Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) is best known for his great
achievments in poetry, but the fixtion he wrote in the last decade
of his life was to have a tremendous impact on the subsequent
development of Russian prose, influencing such later writers as
Gogol, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy. This is a new translation of all
his prose fiction, from his famous story "The Queen of Spades" down
to unfinished stories and fragments that appear in English for the
first time. Pushkin's non-fictional A History of Pugachev, also
translated into English for the first time, is included because it
furnished the historical background of his novel The Captain's
Daughter. The translator has taken care to achieve a balance
between faithfulness to the original and readability in English,
and several Russian editions have been collated to establish an
accurate text. The translations are annotated to place each work in
its historical context, and to eluvidate passages not easily
understandable to today's reader. Appendixes present a chapter that
Pushkin deleted from The Captain's Daughter; fictional fragments;
Pushkin's outlines of projected works; and the apocryphal novella
The Lonely Cottage on Vasilev Island.
