La figlia del capitano
Accompagnato dal precettore, il giovane alfiere Pëtr Grinëv intraprende il viaggio per raggiungere la lontana guarnigione cui è stato destinato. Qui si innamora della timida Maša, figlia del capitano della fortezza, ma avrà poco tempo da dedicare alle gioie dell'amore. Sono infatti i giorni della sanguinosa rivolta cosacca del ribelle Pugacëv... Pervaso da un realismo sottilmente ironico e da un acuto interesse per la vicenda storica, ma a tratti dominato da un senso quasi fiabesco, La figlia del capitano (1836) supera il mito dell'eroe romantico così come le modalità del romanzo storico, e si rivela un'opera dal fascino sfuggente, impossibile da restringere nei canoni di una qualsiasi classificazione letteraria.

People consider this author the greatest poet and the founder of modern literature. Pushkin pioneered the use of vernacular speech in his poems, creating a style of storytelling—mixing drama, romance, and satire—associated ever with greatly influential later literature.
Pushkin published his first poem at the age of 15 years in 1814, and the literary establishment widely recognized him before the time of his graduation from the imperial lyceum in Tsarskoe Selo. Social reform gradually committed Pushkin, who emerged as a spokesman for literary radicals and in the early 1820s clashed with the government, which sent him into exile in southern Russia. Under the strict surveillance of government censors and unable to travel or publish at will, he wrote his most famous drama but ably published it not until years later. People published his verse serially from 1825 to 1832.
Pushkin and his wife Natalya Goncharova, whom he married in 1831, later became regulars of court society. In 1837, while falling into ever greater debt amidst rumors that his wife started conducting a scandalous affair, Pushkin challenged her alleged lover, Georges d'Anthès, to a duel. Pushkin was mortally wounded and died two days later.
Because of his liberal political views and influence on generations of Russian rebels, Pushkin was portrayed by Bolsheviks as an opponent to bourgeois literature and culture and a predecessor of Soviet literature and poetry. Tsarskoe Selo was renamed after him.

Lettura estremamente interessante.
Ultimo romanzo di Puskin. Una sorta di testamento letterario.
Cosa lascia?
Un revisionismo storico, un desiderio che il mondo vada verso un maggior rispetto dei vinti, un elogio alla verità e alla schiettezza.
E l'importanza dell'onore sopra a tutto.
Bellissimo.
