Über dieses E-Book

Воспоминания о Станкевиче были написаны Тургеневым, вероятно, по просьбе П. В. Анненкова как подсобный материал для его статьи «Н. В. Станкевич. Биографический очерк». Анненков, не знавший лично Станкевича, при составлении его биографии пользовался его перепиской и рассказами его друзей. Но ему не хватало, по-видимому, живых бытовых деталей, характеризующих Станкевича и его окружение, впечатлений от его внешности, манеры держаться, говорить и т. д. Всё это мог дать ему Тургенев, близко общавшийся со Станкевичем в последние месяцы его жизни; потому-то написанные им воспоминания носят такой личный, интимный характер.

Autoren-Profil

Ivan Turgenev, 1818 - 1883 Novelist, poet and playwright, Ivan Turgenev, was born to a wealthy family in Oryol in the Ukraine region of Russia. He attended St. Petersburg University (1834-37) and Berlin University (1838-41), completing his master's exam at St. Petersburg. His career at the Russian Civil Service began in 1841. He worded for the Ministry of Interior from 1843-1845. In the 1840's, Turgenev began writing poetry, criticism, and short stories under Nikolay Gogol's influence. "A Sportsman's Sketches" (1852) were short pieces written from the point of view of a nobleman who learns to appreciate the wisdom of the peasants who live on his family's estate. This brought him a month of detention and eighteen months of house arrest. From 1853-62, he wrote stories and novellas, which include the titles "Rudin" (1856), "Dvorianskoe Gnedo" (1859), "Nakanune" (1860) and "Ottsy I Deti" (1862). Turgenev left Russia, in 1856, because of the hostile reaction to his work titled "Fathers and Sons" (1862). Turgenev finally settled in Paris. He became a corresponding member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in 1860 and Doctor of Civil Law at Oxford University in 1879. His last published work, "Poems in Prose," was a collection of meditations and anecdotes. On September 3, 1883, Turgenev died in Bougival, near Paris.
