Description

A seventeen-year-old girl, Maria Gavrilovna, falls in love with a young officer, Vladimir Nikolayevich. Her parents disapprove of the relationship, which continues into the winter through correspondence. Finally they decide to elope, marry quickly, and then throw themselves at the feet of her parents to beg forgiveness.

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.
