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.

In this piece Pushkin brilliantly shows the ways "trends" in societies change (and how societies adapt to them, rapidly and drastically changing their beliefs). He also shows how women strive for action, knowledge and equality. Basically our time's reality but written 2 centuries ago:)

"Il n'est de bonheur que dans les voies communes." (Счастье можно найти лишь на проторенных дорогах (фр.) - Кажется, слова Шатобриана.)

"Пустота братниных писем происходила не от его собственного ничтожества, но от предрассудка, впрочем самого оскорбительного для нас: он полагал, что с женщинами дòлжно употреблять язык, приноровленный к слабости их понятий, и что важные предметы до нас не касаются. Таковое мнение везде было бы невежливо, но у нас оно и глупо. Нет сомнения, что русские женщины лучше образованны, более читают, более мыслят, нежели мужчины, занятые бог знает чем."

Otra novela inconclusa de Pushkin. Iba increíble la historia, pero como las narraciones anteriores, pareciera que de alguna forma si llega a un fin, un tanto exabrupto, pero que no deja hilos colgando.

Historia de Polina, una mujer un frívola, culta e inteligente. Se ve envuelta en un momento crucial de Rusia con la llegada de Bonaparte. Se hace presente el papel que desempeña la mujer Rusa en sociedad y las inclinaciones de la nobleza hacia la cultura de Francia, además del poco interés por la propia.
