The Captain's Daughter

This collection includes selected prose by Pushkin. The Tales of Belkin – a cycle of five stories. At times – tragic, at times – amusing, and sometimes even mystical, they tell us stories of love, revenge, loneliness, and the search... for the meaning of life. Dubrovskiy – an engaging novel-story about a suddenly ignited feeling between the descendants of two feuding families. And finally, The Captain's Daughter – a historical novel, in which against the backdrop of the Peasant Uprising led by Yemelyan Pugachev unfolds a touching love story. All these works unite a subtle and deep description of the characters' traits, whether they are a peasant or a landowner, a lovesick girl or the rebel Pugachev, the richest Russian language, and finally, a masterful ability to create captivating plots – it is no coincidence that so many films have been made based on Pushkin's prose.
