Description
Alexander Pushkin's Selected Poetry brings together two sides of his remarkable work: great narrative and lyric verse. This new translation, described as "truly wonderful," presents some of Pushkin's most celebrated poems alongside lesser-known gems. The result is a dazzling showcase of Russia's greatest poet's range and achievement. The collection includes the famous narrative poem, The Bronze Horseman, which tells the story of Peter the Great and the great flood of 1824. It also features shorter verses that explore traditional Russian stories of enchanted tsars and magical fish. These poems demonstrate Pushkin's mastery of both lyric poetry and narrative verse. This new translation is accompanied by an introduction to help readers appreciate the full range of Pushkin's work.
