Dubrovsky

Dubrovsky (1833) was conceived as a robber novel in Russian. The plot of Pushkin prompted a friend’s story about what he saw in the prison “a poor nobleman, by the name of Ostrovsky, who was supplanted from the name and, remaining with the peasants, began to rob.” The impossible love of children of enemies, the tale is sad, complemented the canvas. At the village of Kisteneva, the family estate of Dubrovsky, there is also the original: the village of Kistenevo, the father’s gift in honor of the future marriage of the poet, and Egorovna was written off from the fortress Pushkin, the nanny Arina Rodionovna.
Pushkin did not finish Dubrovsky, perhaps waiting for censorship difficulties, perhaps deciding to focus on documentary prose - the History of Pugachev. The story was printed four years after his death
