Ответ:

Samuel Yakovlevich Marshak (1887-1964) was a famous Soviet poet, translator, and playwright. He is known as the author of fairy tales for children, satirical works, as well as "adult", serious lyrics.

Samuel Marshak was born on October 22 (November 3), 1887 in Voronezh in a Jewish family. The surname of the family "Marshak" comes from the famous Rabbi Aaron Kaidanover and in short means "our teacher".

Marshak received his first education at a gymnasium near Voronezh. The literature teacher noticed his talent among other children in the class, considered him the most gifted.

Marshak's first poems were written back in his school years. The famous critic Vladimir Stasov, after reading one of Samuel's poetry notebooks, helped him enter the gymnasium in St. Petersburg.

After meeting Maxim Gorky in 1904, Marshak lived in Yalta at Gorky's dacha from 1904 to 1906. In 1907, the first works in Marshak's biography were published (a collection on Jewish subjects "The Zionists"). In 1911, the writer traveled to the Middle East as a newspaper correspondent. He visits Greece, Turkey, Palestine and Syria. Impressed by the trip, Marshak writes one of his most successful poems of that period. On the journey, he meets his future wife Sophia. After the wedding in 1912, the couple left for England.

The next step in education was studying at the University of London. While living in England, Marshak began translating sonnets by W. Shakespeare, poems by W. Blake, R. Kipling, J. Austin, ballads and songs by R. Burns into Russian. The translations he made became classics, and Marshak himself received the honorary title of a citizen of Scotland.

He returned to Russia in 1914, and in 1920 organized several theaters for children in Krasnodar. During his biography, Samuel Marshak composed many works for children. For example, the fairy tales "Twelve Months", "The House that Jack built". Along with children's poems, Marshak wrote works on serious issues (for example, "Selected lyrics", "Lyrical epigrams").

The writer has received several prizes, awards, and orders for his work, including the Lenin and Stalin Prizes.

Samuel Marshak died on July 4, 1964 in Moscow. Samuel Yakovlevich Marshak's books have been translated into many languages. Streets are named after the writer and memorial plaques are installed in many cities: in his native Voronezh, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yalta and others.

Перевод

Самуил Яковлевич Маршак (1887-1964) - известный советский поэт, переводчик и драматург. Он известен как автор сказок для детей, сатирических произведений, а также "взрослой", серьезной лирики.

Самуил Маршак родился 22 октября (3 ноября) 1887 года в Воронеже в еврейской семье. Фамилия семьи "Маршак" происходит от имени известного раввина Аарона Кайдановера и вкратце означает "наш учитель".

Свое первое образование Маршак получил в гимназии под Воронежем. Учитель литературы заметил его талант среди других детей в классе, посчитал его самым одаренным.

Первые стихи Маршак написал еще в школьные годы. Известный критик Владимир Стасов, прочитав одну из поэтических тетрадей Самуила, помог ему поступить в гимназию в Санкт-Петербурге.

После знакомства с Максимом Горьким в 1904 году Маршак с 1904 по 1906 год жил в Ялте на даче Горького. В 1907 году были опубликованы первые произведения в биографии Маршака (сборник на еврейскую тематику "Сионисты"). В 1911 году писатель отправился на Ближний Восток в качестве корреспондента газеты. Он посещает Грецию, Турцию, Палестину и Сирию. Под впечатлением от поездки Маршак пишет одно из своих самых удачных стихотворений того периода. В путешествии он знакомится со своей будущей женой Софией. После свадьбы в 1912 году молодожены уехали в Англию.

Следующим шагом в образовании стала учеба в Лондонском университете. Живя в Англии, Маршак начал переводить на русский язык сонеты У. Шекспира, стихи У. Блейка, Р. Киплинга, Дж. Остина, баллады и песни Р. Бернса. Сделанные им переводы стали классикой, а сам Маршак получил почетное звание гражданина Шотландии. Он вернулся в Россию в 1914 году, а в 1920 году организовал несколько театров для детей в Краснодаре. За время своей биографии Самуил Маршак написал множество произведений для детей. Например, сказки "Двенадцать месяцев", "Дом, который построил Джек". Наряду с детскими стихами Маршак писал произведения на серьезные темы (например, "Избранная лирика", "Лирические эпиграммы"). За свое творчество писатель удостоен нескольких премий, призов и орденов, в том числе Ленинской и Сталинской премий.

Самуил Яковлевич Маршак скончался 4 июля 1964 года в Москве. Книги Самуила Яковлевича Маршака переведены на многие языки. Именем писателя названы улицы и установлены мемориальные доски во многих городах: в его родном Воронеже, Москве, Санкт-Петербурге, Ялте и других.
