Dmitrii Vasil'evich Grigorovich

Japanese: グリゴロービチ（英語表記）Dmitrii Vasil’evich Grigorovich

1822‐99
Russian author. Influenced by European "peasant novels" such as those by Balzac and George Sand, he wrote the first Russian peasant novels, "The Village" (1846) and "Unfortunate Anton" (1847). His method of portraying peasants (narods) as protagonists with sympathy had a great influence on Turgenev, and these two works made him the most important writer of the new literary school, the "naturalist" school, represented by Gogol. A graduate of the Polytechnic School, he introduced his junior student Dostoevsky to the literary world, but 40 years later he made a major contribution to the history of Russian literature by discovering Chekhov.

Yurii Nikolaevich Grigorovich

1927‐
Russian dance director. Graduated from the Leningrad Choreographic School in 1946, he was a soloist at the Kirov Theater, but also showed enthusiasm for choreography and direction, and his extraordinary talent was recognized with his direction of Prokofiev's The Stone Flower (1957) and AD Melikov's The Legend of Love (1961). After these works were performed at the Bolshoi Theater, he became the theater's principal ballet master in 1964, and first began to work on new stagings of classics, revising Tchaikovsky's three great ballets to fit modern logic, thinking, and sensibilities.

1822‐99
ロシアの作家。バルザックやジョルジュ･サンドなどヨーロッパの〈農民小説〉の影響のもとに，ロシア最初の農民小説《村》(1846)，《不幸なアントン》(1847)を書く。農民(ナロード)を主人公とし，それを共感をもって描くという手法は，ツルゲーネフに大きな影響を与えたが，彼はこの2作により，ゴーゴリによって代表される文学上の新流派〈自然派〉の最も重要な作家とみなされた。工科学校出身だった彼は，学校の後輩ドストエフスキーを文壇に出したが，その40年後チェーホフを発見するという大きな貢献をロシア文学史に対して果たした。
