Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin

Esta edición de las Narraciones completas, muchas de ellas inéditas en español, ofrece asimismo las claves del peculiar romanticismo pushkiniano, rápido, templado y estricto. Sus héroes y heroínas -nobles bandoleros, husares y cosacos, dandis de Petersburgo, princesas patriotas y señoritas novelescas- se ven envueltos en lances extraordinarios y graciles mascaradas, pero son observados por un narrador que, ademas de dominar con habilidad extrema los recursos de la trama, es capaz de verla al trasluz, de contemplar con humor tanto lo romantico como la decepcion de lo romantico. Y, como dice Amaya Lacasa en su Introduccion al volumen (que tan excelentemente ha traducido, con Clara Janes en los fragmentos en verso), toda la futura riqueza de la literatura rusa esta contenida en el como en un embrion.

"Eugenio Oneguin", novela en verso, es una de las obras fundamentales de Pushkin y una de las novelas rusas más relevantes del siglo XIX. El personaje de Oneguin encierra una dualidad en la concepción del mundo. Aunque hostil al "gran mundo", esta a la vez inscrito e inmerso en el. Su individualismo tendente al escepticismo se convierte en la indiferencia de quien no tiene ningun objetivo ante la vida.

When the world-weary dandy Eugene Onegin moves from St Petersburg to take up residence in the country estate he has inherited, he strikes up an unlikely friendship with his neighbour, the poet Vladimir Lensky. Coldly rejecting the amorous advances of Tatyana and cynically courting her sister Olga - Lensky's fiancee - Onegin finds himself dragged into a tragedy of his own making. Eugene Onegin - presented here in a sparkling translation by Roger Clarke, along with extensive notes and commentary - was the founding text of modern Russian literature, marking a clean break from the high-flown classical style of its predecessors and introducing the quintessentially Russian hero and heroine, which would remain the archetypes for novelists throughout the nineteenth century.
