Eugene Onegin

di Alexander Pushkin (Autore)

Waking Lion Press, 2026

Eugene Onegin is bored: bored of the city, of parties, and of the superficial St. Petersburg social scene. So when a newly deceased uncle leaves him his country mansion, he jumps at the chance to play the rural lord. There he meets his new neighbours Lenski, a young poet and stark contrast to Onegin's affected nonchalance, and Tattiana, a dreamy but introverted romantic, and triggers a set of events with tragic consequences. Serialized over the course of seven years starting in 1825, Pushkin's novel in verse was and is a huge influence on Russian literature. Its unusual verse structure combined with Pushkin's own commentary on the social canvas of the time has meant that it has remained relevant and read to this day. Eugene Onegin has been translated into many different languages, and into many different formats including successful operas and films. Perfect for readers who love sweeping Russian literature and innovative narrative forms, this masterpiece combines the storytelling power of a great novel with the lyrical beauty of poetry. Pushkin's timeless exploration of love, honor, and social convention remains as compelling today as it was two centuries ago, making this essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of world literature.
