Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin

Pushkin, Tolstói y Chéjov despliegan su talento en estos tres relatos que narran y describen una tormenta de nieve, elemento idiosincrático del paisaje y del alma rusosDos jóvenes amantes ven su amor truncado por las vicisitudes de una noche de fuerte tormenta. Una caravana de coches de caballos no encuentra las marcas del camino en medio de una tormenta; en uno de los coches, va un viajero entumecido que relata, entre el sueño y la vigilia, los padecimientos de las inclemencias del tiempo. La vispera de Navidad, una tormenta obliga a un hombre y a una mujer a pasar la noche conversando frente a la estufa de una posada.Este volumen reune tres relatos de los grandes maestros de la literatura rusa: Pushkin, Tolstoi y Chejov. Todos ellos relatan la experiencia de una tormenta de nieve, tres tormentas que son son una y la misma, puesto que guardan un eco comun en el alma de los respectivos protagonistas. La tormenta es una metafora esplendida para asomarse a la intimidad rusa: la tormenta es la tormenta del alma rusa.

"Eugenio Oneguin", novela en verso, es una de las obras fundamentales de Pushkin y una de las novelas rusas más relevantes del siglo XIX. El personaje de Oneguin encierra una dualidad en la concepción del mundo. Aunque hostil al "gran mundo", esta a la vez inscrito e inmerso en el. Su individualismo tendente al escepticismo se convierte en la indiferencia de quien no tiene ningun objetivo ante la vida.

Borís Godunov es, sin duda, la más perfecta y brillante de las obras dramáticas de Pushkin, cuya publicación supuso el fin del clasicismo vigente y transformó radicalmente el teatro en Rusia. Concebida durante uno de sus repetidos destierros, Pushkin fue consciente de que seria rechaza y la guardo consigo hasta que finalmente vio la luz, censurada, en 1831. Como su autor esperaba, fue criticada e incomprendida, pero pronto el realismo de Boris Godunov alcanzo el reconocimiento que merecia hasta el punto de ser definida por Maximo Gorki como el mejor drama historico ruso o inspirar la gran opera de Mussorgski.Boris Godunov retrata con una belleza y profundidad inusitadas la sociedad medieval de la Rusia de finales del siglo xv y principios del xvi a traves de la figura del zar que le da nombre.

"La Reina de Picas" narra las desventuras de un joven oficial, en principio poco aficionado a los juegos de azar, pero que no tarda en obsesionarse con descubrir los pormenores de una misteriosa forma de apostar que ofrece una ganancia asegurada. En sus pesquisas se vera involucrado en la muerte de una anciana condesa. Atormentado por el sentimiento de culpa, sufre la visita del espiritu de la anciana... En palabras de Dostoievski, "La Reina de Picas" constituye la obra cumbre de la fantasia, y en efecto, Pushkin, padre de la literatura rusa, ensayo en este texto pionero muchas de las formas en las que autores posteriores rusos dialogarian con los generos literarios dentro de los canones de la literatura clasica.

Esta edición de las Narraciones completas, muchas de ellas inéditas en español, ofrece asimismo las claves del peculiar romanticismo pushkiniano, rápido, templado y estricto. Sus héroes y heroínas -nobles bandoleros, husares y cosacos, dandis de Petersburgo, princesas patriotas y señoritas novelescas- se ven envueltos en lances extraordinarios y graciles mascaradas, pero son observados por un narrador que, ademas de dominar con habilidad extrema los recursos de la trama, es capaz de verla al trasluz, de contemplar con humor tanto lo romantico como la decepcion de lo romantico. Y, como dice Amaya Lacasa en su Introduccion al volumen (que tan excelentemente ha traducido, con Clara Janes en los fragmentos en verso), toda la futura riqueza de la literatura rusa esta contenida en el como en un embrion.

Este «diario secreto» del último año de la vida de Pushkin (el texto más buscado en Rusia durante casi siglo y medio, y sacado clandestinamente de la extinta U.R.S.S.) constituye algo más que el test

In "Eugene Onegin," Alexander Pushkin masterfully weaves a narrative that marries the elegance of verse with the complexity of human emotion. This novel in verse, first published in the 1820s, is celebrated for its rich character development and intricate exploration of societal norms in 19th-century Russia. Through the life of the disillusioned aristocrat Eugene Onegin and his interactions with the passionate Tatyana, Pushkin delves into themes of unrequited love, friendship, and the ennui of the Russian gentry. The structure of the work, employing the unique Odessan stanza, showcases Pushkins innovative approach to poetry and storytelling, marking a pivotal contribution to the Russian literary canon and the development of the modern novel. Alexander Pushkin, often regarded as the father of Russian literature, was profoundly influenced by his life experiences, including his mixed heritage and the political turbulence of his time. These factors informed his perspectives on love, society, and the individuals place within it. His encounters with different social strata and his personal conflicts greatly influenced his creation of Eugene Onegin, encapsulating the contradictions of a society in transition. Readers are invited to immerse themselves in this quintessential work, which not only reflects the depth of human connection but also serves as a profound commentary on the complexities of Russian society. Pushkins nuanced portrayal of his characters makes "Eugene Onegin" a timeless exploration of unfulfilled desires and the intricacies of social interaction, rendering it essential reading for anyone interested in the interplay of romance and existential reflection.

When the world-weary dandy Eugene Onegin moves from St Petersburg to take up residence in the country estate he has inherited, he strikes up an unlikely friendship with his neighbour, the poet Vladimir Lensky. Coldly rejecting the amorous advances of Tatyana and cynically courting her sister Olga - Lensky's fiancee - Onegin finds himself dragged into a tragedy of his own making. Eugene Onegin - presented here in a sparkling translation by Roger Clarke, along with extensive notes and commentary - was the founding text of modern Russian literature, marking a clean break from the high-flown classical style of its predecessors and introducing the quintessentially Russian hero and heroine, which would remain the archetypes for novelists throughout the nineteenth century.
