Permyak Evgeny Andreevich (10/18/1902 - 08/17/1972) - Soviet writer and playwright. From under his pen came both serious works of literature, in which the author reflected the social reality of his era, and children's stories. Interestingly, it was the latter that brought him the greatest fame.

“I am books. And it is by them that I should be known and judged. Only through books does a writer take his place in history. He can be exalted or overthrown. And all the other articles are just a breeze, which is also changeable "

Childhood

Evgeny Permyak was born on October 18, 1902 in Perm. By the way, this surname is just a pseudonym that the writer will take in the future in honor of his native land. And at birth he was Vissov.

Eugene's parents were ordinary workers. Father worked at the post office, mother at a weaving factory. It so happened that the boy was forced to leave his home in the first year of his life. Together with their mother, they went to the neighboring city of Votkinsk.

There he became very closely acquainted with the life of ordinary workers - workers of factories and mines. His aunt worked in one such enterprise, and he often spent time with her after school. Evgeny Permyak even later recalled that “he got acquainted with open-hearth furnaces earlier than with the primer, and with the instruments long before he learned the multiplication table”.

By the way, it is precisely this closeness to the working class that will later form the basis of Permyak's creativity. And most of his works will be devoted specifically to ordinary workers. But in general, Eugene grew up an ordinary Soviet child. He ran through the streets with the guys, played Indians and dreamed of learning and mastering some profession in the future. And then he did not think of becoming a writer.

Study and work

In Votkinsk, Permyak graduated from a church school, and then got a job. He served first at the Kupinsky meat station, and then moved to the "Record" candy factory in Perm. It was at this time that literary talent began to wake up in Eugene. He tried to write both prose and poetry. And he did well, in any case, the young man began to be printed in several newspapers at once - Zvezda and Krasnoe Prikamye. True, the young writer was a little shy about his works, so he signed himself with the pseudonym “Master Nepryakhin”.

In 1924, Evgeny Permyak began studying at the Perm University at the pedagogical faculty. But he did not give up his literary activity. Together with other students, he organized the "Live Theatrical Newspaper", which was simply called "ZhGT". It was two in one - first, various works were printed on paper, and then the best ones were theatrical. Each new issue of the newspaper was received with a bang, and very quickly it became the most popular in Perm.

Creation

After graduation, Evgeny Permyak moved to Moscow, where he began to work as a playwright. At that time, his two famous plays were released - "Roll" and "The Forest is Noisy". The audience fell in love with them so much that very soon these performances began to be staged at all theaters in the country.

But it so happened that the Great Patriotic War gave the main impetus to Permyak's writing career. He, like many residents of Moscow, was evacuated to Sverdlovsk in 1941. And many famous writers of that time also went there. Among them are Lev Kassil, Agnia Barto, Fyodor Gladkov, Olga Vysotskaya, Anna Karavaeva, Ilya Sadofiev, Yuri Verkhovsky and many others. And all of them naturally communicated with each other. So Evgeny Permyak acquired extremely useful acquaintances and, more importantly, he began to gain invaluable experience from his more famous “fellow writers”. But an even more important role in the formation of Permyak as a writer was played by Pavel Bazhov, who at that time headed the Sverdlovsk literary organization. They didn't just communicate on professional matters, they became good friends.

In 1946, the first book by Evgeny Permyak, entitled "Who to be?" This is a large collection of stories, which is united by one goal - to tell children about various professions, to show that each lesson has its own charm, and to teach young readers to always work hard to achieve results. The writer continues a similar theme in his other works for children. Among them are "Grandfather's Piggy Bank" (1957), "From the Fire to the Cauldron" (1959), "The Tale of the Gray Wolf" (1960), "The Keyless Lock" (1962), "Humpbacked Bear" (1965), "The Silent Kingdom Lutoni ”(1970) and many others.

But in the work of the author there are also more serious stories and stories that were already intended for an older circle of readers. For example, the love story "The Last Frost" (1972), which tells about the relationship between a boy and a girl and the extremely difficult choices that we all have to make in life. Books such as Heroes of the Days to Come (1951), The ABC of Our Life (1963, 1972), My Land (1970), and Straightforward Conversation (1977) also fall into this category.

Mitya planed his wand, planed and dropped it. The oblique stick turned out. Uneven. Ugly.

How is this so? - Mitya's father asks.

The knife is bad, - Mitya answers, - he slices sideways.

No, - says the father, - a good knife. He's just hasty. You need to learn it with patience.

But as? - Mitya asks.

And so, - said the father.

He took his wand and began to plane it slowly, gently, carefully.

Mitya understood how to teach a knife to patience, and he also began to plan slowly, slightly, carefully.

