Eugene Onegin and Other Poems: and Other Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets Series)

Eugene Onegin (1833) is a comedy of manners, written in exquisitely crafted verse, about two young members of the Russian gentry, the eponymous hero and the girl Tatyana, who donâ€™t quite connect. It is also the greatest masterpiece of Russian literatureâ€”the source of the human archetypes and the attitudes that define and govern the towering fictional creations of nineteenth-century Russiaâ€”and one of the most celebrated poems of the world. Before Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) wrote Eugene Onegin, his nationâ€™s literature was a parochial one; after he wrote it, due in no small part to its power and influence, the Russian tradition became one of the central traditions of Western civilization.
