Olga
Fallen Agatha Christie and Spiritualist Conan Doyle
Have you ever wondered that the two greatest deductive minds of England lived and worked at one time? Moreover, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was an active participant in the search operation during the disappearance of Agatha Christie. In 1926, the writer's husband asked her divorce, as he was already in love with another. It became a huge blow for the creator of the Usatoy Poiro. And she disappeared. They say that Christie wanted to end the life of suicide and fabricate evidence against her wrong husband.
And among the volunteers of the whole country, who helped find the literary divide, and was Sir Conan Doyle himself. True, his all his assistance was that he took the glove of Agata to one known medium. You will not believe, but the person who invented the pragmatic and atheistic character of all times, was a tary supporter and a propaganda of spiritualism, simply believed in all otherworldly forces. Fortunately, or unfortunately, the medium did not help any search operation, and the writer was found in 10 days in a small spa outside the city, where she calmly registered under the name of a negligent spinning and drank cocktails all 10 days. By the way, when, how and why Agata Christie found himself in that hotel, no one knows. The writer itself claims that she had short-term amnesia. But we are girls, we guessed ...
Lord Byron or Kazanova?
About the love adventures of Byron go legends. Biographers unequivocally contribute to his life fact that once in one year Venice Byron had the happiness of "communication" with more than 250 ladies. And this is despite the fact that the poet perfectly chrome and was extremely inclined to completeness. In addition, the pride of all England had a rather strange collection. He collected a strand of hair from the most intimate places of his mistresses. Locks, and at that time were surely they were stored in converters, where the poet himself took the names: "Gwichchi Countess", "Carolina Lam" ... in the 80s, to the great regret of literary crops, the collection was lost and the trace was not found until pores.
But the most common gossip go around the love of George Bairon to the Yunsham and Animals. If the first is exactly what you thought about, then the second is Platonic. In the Personal Mini Pet of the Poet, it was possible to meet crocodiles, badgers, horses, monkeys and many different living things. And the Great English poet Romantic came to rabies at the sight of ordinary salt salty. It is rumored that such has never been on lush festivities with Lord. The mystery of such a lute aggression to Salonka remained underestimated.
Dad chem and his cats
Everything is heard about the cat, alcoholic and suicide hemingue. He really suffered from the heavy form of paranoia, a number of sophisticated psychiatric techniques really pulled and stopped writing to the end of his life. And when Hemingway did not become, the American intelligence services confirmed what the Great Writer helped all his life - he really was surveillance.
But there is another side of the medal. The ideal of a man, life-seat and lovelass American dad Hem loved Cuban Mojito, beautiful journalists and honesty in everything. One day, sipping a friendly cocktail another giant of American literature, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, complained Hemingway that Zeld's wife considers his "male dignity" relatively small. To which the writer fascinated him to the toilet, arranged a control check, and then reassured the poor Fitzgerald, that everything is fine. I also knew.
But as for the cats, Hemingway has the most favorite pet was Snowubol, which has a not a big defect - six fingers on soft legs. Now you can get acquainted with the descendants of the snowball, which continue to give tribute to the genius of literature, and live in the House-Museum of Uncle Chem in Florida.
Charlie and Vax Factory
Being a completely child, the future pride of England Charles Dickensha had to be at all very sweet. The writer's father got into a debt prison, and the little Charlie had to go to work, unfortunately, not on a chocolate, but on the occurrence of a vaccine factory, where young giving had a whole day to glue labels on banks with Vax. Neither you football with slingshots, nor a halabud on a tree. That is why the images of the unfortunate orphans went out from Dickens such realistic.
In general, about the oddities of Charles John Dickens, you can write and write. The very famous one says that the writer could not sit down at the table or go to sleep his head not north. Charlie wrote his ingenious works precisely in such a direction.
Legends say that Dickens was knocked out by hypnosis and mesmerism (telepathic connection between people and animals), and even arbitrarily fell into trance. During such a state, the writer told his hats, which after the seizures very soon wear out. Later even had to abandon headdress altogether. Well, among other things, the favorite entertainment of English prose was hiking in the morgue. Especially in the ones of its sections where unidentified bodies exhibited. Wonderful pastime, I must say!
Antosha Chekhonte
The domestic example of the Heavy Childhood of the Writer - by all the favorite Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, whose father kept the tailored shop and forced his departures to work in it. Little Anton managed to learn and sing in the church choir, but he did not find his childhood.
Another extremely interesting fact about the great satirik: Chekhov in their arsenal kept more than 50 original pseudonyms: champagne, brother of my brother, a man without a spleen, Arkhip of Indykin, and of course, Antosha Chekhonte - only part of the endless fantasy Chekhov.
But Stanislavsky in his memoirs describes such a story. One day, during the way, Anton Pavlovich was located, a friend came to him. During the conversation, Chekhov was silent and only stared at the came. When the guest was gone, the master of the short genre was left: "Listen, he suicide", for which Stanislavsky was just laughed, because a more joyful, happy and optimistic man than this friend did not meet. Immember the director when a few years later, the "cheerful" guest poisoned.
Yet contemporaries describe Chekhov as the best person himself on Earth. With Mild Hand Anton Pavlovich Chekhov Russia has become richer for schools, hospitals and shelters for those who have nowhere to go.
Coffee instead of sex
Somehow to the young, while not very successful, the writer in the apartment was climbed by a thief. When he began to rebound the boxes in the sole in the apartment of the dresser, heard a loud laugh behind his back. Onor de Balzac, so called a novice writer, noted loudly that it was hardly a wage to find money where he could not find them himself.
The author's contemporaries claim that it was the sharp sense of humor who helped Balzak to survive in the sorrows and poverty. Humor and coffee. The famous Frenchman could have a day about 50 cups of extremely strong coffee. Someone even counted that during the writing of the "human comedy" Balzac drank 15,000 cups fragrant. And this is without grains that Cofeman loved to chew when it was not possible to cook a favorite drink.
And another onion de Balzac believed that sex is equivalent to one good novel. Male seed, according to his competent opinion, nothing else like particles of cerebral tissue. After his friend after the night of love, he even somehow confessed with bitterness that she probably lost the brilliant work.
From comet to comet
Another lover of pseudonyms, Mark Twain, invented themselves more than a dozen. And the Mark Twain itself meant "By The Mark Twain", that is, the safe dive of the ship in two sea soot. In his youth, the creator of Tom Sawyer worked for a long time on the same sea vessel somewhere in the waters of Mississippi.
Few people know that Samuel Clemens, so truly names the writer, born two weeks after the comet of Gallei swept over the earth. And in 1909, Twain wrote: "I was born with Gallei, and I will leave with her." On April 20, the comet again renounced the planet, and the next day the genius did not become.
Probably, this particular fact predicted Mark Twen such an unreal life, full of secrets. One of the best friends of Prosaik was a mysterious Nikola Tesla. Together with him, Twain participated in the development of mysterious inventions and even patented several, among which an album with adhesive pages for the photo and the original suspenders with self-regulation.
And the world famous American hated children (in spite of our pets - Tom and Gope), but he adored cats and tobacco. He began smoking when he was only 8 years old, and until the last day his life smoked for 30 cigars daily. Moreover, tween grade chose the cheapest and flicker.
Among other things, Mark Twain was one of the most famous American masons. About his activity in the bed is known a little. His initiation occurred in 1861 in the small town of St. Louis and he very quickly advanced on the "career ladder".
In search of a green stick
Well, the last hero of our article, the writer whose image has become legendary for the whole Mother of Russia. Lion's life of Nikolayevich Tolstoy has been studied by us from school along and across. But do you know what influenced the ideas of the writer about the universal world, love and harmony? As a child, a little Levushka briefly told a story about a magic green wand, which can be found on the outskirts of that very clear clearing and with its help to make the world much better. It was this tale that influenced the entire future life and the worldview of the great novelist and the teacher.
But in his youth, the future star of Russian literature suffered from a common disease - gambling. In one card game with a neighbor, a landlord Gorokhov Tolstoy lost a house in which he grows, and everything on the same clear clearing. Gorokhov, not thinking short, disassembled the building on a brick and transported to his estate.
On this oddity, Tolstoy does not end. In his first wedding night, Lev Nikolayevich forced 18-year-old Sofia Bers to re-read his entire diary, especially by paying moments with love adventures. Tolstoy wanted to be honest with a woman who took his wife, and told her about all his mistresses, including about adventure with countless peasants. It is rumored that what should happen between husband and wife, this night never happened.