For a long time the hasty knife did not want to obey. I was in a hurry: now at random, now I tried to twist, but it didn’t work. Mitya made him be patient.

The knife began to cut well. Smooth. Handsomely. Obediently.

The first fish

Yura lived in a large and friendly family. Everyone in this family worked. Only one Yura did not work. He was only five years old.

Once Yurina's family went to fish and cook fish soup. They caught a lot of fish and gave them all to grandmother. Yura also caught one fish. Ruff. I gave it to my grandmother too. For fish soup.

Grandma cooked the fish soup. The whole family on the shore sat around the bowler hat and let's praise the ear:

From the fact that our ear is delicious, that Yura caught a huge ruff. Because our ear is fat and nourishing, that a ruff is fatter than a catfish.

And although Yura was small, he understood that adults were joking. Is the fat from a tiny ruff great? But he was still happy. He was happy because his little fish was in the big family ear.

How Masha Got Big

Little Masha really wanted to grow up. Highly. And how to do this, she did not know. I tried everything. And she wore my mother's shoes. And I sat in my grandmother's hood. And I did my hair like Aunt Katya's. And I tried on beads. And she put a watch on her hand.

Nothing worked. They just laughed at her and made fun of her.

Once Masha decided to sweep the floor. And swept it up. Yes, she swept it so well that even my mother was surprised:

Masha! Are you really getting big with us?

And when Masha washed the dishes clean and dry and wiped them dry, then not only mother, but also father was surprised. He was surprised and in front of everyone at the table said:

We did not even notice how Maria grew up with us. Not only does the floor sweep, but also washes the dishes.

Now all little Masha is called big. And she feels like an adult, although she walks in her tiny shoes and in a short dress. No hair. No beads. No watch.

It is not they, apparently, who make small ones big.

Oh!

Nadia didn’t know how to do anything. Nadya's grandmother dressed, put on shoes, washed, combed her hair.

Mom gave Nadia a drink from a cup, fed her from a spoon, put her to bed, lulled her to sleep.

Evgeny Permyak is the pseudonym of Evgeny Andreevich Vissov. He was born on October 31, 1902 in Perm, but in the very first days after birth, he was brought to Votkinsk with his mother. Over the years, Zhenya Vissov lived for a short time in Perm with relatives, but most of his childhood and youth were spent in Votkinsk.

"The years spent with my aunt at the Votkinsk plant," the writer recalled, "can be called the primary source of my childhood and adolescence ... I looked into the open-hearth furnace earlier than into the primer. I made friends with an ax, a hammer, a chisel, and tools before meeting multiplication table ".

In Votkinsk, E. Vissov graduated from the second grade school, then served as a clerk at the Kupinsky meat station, worked at the "Record" candy factory in Perm. At the same time, he auditioned as a public correspondent in the newspapers "Zvezda", "Krasnoe Prikamye" (Votkinsk), signed his rabselkor correspondence and poems with the pseudonym "Master Nepryakhin"; was the director of the drama club in the Tomsky workers' club.

In the State Archives of the Perm Region, Evgeny Andreevich's first correspondent ticket is kept, where it is indicated that "the ticket was issued to Comrade Evgeny Andreevich Vissov-Nepryakhin, that he was entrusted with the editorial work of a correspondent in Votkinsk. All responsible, professional, party and Soviet workers are invited to provide comrade ... Vissov-Nepryakhin full assistance. Comrade Vissov-Nepryakhin, as a representative of the local press, has the right to be at all open meetings, institutions and conferences. In the interests of the cause, all institutions and organizations are pleased to provide comrade Vissov-Nepryakhin full assistance. September 15, 1923 g. " State paper, but what a syllable!

In 1924, Evgeny Vissov entered the Perm University at the pedagogical faculty at the socio-economic department. In the questionnaire upon admission to the question "What caused the decision to enter the PSU?" he wrote: "I have a desire to work in the field of public education in the branch of the economy." At the university, he plunged headlong into social work: he was engaged in club work, actively participated in the organization of the then popular circle of the Live Theatrical Newspaper (ZhTG).

