Críticas
'Chandler, a superb translator from the Russian, rises to the challenge as he celebrates the writing while dodging the ''crushing weight of reverence''. He gives a swift but sensitive account of Pushkin's eventful life: part-African ancestry, romance, rebellion, exile, travel, death in that absurd duel in 1837. And, via pithy summary and apt quotation, we glimpse the works - such as Boris Godunov, Eugene Onegin and The Queen of Spades that fixed his role as the national icon claimed by Russians of all stripes.' --The Independent
'This superb, short (152 pages) book is a masterwork. Chandler dares to wrestle with the icon that is Pushkin and delivers a digestible, readable biography that is as mindful of the mountains of Pushkinian research as it is of the knowledge and interest level of the general reader. --Russian Life Magazine
'[...an] engaging and enjoyable "brief life" of Russia's greatest, most quintessential poet.' --Times Literary Supplement

Alexander Pushkin is considered by many to be Russia’s greatest poet, and through his poems as well as his experimentation with other genres?dramas, short stories, prose novels?he influenced generations of Russian and international writers. This exquisite biography examines Pushkin as writer, lover, and public figure, exploring his relationship with politics and providing a fascinating glimpse of the turbulent history that surrounded Pushkin’s life. This is a succinct and sympathetic guide to understanding Russia’s most celebrated literary figure.
