Eugene Onegin

An incredible task is to briefly talk about the brilliant and unique Eugene Onegin. Let"s turn to Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin himself. “Not a novel, but a novel in verses - a devilish difference”, “I write it with rapture that I haven’t been to me for a long time”, “I have been writing a new poem at my leisure,“ Eugene Onegin ”, where I choke on bile”, “My best work ”,“ I expected romanticism from me, found a satire and cynicism and did not dry decently ”... The plot reveals the fate of a young nobleman, a“ extra person ”, a representative of the Russian elite of the first quarter of the 19th century. Despite the entire secular canvas, V.Ya. Belinsky will write: “Onegin can be called an encyclopedia of Russian life and a highly folk work.”
