Nikolay Stepanovich Gumilyov (; April 15 NS 1886 – August 25, 1921) was an influential Russian poet, literary critic, traveler, and military officer. He was the co founder of the Acmeist movement and one of the most notable Russian poets of the 20th century. Nikolay Gumilev was arrested and executed by the Cheka, the secret Soviet police force in 1921. ==Early life and poems== Nikolay was born in the town of Kronstadt on Kotlin Island, into the family of Stepan Yakovlevich Gumilyov (1836–1920), a naval physician, and Anna Ivanovna L'vova (1854–1942). His childhood nickname was "Montigomo," the Hawk's Claw.〔"Gumilyov's Magic Wand". Mikhail Sinelnikov. ''Moscow News'' (Russia). CULTURE; No. 15. April 18, 1996.〕 He studied at the gymnasium of Tsarskoe Selo, where the Symbolist poet Innokenty Annensky was his teacher. Later, Gumilyov admitted that it was Annensky's influence that turned his mind to writing poetry. His first publication were verses ''I ran from cities into the forest'' () on September 8, 1902. In 1905 he published his first book of lyrics entitled ''The Way of Conquistadors''. It comprised poems on most exotic subjects imaginable, from Lake Chad giraffes to Caracalla's crocodiles. Although Gumilyov was proud of the book, most critics found his technique sloppy; later he would refer to that collection as ''apprentice's work''. From 1907 and on, Nikolai Gumilyov traveled extensively in Europe, notably in Italy and France. In 1908 his new collection ''Romantic Flowers'' appeared. While in Paris, he published the literary magazine ''Sirius'', but only three issues were produced. On returning to Russia, he edited and contributed to the artistic periodical ''Apollon''. At that period, he fell in love with a non-existent woman Cherubina de Gabriak. It turned out that Cherubina de Gabriak was the literary pseudonym for two people, a disabled schoolteacher and Maximilian Voloshin, and on November 22, 1909 he had a duel with Voloshin over the affair. Gumilev married Anna Akhmatova in April 25, 1910. He dedicated some of his poems to her.〔 Poem by Gumilyov about Akhmatova, music and performance by Larisa Novoseltseva〕 On September 18, 1912, their child Lev was born. He would eventually become an influential and controversial historian. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nikolay Gumilyov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
