In the course of his short, dramatic life, Aleksandr Pushkin gave
Russia not only its greatest poetry-including the novel-in-verse
Eugene Onegin-but a new literary language. He also gave it a figure
of enduring romantic allure-fiery, restless, extravagant, a
prodigal gambler and inveterate seducer of women. Having forged a
dazzling, controversial career that cost him the enmity of one tsar
and won him the patronage of another, he died at the age of
thirty-eight, following a duel with a French officer who was paying
unscrupulous attention to his wife.
In his magnificent, prizewinning Pushkin," "T. J. Binyon lifts the
veil of the iconic poet's myth to reveal the complexity and pathos
of his life while brilliantly evoking Russia in all its
nineteenth-century splendor. Combining exemplary scholarship with
the pace and detail of a great novel, Pushkin elevates biography to
a work of art.
