Dmitri V. Grigorovich (1822-1900) was a Russian writer.
Late in 1846, his novel The Village was published in the Otechestvennye Zapiski magazine, which immediately granted him a literary name, and in 1847, his famous Anton Goremyka (Luckless Anton) was published by Sovremennik. These novels made Grigorovich the founder of the narodnik movement of the nobility in literature.
In the mid-1880s, Grigorovich wrote novels The Gutta-Percha Boy, Acrobats of Charity, and Reminiscences.
It was D. Grigorovich who became the first nobleman writer to describe the life of ordinary people in his works. Telling the readers about the peasants’ everyday life, he managed to render all their earthy problems and difficulties with comprehensive faithfulness.
The commemorative stamp provides a portrait of D. Grigorovich; the main image features the author’s books.
