Works of Russian writer Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin include the verse novel Eugene Onegin (1831), the play Boris Godunov (1831), and many narrative and lyrical poems and short stories.
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.
Moral-teaching tale. you have to read it in primary classes, cause if you read it after, it won't be interesting at all. "Как ты смеешь спорить со мною, со мною дворянкой столбовою" This is the text I remember from it. In the 3rd grade, when I started learning Russian at school, we had a play. I was that old "lady".
This is a book for children and a story for adults. The morale is not about wrong decisions or selfish people. This is Pushkin, do you think he would spend time on such topics? Of course not. This is about love. True love. It is easy to love a young, beautiful and smart girl, however, it is hard to love the same person after a couple of decades, when she is old, not as sexy, nervous and selfish.
My last challenge for the Modern Mrs. Darcy Challenge. Three days to read 16 pages (I have four days, but one for emergencies). Doesn't sound much, but the tale is Russian. I can read it, but slowly. I have to look up a lot of words. The tale is famous, of course: the husband of a poor, poor couple finds a golden fish and throws it back into the sea: he does not need anything. His wife thinks otherwise and sends him back to the see. We all know what happens next. If you do not: go to the library and search for the tale.
The fisherman should have either asked for a new wife, or, alternatively he should've asked to be promoted with her. I'm surprised the fish tolerated him as long as it did. I felt a little bad for Dodon, but I guess we're supposed to think he deserved this end because he used to fight his neighbors in his youth. And also because he didn't keep his promise to the astrologist. I need to think more about it.
