Years later, Eugene Onegin sees the error of his ways, but fate is not on his side.

He was liberally educated and left school in 1817. Given a sinecure in the Foreign Office, he spent three dissipated years in St Petersburg writing light, erotic and highly polished verse. He flirted with several pre-Decembrist societies, composing the mildly revolutionary verses which led to his disgrace and exile in 1820. After traveling through the Caucasus and the Crimea, he was sent to Bessarabia, where he wrote \u003cb\u003eThe Captive of the Caucasus\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eThe Fountain at Bakhchisaray\u003c\/b\u003e, and began \u003cb\u003eEugene Onegin\u003c\/b\u003e. His work took an increasingly serious turn during the last year of his southern exile, in Odessa. In 1824 he was transferred to his parents' estate at Mikhaylovskoe in north-west Russia, where he spent two solitary but fruitful years during which he wrote his historical drama \u003cb\u003eBoris Godunov\u003c\/b\u003e, continued \u003cb\u003eEugene Onegin\u003c\/b\u003e and finished \u003cb\u003eThe Gipsies\u003c\/b\u003e. After the failure of the Decembrist Revolt in 1825 and the succession of a new tsar, Pushkin was granted conditional freedom in 1826. During the next three years he wandered restlessly between St Petersburg and Moscow. He wrote an epic poem, \u003cb\u003ePoltava\u003c\/b\u003e, but little else. In 1829 he went with the Russian army to Transcaucasia, and the following year, stranded by a cholera outbreak at the small family estate of Boldino, he wrote his experimental \u003cb\u003eLittle Tragedies\u003c\/b\u003e in blank verse and \u003cb\u003eThe Tales of Belkin\u003c\/b\u003e in prose, and virtually completed \u003cb\u003eEugene Onegin\u003c\/b\u003e. In 1831 he married the beautiful Natalya Goncharova. The rest of his life was soured by debts and the malice of his enemies. Although his literary output slackened, he produced his major prose works \u003cb\u003eThe Queen of Spades\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eThe Captain's Daughter\u003c\/b\u003e, his masterpiece in verse, \u003cb\u003eThe Bronze Horseman\u003c\/b\u003e, important lyrics and fairy tales, including \u003cb\u003eThe Tale of the Golden Cockerel\u003c\/b\u003e. Towards the end of 1836 anonymous letters goaded Pushkin into challenging a troublesome admirer of his wife to a duel. He was mortally wounded and died in January 1837.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 7.7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 25, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47227343339769,"sku":"9780140448108","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/U0hMVVpFY2lKM3ZGa2pFQ0RDQXVmdz09.webp?v=1768279554","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/eugene-onegin-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
