A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

New translation of one of the founding texts of modern Russian literature and one of the most popular Russian classics. Dual text and extensive apparatus. Ideal for adoptions. When the Romantic and world-weary dandy Eugene Onegin moves from St Petersburg to take up residence in the country estate he has inherited, he strikes up an unlikely friendship with his mild-mannered neighbour, the poet Vladimir Lensky. Coldly rejecting the amorous advances of Tatyana and cynically courting her sister Olga - Lensky's fiancee - Onegin finds himself dragged into a tragedy of his own doing. Addressing fundamental themes such as the conflicts between art, reality social convention, "Eugene Onegin" was the founding text of modern Russian literature, marking a clean break from the high-flown classical style of its predecessors and introducing the quintessentially Russian hero and heroine, which would remain the archetypes for subsequent novelists throughout the nineteenth century.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) was a dramatist and poet, penning such influential works as Eugene Onegin and Boris Godunov and now considered the father of modern Russian literature.
