Little Tragedies

The captivating plot, the ease of the poetic language, and the depth of reflection allow Pushkin's works to remain relevant and interesting at all times. As M. Mikhailova noted in her introductory article, «Pushkin tells his best stories, infinitely interesting... and dear to him, filling him with fear and joy». The collection includes a cycle of little tragedies, unfinished dramatic works «The Rusalka» and «Scenes from Knightly Times», as well as famous poems, including «Poltava» and «The Bronze Horseman». In the simultaneously tender and vivid illustrations by the artist Alexei Dmitrievich Reipolsky, romantic passions rage, cunning intrigues are woven, and brave heroes with burning eyes fight for the honor and love of their beautiful ladies.