Here is what Evgeny Andreevich wrote, addressing the Perm students on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Komsomol organization of PSU in 1973: “In the Komsomol work of Perm University at the end of the twenties, ZhTG (Zhivaya Theatricalized Newspaper) occupied a significant place, which we called although not very loudly, but definitely: "Forge." Perm University in those years in the Urals was almost the only higher educational institution. And, without exaggeration, it was a forge of teachers, doctors, agronomists, chemists and pharmacists. ZhTG "Kuznitsa" was created soon after the first in Perm working newspaper "Rupor" in the club of communal workers. "Kuznitsa" ... was the best newspaper in the city. And this is understandable. There were great opportunities for selecting those wishing to work in ZhTG. For those who are not quite clear what they were ZhTG, I will say in a nutshell: Zhivaya Theatricalized Newspaper differed from the printed and wall newspaper mainly in the means of "reproduction" of newspaper material, while theatricalization was the main means. from the front line to the chronicle, from the feuilleton to the announcements, he was “played out” in persons, “theatricalized”. Sometimes there was oral reading, as we see now on the TV screen, and sometimes (and most often) it was performed in the form of scenes, verses, ditties with dancing, etc. (well, what is not a modern KVN! Note. Auth.).

The release of the issue of The Forge at the university was a small sensation. Firstly, this is the most "burning spite" of the day. Secondly, the courage and sometimes ruthlessness of criticism. And finally, a spectacle! Recitative. Singing. Dancing and ... even a kind of "acrobatics" and, of course, music. Sometimes even a small orchestra. And if at the university at the release of ZhTG it was cramped in the hall, then one can imagine what was done at the exit releases of the ZhTG. They wanted it. They demanded almost through the okrug ... The living newspaper, like any other world, belongs to the category of undying phenomena. And the newspaper as a newspaper, as a public agitator, propagandist and organizer is a completely unshakable phenomenon. "

As a delegate from PSU, Evgeny Vissov traveled to Moscow to the All-Union Congress of Club Workers in 1925, to the All-Union Conference of Live Newspapers in 1926.

Student life was not easy, and although E. Vissov received a scholarship and small royalties from newspapers, there was not enough money. I had to earn extra money. And here in the personal file of the student Vissov-Nepryakhin we find a document stating that he was "dismissed from service in the Vodokanal Administration on October 1, 1925, where he received a salary of 31 rubles a month ..." Unfortunately, documents on his admission and work in the Perm water utility were not found. The only thing that became known: Evgeny Andreevich was the controller of the water supply system, earning a living during the summer holidays in 1925. God's ways are inscrutable! Maybe his Vodokanal experience was reflected to some extent in the writer's work?

After graduating from university, Yevgeny Andreevich left for the capital, starting a writing career as a playwright. His plays "The Forest Is Noisy" and "Roll" were performed in almost all theaters of the country, but the Urals did not forget. When the Great Patriotic War began, he was evacuated to Sverdlovsk, where he lived all the war years. Fedor Gladkov, Lev Kassil, Agniya Barto, Anna Karavaeva, Marietta Shaginyan, Evgeny Permyak, Ilya Sadofiev, Olga Forsh, Yuri Verkhovsky, Elena Blaginina, Oksana Ivanenko, Olga Vysotskaya and many others came to Sverdlovsk at that time. A large family of writers has gathered.

At that time, the Sverdlovsk Writers' Organization was headed by P.P. Bazhov. E.A. Permyak often visited Pavel Petrovich and not only for writing, but also just at friendly gatherings. Here is what the grandson of PP Bazhov Vladimir Bazhov writes, recalling those times: "The writer Yevgeny Permyak with his wife and daughter Oksana came to visit grandfather on New Year's Eve. Yevgeny Andreyevich liked to surprise with something unusual. That evening he brought a pack of pictures drawn by his daughter. Each drawing was drawn with colored pencils by someone from the family of P. P. Bazhov or E. A. Permyak. The tree was very cheerful and unforgettable. Oksana and I recited poems and danced to a friendly laugh In general, Evgeny Permyak was known as a cheerful and cheerful person. Of all the people who were at that time in my grandfather's house, I remember him most of all. "

Life in Perm, Votkinsk, Sverdlovsk was reflected in the writer's books: "The ABC of Our Life", "High Steps", "Grandfather's Piggy Bank", "Mavrik's Childhood", "My Land", "Memorable Knots", "Solvinskie Memories". He is the author of collections of fairy tales and popular science books for children and youth "Who to be?" (1946), "Grandfather's piggy bank" (1957), "From the fire to the cauldron" (1959), "The lock without a key" (1962) and others, which affirm the great importance of labor. The writer is faithful to this theme in the novels: The Tale of the Gray Wolf (1960), The Last Frost (1962), The Humpbacked Bear (1965), The Kingdom of Quiet Lutoni (1970), etc.

"I am books. Let them know and judge me. And cards, photographs, articles are all a breeze and a breeze, moreover changeable. Books and only books determine the place of the writer in the writer's order. And there is no power in a positive and negative sense , except for books that could glorify the writer or cross out "- these are lines from the letter of the writer N.P. Suntsova, head of the city children's library No. 1 in Votkinsk. Almost all of the writer's works are about working people, masters of their craft, about their talent, creative search, and spiritual wealth.

