K. Ivanov (1890-1915) is the Chuvash national poet. People in Chuvashia are proud of him and on May 15 widely celebrate the anniversary of his birthday. The Chuvash Republic treats the poet as the true national hero.
His poetry is consonant to people's aspiration. It is closely connected with their thoughts and dreams about freedom. His poetry called to light. K. Ivanov considered his literary work as his patriotic duty to restore the Chuvashes to new life.
He was born in the village of Slakbash in Bashkiria. His grandfather and father were literate people, so they tried to give education to all their children. At 8 Kostya was sent to the village primary school and 3 years later his aunt, a teacher, took him to her school. Kostya prepared for his entrance exams to the Simbirsk Chuvash Teachers' school and soon passed them successfully.
He read a lot of books of Russian writers, was keen on carving, painting and photography. All his further life was connected with the Simbirsk Chuvash Teachers' school. But in 1907 he had to interrupt his studies at school and return to his native village. Then he helped I. Yakovlev translate books into Chuvash and wrote some verses, e.g. Old Forest Thought, Autumn, The Hungry, some ballades, e.g. Two daughters, A Widow. He wrote the poem Narspi, in which he created a number of national characters such as Narspi and Setner.
We admire their tragic love, their sincere feelings to each other. The author sympathized with them; he penetrates deeply into heroes' souls and reveals their best qualities. He is a true humanist and realist, we believe him. In 1908 Ivanov published his first poems. At 19 he passed his exams and became a teacher of folk school.
In 1910 he began to work as a teacher of calligraphy and drawing in Simbirsk Two-Year Women College. At that time he collected popular folk songs, painted a lot and prepared for the entrance exams to the Academy of Arts. Buthis dreams didn't come true. He died on March 13, 1915, at the age of 25 from tuberculosis.
There is no person in Chuvashia, who doesn't know the greatest poem by Konstantin Ivanov, entitled Narspi.
Narspi is a name of the main character of the poem. She is very kind, smart, and beautiful; everybody in her village loves her.
Narspi was a daughter of a rich Chuvash peasant Mikheder. The father loved her, took care about her while she was a little girl. But when she grew up he "sold" her to another rich man, to Takhtaman.
But Narspi, whose heart belonged to a courageous, but poor young man Setner, didn't obey her hard fate; her soul arose against the terrible world, where the evil, money and wealth ruled. However in the unequal fight the girl and her beloved man died.
The tragic end of the strong and pure love of Narspi and Setner in the unequal fight with the dark forces points and stresses the deep humanistic idea of the author, and sounds like an appeal against dark and appeal for light.
