Description

Kirdjali with his acts of brigandage brought terror upon the whole of Moldavia. In order to give some idea of him, I will relate one of his exploits. One night he and the Arnout Mikhaelaki fell together upon a Bulgarian village. They set it on fire at both ends, and began to go from hut to hut. Kirdjali dispatched the inmates, and Mikhaelaki carried off the booty. Both cried: "Kirdjali! Kirdjali!" The whole village took to flight.

Author

Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837) stands at the head of Russian literature — the poet later novelists still answer. Eugene Onegin made a novel in verse; the tales, plays, and lyrics gave Russian a new natural brilliance, as if the language had been waiting for him. Pushkin wrote with golden speed: wit, passion, and a clarity that feels conversational even at full music.