Evgeny Permyak's books have been translated into many languages \u200b\u200band published in many countries. He was awarded 2 orders and medals.

Permyak Evgeny (real name Evgeny Andreevich Vissov) is a prose writer.

Born in Perm, but in the first days after birth, he was brought to Votkinsk with his mother. Most of his childhood and youth (over 15 years) was spent in Votkinsk, where he studied at a parish school, gymnasium and gymnasium. In the early 1920s, Permyak entered the Kulundinsky steppes (Siberia), where he worked on the food front. Later, his impressions of Siberia will form the basis of the book "Thin String", a cycle of "Kulun-Dinsk" stories and novellas: "Daughter of the Moon", "Salamata", "Shosha-Sherstobit", "Page of Youth", "Happy Crash".

He changed a lot of classes: he was a grocer, a procurer, an instructor for cultural and educational work, a journalist, and the head of an agitational collective. Published since 1924. He published Rabselkor correspondence in the Sarapul newspaper Krasnoe Prikamye, wrote poetry under the pseudonym Master Nepryakhin.

In 1930 he graduated from the Pedagogical Faculty of Perm University. In his student years, he became the organizer of the magazine "Live theatrical newspaper", created on the model of the famous "Blue Blouse" in those years. In 1929, his brochure "The History of a Live Theater Newspaper" was published in Perm.

In the early 1930s, Permyak moved to Moscow and took up professional literary activity. Collaborates in the magazines "Village Theater", "Club Stage". Declares himself as a playwright. Of the plays of the early 1930s, the most famous are Les Noises (1937), Roll (1939).

During the Great Patriotic War, Permyak was in Sverdlovsk with a group of Moscow writers. He actively cooperates with the Soviet Information Bureau, responds to current events with journalism in the newspapers of Sverdlovsk, Nizhny Tagil, Chelyabinsk, and speaks at factories. At this time, he became close to P. Bazhov, helped him to lead the local writers' organization. This relationship developed into a lasting friendship. Subsequently, Permyak dedicated the book "The Long-Life Master" to Bazhov.

In 1942 in Sverdlovsk the book “Ermakov's Swans. Heroic performance in 4 acts by Evgeny Permyak based on the tale of the same name P. Bazhova about Ermake Timofeevich , his brave Esauls, his faithful bride Alyonushka and about the great sovereign Ivane Vasilievich ". Later, Permyak wrote another play based on Bazhov's tale - "The Silver Hoof" (published in Moscow in 1956). He himself wrote down and processed the legends about the mountain of Grace. In the joint trips of Bazhov and Permyak across the Urals, books of essays "Ural Notes", "Builders" were born.

Then the idea of \u200b\u200bthe book "Who to Be" appeared. The book consists of 12 plot-complete chapters (notebooks), united by a common author's task: to reveal the poetry of labor and to acquaint the young reader with a huge number of professions existing on earth. Telling about the fascinating journey of his young heroes in the huge "kingdom of labor", the author brings them to the famous storyteller, his story about the famous craftsman-charcoal burner Timokh, who is convinced that "there is life in every business: it runs ahead of skill and pulls a person behind it." ... The thought that in every business it is necessary to "find gum" goes through the whole journey into the world of professions. In any business, you can become a happy, famous person. The book that appeared in 1946 opened a new significant stage in the work of Permyak - the arrival in children's literature. The book enjoyed great success, was translated into many languages \u200b\u200bof the peoples of the USSR, incl. and in the Permian Komi.

Permyak is the author of popular science books for children "From the Fire to the Boiler" (1959), "The Tale of the Country of Terra Ferro" (1959), "The Tale of Gas" (1957), the collection of fairy tales "Grandfather's Piggy Bank" (1957), Keyless Lock (1962), etc .; publicistic books on economic and political topics: "On the seven heroes" (1960), "The ABC of our life" (1963). United by the idea of \u200b\u200bthe importance of labor, they show the "secret of the price" of human labor, the need to join labor from childhood, because good people, masters of their country and destiny, will grow out of hardworking little Soviet citizens.

Permyak is considered one of the creators of the modern fairy tale. Drawing on fabulous traditions, using fabulous, fabulous forms, he puts new, modern content into the traditional genre. Fiction, bold fantasy in Permyak's fairy tales is real, practically justified, as close as possible to life. The heroes of Permyak's fairy tales do not seek help from magical powers. Inquiring knowledge wins, labor is an eternally new "magic force" that always remains modern. Only through labor is happiness obtained, only through labor is the power of man, the source of his life.

