Dmitry Vasilievich Grigorovich - Russian writer, translator. The son of a landowner, a retired major, and a French woman, the daughter of an executed royalist, Grigorovich practically did not speak Russian until the age of 8: his father died early, and his mother and grandmother, living in the Tula province, nevertheless gave the child a French home education. For three years, Dmitry studied at a French boarding school in Moscow, then for four years at the St. Petersburg Military Engineering School (where he met Fyodor Dostoevsky), and then, not feeling an inclination for the exact sciences, he transferred to the Academy of Arts.
Great influence on 20-year-old Grigorovich had a meeting with a mature writer Nikolai Nekrasov, who at that time published literary collections. In one of them, a joint story by Grigorovich, Nekrasov and Dostoevsky "How dangerous it is to indulge in ambitious dreams" was published, in the other - Grigorovich's physiological essay "Petersburg Organ Grinders": in order to achieve greater naturalism in details, he went around all the St. Petersburg slums.
Name Grigorovich made on the stories "The Village" and "Anton-Goremyka", published in the main literary magazines of his time and depicting the bitter everyday life of serfs. Leo Tolstoy, Vissarion Belinsky and others spoke about their great significance for their time. In the then most progressive genre of realism, the novels "Country roads" (1852), "Fishermen" (1853), "Settlers" (1855), "Plowman" ( 1856).
After a sharp split in the editorial office of Nekrasov's Sovremennik, of which Grigorovich was a member, he stops writing and plunges into work for the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, where he works as a secretary.
"Gutta-percha boy" (1883 ) was written by Grigorovich in the mature period of creativity after 20 years of silence. The story of the flexible, as if "rubber" acrobat boy, so effectively announced in the circus poster, is shown from the inside out and paints a harsh and unsightly picture of the exploitation of childhood. Turgenev called the story "a small masterpiece", and indeed, it is difficult to keep from tears, reading deliberately dry lines, deeply immersing us in the days of the short and hopeless life of a boy from a poor family.
