Description

Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin

A novel in verse, Pushkin’s sparkling story of love and tragedy, translated by James E. Falen. Onegin, a dashing, cynical and bored nobleman who has taken over his uncle’s estate in the country, spurns the love of the shy, bookish Tatyana Larina. But as Eugene’s life unravels and Tatyana’s blossoms, their roles are transformed. Eugene Onegin moves effortlessly between feeling and frivolity, delicious comedy and desperate sadness.The story’s rich emotional range is perfectly conveyed through Pushkin’s much-imitated 14-line Onegin stanza. This is also a wonderful portrait of Imperial Russia, from ‘the crush, the glitter and the gladness’ of St Petersburg balls to the peace of the snow-bound countryside.
