Alexander Pushkin - Eugene Onegin & Other Works (7 books)

ALEXANDER PUSHKIN (1799-1837) was a Russian poet, novelist and playwright of the Romantic era who is considered by many to be the founder of modern Russian literature.

This collections includes two translations of Pushkin's novel in verse, EUGENE ONEGIN (1825-1832), by Stanley Mitchell and Vladimir Nabokov (the latter edition appends two volumes of detailed commentary). Several dramatic works are also included: his most famous historical play, BORIS GODUNOV (1831); the fragmentary SCENE FROM FAUST (1825); the four experimental LITTLE TRAGEDIES (1830), which confront greed, envy, lust, and blasphemy (in two translations); and RUSALKA, a lyric fairy-tale of despair and transformation.
