Beschreibung

Selected works from one of Russia's greatest writers, including "The Queen of Spades", "The Stationmaster" and a selection of Pushkin's best poetic work In a fabulous translation by Anthony Briggs, The Queen of Spades and Selected Works offers the most comprehensive overview of Pushkin's mastery of the written word. This stunning volume contains a diverse range of Pushkin's literary works, including "The Queen of Spades", the most celebrated short story in Russian literature which served as inspiration for Tchaikovsky's eponymous opera.

In "The Stationmaster", Pushkin reimagines the parable of the Prodigal Son;
"Tsar Nikita and His Forty Daughters" showcases some of his more provocative early poetry;
and the narrative poem "The Bronze Horseman", inspired by a statue of Peter the Great, is one of Pushkin's most celebrated works.

Alongside this is a selection of Pushkin's best lyric poetry, extracts of his best plays and an excerpt from his classic novel in verse, Yevgeny Onegin.

Über den Autor

Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin ranks as one of Russia's greatest writers. Born in 1799, he published his first poem when he was a teenager, and attained fame in 1820 with his first long poem, Ruslan and Lyudmila. In the late 1820s he found himself the target of government censors, unable to travel or publish at will; during this time, he wrote his most famous play, Boris Godunov, and Eugene Onegin (published 1825-1832). The Queen of Spades, his most famous prose work, was published in 1834; his best known poem, "The Bronze Horseman", appeared after his death (from a wound sustained in a duel) in 1837.
