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.

The house of my dreams to be in the heart of my beloved city! The house is two level.On first floor is the swimingroom, hall and kitchen.Onsecond three bedrooms and a balcony with a wonderful view of the house is on lake.Need Lovely garden in which grow not only apple trees and fenced house strawberry.Around on house is fence.Need fence in front of a statue that looks like the Statue of Liberty in New yorke.Zabor not high that I love people and I have nothing skryvat.neighbors my frequent guests. 

Дом моей мечты будет в самом центре моего любимого города!В доме два этажа.На первом этаже есть бассеин, холл, кухня.На втором три спальни и балкон с чудесным видом в на озеро.Возле дома есть чуденый сад, в котором растут не только яблони но и клубника.Мой дом огорожен забором.Возле забора пямо перед входом стоит статуя, которая похожа на статую свободы в нью-йорке.Забор не высокий потаму что я люблю людей и мне нечего скрывать.Соседи мои частые гости.
