorite season is autumn. He himself often said this in letters to friends and, of course, in his poetry. The famous "Golden Autumn" is known to all, but not everyone knows that Pushkin was not frightened by the drizzle and slush, and cold and fading nature. On the contrary, he felt, understood and lived this time, as the most beautiful thing of the year. He saw in death and death a kind of pleasure, a hope for a revival. Yes, Pushkin liked autumn, bright, colorful, sunny, enchanting and gray, foggy, rainy and dreary.

Women

It is known that Alexander Sergeyevich adored beauty. He became a special connoisseur in the field of female beauty. Since the Lyceum years in his heart began to boil serious love passions. At the age of fifteen, he fell in love for the first time. His chosen one was Natalia Kochubei, a fourteen-year-old secular beauty. Very soon this passion faded away, but a new, Bakunin, Catherine's sister, a new one, broke out. It was a new admiration, a new delight, a new creative impulse. Each period in the life of the poet was associated with the love of a woman. Among them were the future wife of the Decembrist Volkonsky Maria Raevskaya, and the gypsy Zemfira, who carried Pushkin so much that he left for a few days to live in the camp. Young Anna Kern, who at age 17 became the wife of a 52-year-old general, caused another storm of emotions in the young poet. "I remember a wonderful moment ..." about her. There were other secular ladies and unconditional beauties.

All the favorite women of Pushkin left distincta trace in his poems. However, the most expensive, beloved and intimate poet was only two women - a nanny and wife. Arina Rodionovna always personified his home and comfort for him, and Natalia Goncharova became for him the last passion, the shelter of the soul and the "Madonna", as he himself called it!

Tatyana Larina - favorite heroine of Pushkin

The poet himself has repeatedly confessed his love for thisheroine. He so prescribed it, that there is a very real feeling that this girl actually existed. Determined and sincere, wild and silent, frank and simple. Of all the images that Alexander Sergeyevich created, Tatiana stands out for her soulfulness, amazing dreaminess and inner freedom.

Drinks and food

Pushkin loved to eat deliciously. And what Russian person does not like this? In food he was not picky. I preferred simple food. Baked potatoes, soaked apples and cranberries in sugar. Favorite cake Pushkin - the so-called pie Wolfe. This is the neighbors of the poet, from whom he stayed and enjoyed a delicious puff pastry with cottage cheese, sour cream and apples. Alexander Sergeyevich did not disdain and a good binge. He loved his wife - a strong drink from a mixture of rum, champagne, white wine and pineapple.

Pushkin was "an unusual ordinary"man! He adored riding, movement and peace, noisy crowd and seclusion, secular society and silence, war and poetry, friends and enemies. But most importantly, Pushkin loved life! And he lived, trying to describe all the beauty that he saw, valued and felt like no other!
