Articoli correlati a Tales of Belkin and Other Prose Writings
Alexander Pushkin was Russia's first true literary genius. Best known for his poetry, he also wrote sparkling prose that revealed his national culture with elegance and understated humour. Here, his gift for portraying the Russian people is fully revealed. The Tales of Belkin, his first prose masterpiece, presents a series of interlinked stories narrated by a good-hearted Russian squire - among them 'The Shot', in which a duel is revisited after many years, and the grotesque 'The Undertaker'. Elsewhere, works such as the novel-fragment Roslavlev and the Egyptian Nights, the tale of an Italian balladeer seeking an audience in St. Petersberg, demonstrate the wide range of Pushkin's fiction. A Journey to Arzrum, the final piece in this collection, offers an autobiographical account of Pushkin's own experiences in the 1829 war between Russia and Turkey, and remains one of the greatest of all pieces of journalistic adventure writing.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. He was the writer, according to Dostoyevsky, who 'showed us a whole gallery of genuinely beautiful Russian characters which he discovered in the Russian people.' Pushkin would go in the autumn to write at his family's house in the country at Boldino, and there he produced his first prose masterpiece, the Tales of Belkin. These stories are wonderful in their purity of form, their humour and understatement. Alongside the Tales, this volume also contains a selection of his other writings, including the novel fragment Roslavlev, the Egyptian Nights, and Pushkin's autobiographical Journey to Arzrum. Alexander Pushkin was Russia's first genius in poetry and prose, who, according to Dostoyevsky, "showed us a whole gallery of genuinely beautiful Russian characters which he discovered in the Russian people" After completing his epic poem Eugene Onegin, Pushkin retired to his family's house in the country at Boldino in 1830, where he produced his first prose masterpiece, Tales of Belkin. These stories are wonderful in their purity of form, humor, and understatement. This collection also contains a selection of his other writings, including the novel fragment "Roslavlev", "Egyptian Nights", and Pushkin's autobiographical "Journey to Arzrum" Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