“... Somewhere in the fifty-third year of my life, I crossed some threshold, beyond which the steps of the staircase began,” Permyak noted. The novels The Tale of the Gray Wolf (1960), The Old Witch (1961), The Humpbacked Bear (1965), The Last Frosts (1962), The Kingdom of Quiet Lutoni (1970), and others have become the steps of the creative path. The living problems of today are sometimes embedded here in a framework conditional in their forms. The fairy tale becomes a reality, is saturated with political content. The ideological and artistic basis of Permyak's novels is the clash of characters and events that express the spirit of the times. Modernity in Permyak's novels is not a background, but the main content that determines the conflicts of the narrative, the figurative system, the entire structure. The journalistic intensity of the writing, the satirical coloring and the lyrical penetration of the author's characteristics are the essential features of Permyak's novels. Critics reproached Permyak for being too journalistic, naked sharpening of situations and characters, but Permyak himself deliberately weaves it into the narrative, and in his speeches on literary topics insisted that the so-called. journalistic threads have a long history in Russian literature and represent an active civic position of the author-narrator.

In his novels, Permyak is looking for fresh narrative forms, uses the forms of a fairy tale - there were, her allegoricality , fairy-tale symbolism, fairy-tale motives, realized in the linguistic richness of the author's descriptions, the wise cunning of the experienced storyteller. Along with this, Permyak's novels are characterized by the rapid development of the action, the unexpectedness of plot twists, and the laconic character of the author's characteristics.

The novel "The Tale of the Gray Wolf" is associated with the life of the workers of the Urals. Permyak draws his contemporaries from the Urals village of Bakhrushi. The energetic, knowledgeable collective farm chairman Pyotr Bakhrushin lives here. Suddenly it turns out that his brother Trofim, who was considered dead during the Civil War, is alive, has become a farmer in America, and comes to visit his native village. The tourist farmer is accompanied by American journalist John Teiner, who wanted to witness "a somewhat unusual meeting of two brothers from different worlds" and write a book about the life of the Russian countryside. The fate of the American farmer, the story of his arrival as an international tourist in his native village, meetings with Soviet people constitute the basis of the narrative. The clash of the two brothers, although it is the pivot of the novel, its main conflict, is only an eventual expression of large social collisions. Different people enter the duel, social systems, worldviews, different views of the world collide.

Permyak is known as the creator of original, cutting-edge, journalistically active "little novels" ("Happy crash", "Grandmother's lace", "Solvinsky memorials"). They consist of no-vellistically short, often plot-based, whole chapters. This form allows you to widely embrace a large material of life, make excursions into the distant past, trace the fate of people associated with it, quickly change the scene, develop the narrative dynamically intensely and excitingly. Almost all of Permyak's little novels are written in a fantastic manner. None of them can do without an inserted fairy tale, firmly connected with the narrative and clarifying much in the ideological concept of the entire work. The fairy tale "About Zhaleva Pravda", organically included in the plot fabric of "Solvinsky Memories", fabulous images and characteristics determine the genre originality of the best little novels of Evgeny Permyak - "The Kingdom of Quiet Lutoni", "The Charm of Darkness".

Permyak has always considered himself a Perm by origin, Ural. Many of his novels are written in the Urals material. Permyak's historical and revolutionary novel "The Humpbacked Bear" was written on Ural material, revealing the complex life contradictions on the eve of October. The ideological basis of the novel is the problem of personality formation. Permyak deploys a gallery of living human images and characters, some of which contribute to the crystallization of good feelings in the soul of the protagonist, others, on the contrary, severely hurt with injustice and evil. Soon, on its basis, the story "Mavrik's Childhood" arose. This is a story about the life of a boy in the Urals factory village before the revolution. Mavrik eagerly absorbs the impressions of the surrounding world, helps the children of workers, fights for justice. When a revolution comes, he, already a young man, accepts it without hesitation and gladly participates in the construction of a new life.

In 1970, Permyak's book "My Land" was published in Moscow, completely dedicated to the Urals - "a land of wonders and untold treasures." One of the chapters of the book tells about the Perm region.

Permyak is rightfully considered one of the creators of the modern literary tale. Permyak's books about professions and original fairy tales for children have certainly entered the golden fund of literature.

CHRONOS Notes

Back in 1992, the Votkinsk local historian Z.A. Vladimirova, according to the documents of the Central State Archives of the Udmurt Republic (TsGA UR), it was established that the place of birth of E.A. Permyak is - Votkinsk. The statement that the place of his birth is Perm should be considered erroneous. ( The text of the note was prepared by Tatiana Sannikova).
