About the Author:
As with all Pushkin books it is a thing of beauty, and its contents are worth turning to again and again --Nick Lezard, Guardian
Charming ... an ideal introduction to the man widely regarded as the greatest Russian writer ... Poetry is notoriously hard to translate, but Anthony Briggs's skilful rendering of colloquial speech is faithful to the spirit of the Russian text -- Phoebe Taplin, Russia Now
Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin ranks as one of Russia’s greatest writers. Born in 1799, he published his first poem when he was a teenager, and attained fame in 1820 with his first long poem, Ruslan and Lyudmila. In the late 1820s he found himself the target of government censors, unable to travel or publish at will; during this time, he wrote his most famous play, Boris Godunov, and Eugene Onegin (published 1825–1832). The Queen of Spades, his most famous prose work, was published in 1834; his best known poem, "The Bronze Horseman", appeared after his death (from a wound sustained in a duel) in 1837.
