'The Queen of Spades' is Pushkin's prose masterpiece, a gripping tale of avarice, obsession, madness and cards. This wonderful collection also includes the keenly and sympathetically observed story 'The Stationmaster'; the narrative poem 'The Bronze Horseman'; a selection of Pushkin's lyric poems; the ribald saga of 'Tsar Nikita and his Forty Daughters'; and excerpts from Yevgeny Onegin and Mozart and Salieri. It serves as an ideal introduction to the incomparable Pushkin, the headspring of all Russian literature. Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe. Translated by Anthony Briggs. Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) ranks as one of Russia's greatest writers. He published his first poem when he was fifteen, and in 1820 his first long poem-Ruslan and Lyudmila-made him famous. His work, including the short story 'The Queen of Spades', the novel-in-verse Yevgeny Onegin and the long poem 'The Bronze Horseman', has secured his place as one of the greatest writers ever to have lived. He died aged 37, having been wounded in a duel.Language: RussianCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmAuthor: Alexander PushkinTranslator: Anthony BriggsContributor: Anthony Briggs (Translated by)Genre: FictionTopic: Classic FictionBook Series: Pushkin Press ClassicsRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
