Quote of the day by Alexander Pushkin: Alexander Pushkin is considered one of the best literary personalities in Russia. However, the biography of the writer is much more interesting than the definition of Alexander as a poet. He was not only able to write poems, novels, stories and plays but also his writing touched upon such themes as love, freedom, ambition, friendship and human feelings. Alexander was born in 1799 in Moscow into the noble family. Since childhood, he demonstrated a vivid interest in literature, which eventually led him to the formation of his own style that greatly influenced Russian literary writing. Alexander attended the Imperial Lyceum in Tsarskoye Selo, where he started serious writing.
What distinguished Pushkin from the rest was the fact that he could make literature very real and understandable for all people. He blended the literary language with the colloquial language, as well as humor and remarks on human nature. He could be romantic and humorous at one point, and then very serious and introspective at another. The life of Pushkin was also rather dramatic. He knew what love, friendship, politics, and even exile were like. Some of his works were of interest to the government authorities due to his views on liberty and revolution.
