Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin

"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.

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.

Pushkin was the first Russian writer of European stature, and he is among the very few artists - such as Homer and Shakespeare - to have shaped the consciousness and history of an entire nation and its language, thereby affecting the world at large. Eugene Onegin is not merely the greatest poem in the Russian language by its most influential poet: it is a global culture, social and political icon of the highest order. The historical power of this work - a novel in verse - is made all the more extraordinary by the simplicity of its subject. Eugene Onegin is a story of disappointed love. Tatyana falls for the handsome Eugene to whom she daringly makes advances. He cooly rejects her, then flirts with her sister, Olga. When challenged by Olgas fiance, Lensky kills him in a duel, seemingly indifferrent to the grief he causes. (Ironically, Puskhin himself was to be killed in similar circumstances in 1937, some seven years after he completed the work). Onegin leaves the district. When he returns four years later, Tatyana has married another man and it is her turn to reject his advances. But it turns out that Onegins hauteur is affected: he has always loved her passionately. She loves him too and both reflect painfully on what might have been.

The Queen of Spades has long been acknowledged as one of the worlds greatest short stories. In this classic literary representation of gambling, Alexander Pushkin explores the nature of obsession. Hints of the occult and gothic alternate with scenes of St Petersburg high-society in the story of the passionate Hermanns quest to master chance and make his fortune at the card table. Underlying the taut plot is an ironical treatment of the romantic dreamer and social outcast.

Aleksander Sergueevich Pushkin (1799-1837) es uno de los literatos más ilustres que ha producido Rusia. Su mérito no consiste solamente en el ingenio, en la amenidad o en el arte con que combina las escenas y despierta el interes de los lectores, sino especialmente en la belleza del lenguaje, en la pureza del lexico y en la riqueza y variedad de las formas gramaticales. Pushkin fue quien dio al idioma ruso aquel pulimento que hizo de el una de las lenguas literarias mas bellas de Europa. Los relatos que aparecen reunidos en este libro La hidalga campesina, Azar en el juego y El desafio representan una magnifica muestra del arte literario de Pushkin y describen a la perfeccion las costumbres y los caracteres de la Rusia del siglo XIX.

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.
