Eugene Onegin

The novel in verse «Eugene Onegin» can rightfully be considered an encyclopedia of Russian life — it reflects the everyday life and morals of the first third of the 20th century, and an encyclopedia of world culture — in it... A.S. Pushkin names more than two hundred names of Russian, ancient, and European writers, philosophers, generals, artists, actors, composers: from Apuleius to Rossini. But it is also an encyclopedia of feelings, in the apt definition of I. Andronikov. Pushkin poured part of his soul into Onegin, Lensky, and Tatiana, and in these heroes are reflected the character traits of the author himself. The fates of his beloved characters are intricately intertwined with his own, with its prophetic prediction.
This novel is a pearl of the poet's creativity, a story of beautiful and sad love. A tender, meek, young lady and a young man tired of life. Their paths crossed several times, and happiness would have been possible. However, fate had different plans...
Even after a century, the novel «Eugene Onegin» with its eternal questions remains contemporary, and readers of all generations continue to cast «eyes filled with love and gratitude» upon it.
