When Vladimir Nabokov's translation of Pushkin's masterpiece Eugene
Onegin was first published in 1964, it ignited a storm of
controversy that famously resulted in the demise of Nabokov's
friendship with critic Edmund Wilson. While Wilson derided it as a
disappointment in the New York Review of Books, other critics
hailed the translation and accompanying commentary as Nabokov's
highest achievement. Nabokov himself strove to render a literal
translation that captured "the exact contextual meaning of the
original," arguing that, "only this is true translation." Nabokov's
Eugene Onegin remains the most famous and frequently cited
English-language version of the most celebrated poem in Russian
literature, a translation that reflects a lifelong admiration of
Pushkin on the part of one of the twentieth century's most
brilliant writers. Now with a new foreword by Nabokov biographer
Brian Boyd, this edition brings a classic work of enduring literary
interest to a new generation of readers.
