Product Description

Product Description

Russias greatest poet Puskin led a short but turbulent life. His poetry tacklesthe great themes of the human condition: Love and sex nature and art the individual and social.


About the Author

Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin, b. June 6 (N.S.), 1799, d. Feb. 10 (N.S.), 1837, was Russia's greatest poet. His use of the vernacular as the language of poetry freed Russian writing from the constraints of tradition and set new literary standards for novelists and poets, and his preference for subjects from history and folklore brought fresh vitality to Russian literature. Anthony Briggs, Professor of Russian at Birmingham University, Senior Research Fellow at Bristol University, is a well-known writer and broadcaster on Russian cultural affairs and European poetry. His recent translation of War and Peace was critically acclaimed. Among his many publications are six editions in the Everyman's Poetry series.

2.0 out of 5 stars Prose Is Preferable, 10 Jun 2004
By A Customer
The translations in this collection make a valiant effort to focus on rhyme; however, this is at the expense of a significant chunk of the original meaning of Pushkin's text. Pushkin's poems, in the opinion of many, work better using heavily annotated prose form, and the lack of comprehensive notes in this particular edition leaves the reader without sufficient knowledge to seek the true depth of Pushkin's prolific talent.
This collection serves as a useful introduction to English readers of Pushkin; it might, however, serve to discourage many of the less inquisitive.
