Tanar, nonconformist si cu un urias talent artistic, Puskin a scris o literatura ce refuza sa se invecheasca, mereu proaspata pentru fiecare generaþie de cititori. Alaturi de Evgheni Oneghin, Fata capitanului si alte cateva scrieri de mare intindere, el a creat si mici bijuterii prozastice, reunite in antologia Dama de pica si alte proze.

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.

Dacă ai nevoie de o poveste scurtă, care te ține în suspans și un final comic (din punctul meu de vedere), atunci îți recomand “Dama de pică”.

The story is short but keeps you connected and interested at all times. Its about human caracter not at its best behaviour. Just loved it!

I liked it. Didn't enjoy/expect the supernatural element at the end, because it was all realisticly inscripted.
