A bit of biography
The mother of the future writer is a simple peasant woman from the Poltava province Ekaterina Osipovna Korneichukova, who gave birth to a then student Emmanuil Solomonovich Levenson. Korney Ivanovich's childhood passed in the city of Odessa, where his mother was forced to move. The reason for this decision was that the writer's father left her as a woman "outside her circle."
The first publications of Korney Ivanovich were published in the newspaper "Odessa News", which was promoted by his friend Zhabotinsky. Then the works - articles, essays, stories and others - simply "flowed like a river", and already in 1917 the writer began to work on the work of Nekrasov.
Then Korney Ivanovich took many other literary figures as a subject of study, and already in 1960 the writer began one of the main works of his life - a retelling of the Bible especially for children.
The main museum of the writer is currently working in Peredelkino near Moscow, where Kornei Ivanovich ended his life on October 28, 1969 as a result of viral hepatitis. In Peredelkino, Chukovsky's dacha is located not far from the place where Pasternak lived.
