ПОЛИНА ВИАРДО: ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНО БЕЗОБРАЗНА. А СВЕЛА С УМА ВЕЛИКОГО ПИСАТЕЛЯ.

PAULINE VIARDOT: MAGNIFICENTLY UGLY. BUT SHE DRIVED A GREAT WRITER CRAZY.    • ПОЛИНА ВИАРДО: ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНО БЕЗОБРАЗНА. А С...   Ivan Turgenev and Pauline Viardot. Their romance lasted 40 years, with ups and downs, and separations of several years each. To this day, these feelings remain one of the great writer's greatest mysteries. "From the very moment I saw her for the first time—from that fateful moment I belonged entirely to her, as a dog belongs to its master"... This was written by a handsome man almost 2 meters tall, intelligent, educated, wealthy, and, what's more, a famous writer. Many women dreamed of walking him down the aisle. But he chose a visiting foreigner, who was married and not at all beautiful. "It was impossible to look at her face full-face," claimed the artist Ilya Repin. The poet Heinrich Heine compared her to a landscape, simultaneously monstrous and exotic. "Soot and bones!" sneered some. Someone called Polina "cruelly ugly," while another declared, "Magnificently ugly!" What was it about Polina Viardot that so attracted Turgenev? Is it true that she served as cover for Turgenev the spy? Why did the writer's relationship with his only daughter fail? To whom did Turgenev bequeath his fortune?
