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.

С другой стороны, как быть грустной, читая Пушкина, тоже неясно

[Becca Harris · Rating 3 out of 5]

Did I read this very tiny book just to complete my 2020 reading challenge? 🤭 Maybe. I have a goal of reading more Russian (translated to English, obvs... Giving your child a Russian name does not in fact magically give one the ability to read Russian, unfortunately) in 2021. I have amassed a small library of Russian classics and lesser known works by Russian authors, but I've been very intimidated by the genre. So I dipped my toes into this short story and it was a nice intro for next year's challenge. Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Almedingen, and Pushkin, I'm coming at ya as a millennial Texas housewife fixin to educate herself on Russian lit. 💪🤷‍♀️

Просто прелесть✨

Очень душевная
и весёлая книга, интересные персонажи. Автор явно любит своих героев, но иронизирует над ними. Советую.

'The reader will spare me the unnecessary obligation of describing the dénouement.'
There is nothing more upsetting than reading those lines, knowing that some of the most satisfying parts of the story just aren't there, but still, 'An Amateur Peasant Girl' is an enjoyable and quick read!
This short story can be a good option for those of you, who are either trying to get into Russian classics or want to get a taste of it without any commitment.

Повеселив «Гробовщиком» и расстроив «Станционным смотрителем», Пушкин ещё раз решил позабавить читателя, на этот раз рассказав историю «Барышни-крестьянки», лукавой девушки, не знавшей, к чему приведут её незатейливые шалости. Всё началось с того, что она решила предстать перед симпатичным барином-соседом в виде простушки, а закончилось неизменно должным произойти радужным событием. Но не стоит торопиться, ведь Пушкин умеет разрушать страсти действующих лиц, ставя их перед осознанием действительного положения дел.

This was fun and I like how there were digs at certain types of stories and readers. Even when I fall into those categories, I find it fun.

This had some ridiculous elements that were very entertaining.

Lovely. I read it outside under the sun.

This felt a lot like a fairy tale. It was very sweet. However, the language was more precise than flowery.

Best last paragraph one can write

[Дарина]

Она думала…но можно ли с точностию определить, о чем думает семнадцатилетняя барышня, одна, в роще, в шестом часу весеннего утра?

[Timofey · Rating 5 out of 5]

В своём формате это идеальное произведение.

[Anastasia · Rating 2 out of 5]

Замечательная трогательная романтическая история, легкая и веселая.
Очень интересно было следить за тем, как развиваются чувства между нашими героями, и хотя в самой повести сюжет передан очень чётко и динамично. Единственное чувство, которое не покидало меня сразу же после прочтения «Барышни-крестьянки» - так это некоторое разочарование из-за того, что Александр Сергеевич не развил эту очень интересную и оригинальную историю, которая по его словам имела место в действительности, - в настоящий роман.
