About this book
Eugene Onegin is the novel in verse that stands at the head of Russian literature, written by Alexander Pushkin between 1825 and 1832. Its hero is a bored young man of fashion who, out of pride and idleness, rejects the love of the sincere country girl Tatyana and kills his friend Lensky in a needless duel. Years later he meets Tatyana again, now a great lady, and the tables are turned. Told in the sparkling, tightly rhymed stanza that now bears Pushkin's name, the poem paints a whole picture of Russian society while telling a story of love missed and regretted. This free PDF and EPUB presents Henry Spalding's complete English verse translation.
