The Captain's Daughter

The last completed prose work of Pushkin, published on the eve of his demise, is also one of the first historical novels (in the definition of the author himself) in Russian literature.

Partly parodic in nature, the memoir form of narration... by a witness and participant of the events, the realistic depiction of a god-forsaken military fortress on the border of the steppes, the precise historical novellization of the brutal Pugachov uprising, shamelessly romantic fairy tale in the spirit of Walter Scott with the implausibility of a whole series of plot conflicts — the innovative genre eclecticism makes "The Captain's Daughter" a work of artistic perfection and a brilliant example of Russian prose.
