La Fille du capitaine: suivi de "Pouchkine et Pougatchov" de Marina Tsvetaïeva

Rate this book
Pour détourner la censure du tsar, Pouchkine revient sur une révolte paysanne de la fin du xviiie siècle et écrit un chef-d’œuvre de la littérature russe – à la fois roman d’apprentissage, roman d'aventures, roman historique, poème allégorique et dénonciation du pouvoir. Le texte que Marina Tsvetaïeva lui consacrera, et qui vient compléter cette édition, est un hymne au triomphe de la poésie sur l'histoire événementielle. André Markowicz poursuit son entreprise de retraduction de l'œuvre de Pouchkine, ici avec la collaboration de Françoise Morvan avec laquelle il a traduit tout le théâtre de Tchekhov.

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.

Loin d'être aussi ambitieux que son Eugène Onéguine, ce petit roman dépeint une partie de l'histoire russe du XVIIIe siècle au cours de laquelle certains hommes se faisaient passer pour souverains légitimes, engageant alors des actes de révolte, dans le but de prendre le contrôle du pays. La narration est plutôt bonne, et on comprend l'intention de Pouchkine de s'ancrer fortement dans l'histoire de son temps, on sent aussi qu'il a fait des recherches à ce sujet et que ces histoires de prises de pouvoir l'ont particulièrement intéressé, les différentes révolutions ayant eu lieux à l'époque de Pouchkine y étant peut-être pour quelque chose. En fin de compte, l'histoire n'est pas si prenante, je n'ai pas été absorbé, cela n'a pas été une lecture pénible, mais elle n'est pas mémorable.

Au départ hyper chelou que ça soit le roman russe originel mais le commentaire de Tsvetaïeva qui suit apporte tout le sens au livre.
