Table of ContentsReviews'An unusual selection of a surprisingly modern master's work... worth turning to again and again' - Guardian 'Exceptionally original, elegant and often subversively critical in his writings, Pushkin touched depths of feeling while cultivating an insouciant lightness' - Iain Bamforth 'Charming... an ideal introduction to the man widely regarded as the greatest Russian writer... Anthony Briggs's skilful rendering of colloquial speech is faithful to the spirit of the Russian text' - Russia Now Author InformationAlexander Pushkin (1799-1837) ranks as one of Russia's greatest writers. He published his first poem when he was fifteen, and in 1820 his first long poem-Ruslan and Lyudmila-made him famous. His work, including the short story The Queen of Spades, the novel-in-verse Yevgeny Onegin and the long poem The Bronze Horseman, has secured his place as one of the greatest writers ever to have lived. He died aged 37, having been wounded in a duel. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
