Aleksandr Sergejevič Puškin Libros

La obra de ALEKSANDR PUSHKIN (1799-1837) -reconocido unánimemente como uno de los principales forjadores de la literatura moderna rusa- sirvió de crisol donde se fundieron la precisión de la lengua escrita con la fértil fantasía de la lengua hablada. En LA HIJA DEL CAPITÁN (1836), bajo la influencia de Walter Scott, Pushkin, con una sinceridad alejada de la exagerada afectación romántica, se sirve de un hecho histórico -la sublevación del caudillo cosaco Yemelián Pugachov- para explorar literariamente uno de los temas constantes en la historia de la sociedad rusa: el conflicto entre un sistema despótico e injusto y un pueblo sometido y humillado, proclive a utilizar la figura de falsos mesías para defender su honor y liberar su ira contra el poder opresor.

Set in 18th-century imperialist Russia, the novel follows Eugene Onegin, a disenchanted dandy who inherits a fortune and moves to the countryside. There, he befriends the idealistic poet Vladimir Lensky and meets Tatyana, who falls for him. Eugene's rejection of her love leads to regret and tragedy, highlighting themes of love, social ennui, and the consequences of choices. Celebrated as Alexander Pushkin's masterpiece, this verse novel combines lively narrative with deep emotional insights, making it a classic of Russian literature.

Beyond his perfect expression of Russian mood, Pushkin's universality of vision has made him a permanent place in the history of world literature. This translation contains his prose fiction, including some tales which remained unfinished when Pushkin was tragically killed in a duel at the age of thirty- seven.

One of the many aspects of Alexander Pushkin's immense contribution to Russian language and literature, and perhaps the one he is most popular for, is his mastery of the love poem, a genre which he perfected like few others before or after him. This volume contains a selection of his most famous and enduring verse explorations of love, such as 'I Loved You', 'Night' and 'I Well Recall a Wondrous Meeting', pieces which are crowning achievements of the European canon and still have the same timeless emotional resonance today.

The story follows a disenchanted St. Petersburg dandy who, after inheriting wealth and an estate, relocates to the countryside. There, he forms a friendship with his neighbor, leading to a deeper exploration of relationships and the emptiness of his previous lifestyle filled with superficial social engagements. This transition sets the stage for personal growth and the complexities of love and friendship.
