Mother, Anastasia Patskovskaya, was the daughter of an impoverished Polish landowner. Andreev was the first child, later five children were born in the family.

My father was a man of a clear mind, strong will and huge fearlessness ...

He loved and read a lot of books, but he treated nature with the deepest attention and soulful love." First, Andreev Jr. read all the books at home, and when he was seven years old, he received a subscription at the local library. Andreev’s mother taught him to draw. Being already a famous writer, he even participated in exhibitions, although he never considered himself a talented artist: I did not like nature and always painted from my head, sometimes falling into comic mistakes: I still remember a horse, which, according to some ridiculous chance, turned out to be only three legs.

Everything had already finished, “from the Test” of the sides, similar to sausage, and forgot the fourth leg. Leonid Andreev, Autobiography in the year Parents sent Leonid Andreev to the Oryol classical gymnasium. He studied badly: in the seventh grade he was the last student in the classroom. In the autobiographical story “Summer”, he wrote: “Gymnasium rules did not allow us to use tobacco and wine for us, which can drown out remorse, and I had to resort to other means.

Early in the morning, and sometimes at night, I went with the guys to catch fish, sat on the dam and followed the sky, in which delicate colors were replaced with divine peace and beauty. ” He was so carried away by philosophy that at the age of 16 he wanted to test philosophical teachings about the will of providence and lay down between the rails before the approaching train. Even in the gymnasium, he read Schopenhauer.

And he tortured us straight. You say, you think that the whole universe exists, but this is only your idea, and you yourself may not exist, because you are also only my idea. The world will turn it over-all “manifestations of one mysterious and crazy force that wants to destroy a person.

Andreev’s mother said: “Leonid gymnasium finished, and I thought about further.

He attracted him to the noisy capital, and then Orlovites, students and careers, filed determination. ” In the year, Andreev entered the Faculty of Law of St. Petersburg University. In St. Petersburg, the future writer lived poorly, sometimes Zinaida Sibilev helped him.

A terrible impression makes a university on me: I just can’t digest it. For the second week I have not shown my nose there; Yesterday it was shown, but how he spent half an hour in the hall, waiting for the end of the lectures - he did not know how to leave as soon as possible? Students are in particular badly on me, they must be good people, and I see something disgusting in them ...

Leonid Andreev, Andreev earned an entry in the diary on September 24 by writing portraits. In the hope of new income, he began to compose stories. In the year, he finished the work “On a Hungry Student” and took the text to the editorial office of the newspaper “Week”. However, they refused to publish it.

Now, with confidence, follow your tendency and take care of playing. I am sure that success awaits me. I know myself, I know that I can do a lot if I want.

” In the winter of the year, he arrived at Christmas holidays home, in an eagle. At one of the festive evenings, the writer saw the gymnasium student Evgeny Khludenev and fell in love. Soon Andreev made a proposal to the girl, but she refused him. A relative of Andreeva Sofya Panova recalled: “... he was wearing a Chinese suit with an unusually funny mask. We went to friends, and there was this girl.

She joked all the time all the time. He was in a mask explained to her in love, and she laughed. " This story later entered the story "Laughter".Andreev returned to Petersburg, he was defeated and tried to commit suicide: “I came here a bit full of gloomy thoughts and intentions. There was no money for the future with them. A drunken ugly life in Orel was reflected in a mental state.

The Head of the Judicial Department Isaac Novik recalled: "Andreev’s court reports were not the usual reporting reports of the matters who were versed in court ...

For the Easter number of the year, at the request of the editors, Andreev wrote the story “Bargamot and Garaska” about a policeman who spared the Orlovsky drunkard on the eve of the holiday. The work was read by the writer Maxim Gorky. In the “Book of Leonid Andreev” Gorky recalled: “... from this story I was in a strong blow of talent.” Dressed in an older-pollow coat, in a furry lamb hat, he resembled a young actor of the Ukrainian troupe.

His beautiful face seemed to me inactive, but the gaze of dark eyes glowed with the smile that shone so well in his stories and feuilletons ... He spoke hastily, deaf, dull voice ... and unusually waving his hand - he accurately conducted. It seemed to me that this is a healthy, unearthly cheerful person who was able to live at the hardships of being. The poet Nikolai Teleshov told in the notes of the writer: “At ten o’clock, when reading usually began, Gorky proposed to listen to a small story of a young author.

At the meeting of the circle there was a publisher of the popular “magazine for all” Viktor Mirolyubov. He was touched by Andreev’s stories, and he suggested the writer to publish works. In the year, the publishing house “Knowledge”, which was headed by Gorky, published the first collection of stories by the writer.

The collection was so popular that a year later it was reprinted and complemented with new stories. ” In the year, a scandal broke out in the literary environment about Andreev’s work “Abyss”. In the final of the story, Student Nemovetsky attacked his lover who had lost consciousness: “And with force, he pressed against her lips, feeling his teeth pressed into the body, and in pain and fortresses, losing the last glimpses of thought.

It seemed to him that the girl's lips trembled. For an instant, a sparkling fiery horror lit up his thoughts, opening a black abyss in front of him. And the Black Abyss swallowed him. ” Criticism rained down on Leonid Andreev, his work was called "exemplary vileness." However, there were those who defended the young author. The flight abroad and the critic of the writer in the year Leonid Andreev married Alexander Veligorskaya, a distant relative of the poet Taras Shevchenko.
