Biography
Famous Russian writer Alexander Green presented many different works in the reading room. However, most of the booklers associate the name of this talented person, the life of which is filled with interesting facts, with the fault-festivity "Scarlet Sails", which tells about the history of the girl by the name of Assol. The main heroine of the book met his beloved Arthur Grahaya, and the plot of this work about the unshakable faith and sincere dream became the attack for cinematographic works of famous directors.Childhood and youth
Alexander Grinevsky (the real name of the writer) was born 11 (23) August 1880. The childhood of young Sasha was held in the city of Slobodsky, which is now located in the Kirov region. Green grew and brought up in a nonworking family, which did not belong to the literary world.
His father Stefan Grinevsky, Pole by nationality, belonged to the military unit of shutters. When Stephana (in Russia, Stepan Evseevich called him) was 20 years old, he became a member of the January uprising, which happened in 1863.
For the armed debaches on the former lands of the Commonwealth, which moved to the Russian Empire, Grinevsky was indefinitely exiled to the Kolyvan of Tomsk province. In 1868, the young man was allowed to settle in Vyatka province.
In 1873, Grinevsky made a proposal of his hand and hearts Anna Ladkaya, who worked as a nurse. Firstborn Alexander was born from spouses only after seven years of living together. Later, the Grinevian appeared three more children: a boy and two girls. Parents raised Green inconsistently. Sometimes the future writer was poured, and in other moments there were strictly punished or threw unattended at all.
It is noteworthy that Alexander's love appeared at an early age. When the child was 6 years old, he learned to read: Instead of playing with peers in the fresh air, the boy shouted adventure books. The first read of the work of Sasha became the tetralogy of Jonathan Swift "Journey Gulliera", which tells how some Lemuel was in the world of Liliput.
In addition, Young Green adored stories about fearless navigators who travel through the water space of the Earth. Therefore, it is not surprising that a small imatanist sought to repeat the life of literary heroes: Dreamed to go to the sea, Sasha made attempts to escape from the house.
In 1889, a nine-year-old boy was given to the preparatory class of the real school. By the way, one classmates gave Sasha nickname "Green". It is noteworthy that the author of works was not an obedient child: Grinevsky, on the contrary, delivered trouble to teachers who noted that his behavior was "worse than all the others." However, Green managed to end the preparatory class and go to the step above.
However, being a second-grader, the son of Polish Shkhatich was excluded from school. The fact is that Sasha, who remembered by a restless character, decided to show his talent and wrote a poem about teachers.
True, this work was not one in Lomonosov style: it contained ironic subtext and was considered very offensive. But in 1892, Grinevsky managed to return to study: Thanks to the Father, the young man took the Vyatka school, which had a bad reputation.
When a young man turned 15 years old, a terrible event happened in his life: Alexander Green lost his mother who died from tuberculosis.
After a few months, Stepan Grinevsky married Lydia Boretskoy, however, the relationship with the stepmother Sasha was not rooted, because of what the guy settled separately from the Father's family. The master of the word lived alone, and from the atmosphere of provincial Vyatka, in which "Lies, Head and False" reigned, adventure books rescued.
The future prose spent six years in wrapping. During this time, he managed to work as a twist of books, a loader, a fisherman, a railwayman, an excavator, and even an artist of a stray circus. In 1896, he graduated from the Vyatka school and went to Odessa in order to become a sailor, receiving 25 rubles from the Father. In the New Town Green for some time thumbnails, he had no money for food.
When Alexander found himself on a ship - his expectations did not coincide with reality: instead of the delight, the young man experienced a disgust for prosaic sailor labor and doried with the captain of the vessel.
In 1902, due to the extreme needs in the money, Alexander Stepanovich entered the soldiers' service. The severity of soldier life forced Grinevian to desert: after rapprochement with Revolutionaries, Green took up underground activities. In 1903, a young man was arrested and sent for 10 years to Siberia. He also spent two years in the Arkhangelsk link and one time lived under a stranger passport in St. Petersburg.

However, the writer himself was accused of borrowing stories from Edgar by, Jack London, Hoffman, Stevenson and other creative personalities. But when analyzing the texts, it turned out that this similarity was very superficially and not justified.
Also, the name of Alexander Green is compared with the country of Greenland. The author himself did not use the name of this fictional location in his works, his Soviet critic Cornelius Zelensky was invented, which thus described the place of action of the main characters in Green's novels.
The researchers believe that the peninsula, where the country of the writer is located on the southern marine border of China. Such conclusions were made on mentions in the works of real seats: New Zealand, Pacific, etc.
In 1916-1922, Girny was written a story "Scarlet Sails", which glorified him. It is noteworthy that this work Master Feather devoted to the second wife Nina. The idea of the work was born in the head of the writer spontaneously: Alexander Stepanovich saw a boat with white sails in a showcase with toys.
"This toy said something to me, but I did not know what, then I figured whether the red sail would say more, and better than the scarlet color, because in Alom there is bright babysitting. Licacy means knowledge, why you enjoy. And so, deploying from this, taking the waves and ship with Alay sails, I saw the goal of his being, "the writer described his memories in drafts to the" Running Waves ".In 1928, Alexander Stepanovich produces his significant work, which gives the name "Running on the Waves".

Their marriage, which began in 1908, ended in a divorce on the initiative of Abramova: a woman, according to her, was tired of the unpredictability and uncontrollability of her husband. Did not add mutual understanding and frequent honeycomb Green. Alexander Stepanovich himself repeatedly made attempts to reunite. He dedicated to faith several books, he wrote on one of them: "My only friend." Also, until the end of the life, Green did not part with the portrait of Vera Pavlovna.
