Biography of Lokhvitsky Hope

Bibliography Biography Taffy is a writer who created in a variety of literary genres. Her works were read out by the last Russian king and the leader of the world proletariat. Modern readers recognize themselves and friends in the bourgeois enthusiastic about shopping and the nobles suffering from love. The biography of the writer, whose language and heroes are not outdated over the years, is full of riddles and hoaxes.

Childhood and youth Nadezhda Lokhvitskaya real name and surname of the most successful “satirist in a skirt” were born in the city in the Neva in the spring of the year. There are disputes about the exact date of birth, as well as how many children were in the family. It was documented that Nadi had one youngest Lena and three older Varya, Lida and Masha Sister and one older brother Kolya.

The father of the future writer was a specialist in constitutional law and successfully combined the role of a lawyer, a professor, a literary popularizer of jurisprudence, the mother had French roots. When Nadia was 12 years old, the father of the family died. From an early age, the girl loved books and even tried to change the fate of the characters: in her youth, Nadia went to Leo Tolstoy and asked the writer not to lose the life of Andrei Bolkonsky.

The first verses were born at the hope of Lokhvitskaya during training at the gymnasium. The girl was not a beauty and married the first applicant. A marriage with Vladimir Buchinsky brought the hope of two daughters - Leroux and Lena and son Yanek, but the mother of the “demonic woman” turned out to be something wrong. Having lived until 28 years old, Lokhvitskaya left her husband.

Buchinsky in revenge deprived Nadia with children. Books separated from the offspring of Lokhvitskaya, unlike Anna Karenina, did not rush under the train, but returned to the youthful dream of literature and debuted in the journal North the poem "I dreamed of crazy and beautiful dream." By the time the work was published, the sister of a novice writer, Maria, was already a famous poetess, who created Mirra Lokhvitskaya under the pseudonym.

Hope thought about the original literary name. The origin of the pseudonym Taffy Lokhvitskaya Jr. explained differently. The first version - Nadezhda remembered the unusually stupid, but very lucky acquaintance, whom the friends called Staffy, and for conspiracy discarding the initial letter, came up with a name under which she became famous. The second version - the pseudonym was borrowed by Lokhvitskaya from Kipling's story about a playful, deserving flogging for the girl.

The playfulness of both versions corresponded to the role of the hope, the popularity: a writer who knew how to write poetry, compose and translate plays, create novels and memoirs, became famous as the author of short stories, which combined satire and lyricism. The program "Book Regiment" - "Nadezhda Tuffy. Biography and Creativity" If Mirra Lokhvitskaya became the literary forerunner of the poets -female Akhmatova and Tsvetaeva, then Taffy is a new Star of the style created by Anton Chekhov.

How bitterly ironically was hope: "Poetry is my love, and humorous fiction is a nurse." The king of Russian humor Arkady Averchenko appreciated the work of the competitor and printed feuilleton and humor Tuffy in his publishing house Satyricon. The miniatures of the writers also came out in the “Russian Word” and “Speech”. The name "Tuffy" bore perfumes and chocolate sweets. Hopes of Nadezhda Taffy combined the fascination of detectives with the edification of fables.

In the stories “Criminal” and “Life and collar”, the heroes masters the passion for things. But if in the first a 5-year thief repents and firmly embarks on the path of correction, then in the second “fashionable collar” begins to twist before a decent young lady. In the works “Happy Love”, “Demonic Woman” and “Katya”, the heroes deceive others and, as a result, themselves.

In the story “Happiness”, the tonality is completely different than in the listed humor - now these are laughter through tears: the Sharikovs come to power, and the former Kukharkin boyfriend threatens the execution of the family for the accidentally preserved portrait of Kerensky. Lokhvitsky did not accept the October Revolution. Life in a foreign land was not sweet, but Tuffy's gift and determination, probably saved the writer from death in the Bolshevik dungeons.

The writer sought to remain a mystery to her personal life and limited the access of journalists to her personal life, and answered questions about the age that she was feeling summer. It is known that the woman was fond of mysticism and loved cats very much, especially the last pet, suffering from obesity. In the mature years, Taffy tried to establish communication with grown children, but only the eldest Valeria went to contact from three offspring.

The documentary "Women in Russian History: Tuffy" Readers who longed to get acquainted with the queen of Russian -speaking humor, were disappointed when communicating with teff - the idol had a melancholy and irritable character. However, with brothers on Peru, the writer was good and generous. The Taffy created in the French capital, the literary salon became the center of attraction of Russian emigrants, its regulars were Don-Aminado and Prose writer Alexei Tolstoy.He managed to get along with a lady who knew the price and very distracted in everyday life, the second wife - the son of the former Kaluga manufacturer Pavel Aleksandrovich Tikston, managed.

Nadezhda Alexandrovna considered her second husband the best person on earth, and when the disease immobilized him, she touchingly looked after her husband. In the last years of his life, the writer of concern for its material support was taken by philanthropist S. death rumors about the death of Tuffy, who survived the fascist occupation of France, hung long before the departure of Nadezhda Aleksandrovna from life.

In the 10th years of the 20th century, Mikhail Tseetlin published the obituary of the writer's memory. But Taffy died only in the year, having managed to create essays on familiar celebrities and a cycle of stories about animals before leaving for eternity. The cause of death was an attack of angina pectoris.
