Eugene Onegin
Alexander Pushkin, 1833
A young man is bored at exactly the moment a curious girl begins to fall in love with him. Pushkin's verse novel is about how boredom shapes verses, a response, and a life.
Alexander Pushkin
1799–1837
Pushkin published Eugene Onegin in serial chapters over seven years, and the last chapter he bundled in a dedication to a friend - the first print run sold out slowly; he was better known as the author of a crop of biting, cynical epigrams, which got him thrown out of the capital.
Some children are never quite at home inside their own family.
And so Tattiana was her name,Nor by her sister’s brilliancyNor by her beauty she becameThe cynosure of every eye.Shy, silent did the maid appearAs in the timid forest deer,Even beneath her parents’ roofStood as estranged from all aloof,Nearest and dearest knew not howTo fawn upon and love express;A child devoid of childishnessTo romp and play she ne’er would go:Oft staring through the window paneWould she in silence long remain.