Sergey Sedov from those writers that fascinate at a personal meeting no less than when meeting with his texts - such a real modern storyteller, a person who is not tied to space and time, a former teacher and Moscow janitor, whose fairy tales we began to read in 80 x. Do not count how many times these fairy tales are about the boy Lesch, about the frog pip, about the kings, about the fools - they were forgotten and published in the last thirty years, and they still sound stiguously new. Sedov has a wonderful manner of a light letter, it seems that everything that he touches, turns into an exciting game, not to join which it is impossible. But the main thing in Sedov is the infinite freedom of his imagination, in the spirit of his completely children's, his branded oddity, thanks to which he can allow his heroes to be amazing transformation into a vacuum cleaner and an air ball, and in his fairy tales about mothers it allows themselves to show mom-drunkard and indifferent mom . All this is manifestations of one touching care, but on different ways. There was a time when Sedov published a little more and better, but now, unfortunately, it is not easy to find any horror counters, nor a remarkably ridiculous retelling of the ancient Greek myths "Hercules. 12 great feats. The story of the eyewitness ", nor even his New Year's fairy tale" as Santa Claus appeared to the world ", written in collaboration with Marina Moskvina. Nevertheless, always on sale "Fairy Tales about Lesha" - Sedov Classical in all respects, causing the same delight of parents and children.

And each situation from the marital life is a separate story of growing and internal growth, whether it is a story about the death of a loved one, about the school novel, about holidays and losses, about uncomfortable and in their own way of tragic situations in which every child can be. The brilliant invention is to see in the same image, as in the children's world, the extreme and ordinary, small and large, feeling of absolute insecurity in front of the world and daily victories over its obstacles are combined.

In fact, in the light of the achievements of world children's psychology, according to which the game should be important for children, and not a textbook, freedom of imagination, and not a cramp, Guivgizov - exactly the writer who is needed to create a total laughter's atmosphere and fun. He never fails, and, although many of his poems and stories seem for jokes, games, their important theme is invariably become the search for freedom in any single situation, whether conversations with adults, school lessons or long-distance travels.
