A powerful love story set in the class-conscious Tsarist Russia of the early 19th century. It embraces every level of that society - serf, provincial, aristocrat - in verse which is by turns beautiful, witty, wickedly perceptive and always readable. This is essential reading for anyone with a love of Russian literature, because this is where it all began. There is little pre-history to that golden age of 19th century novels. Lomonosov, a fisherman's son turned scholar, took church Slavonic, peasant Russian, mixed in a few 'Loan translations' and gave a French-speaking aristocracy a literary language; Pushkin was the first truly great poet to use it; Yevgeny Onegin is his greatest work.

Eugene Onegin is a Russian tale of love and tragedy. Told only in pure verse and rhyme, the reader follows the story of Eugene Onegin and his lover, Tattiana.
Yes, I enjoyed the story greatly. What a read! To follow the lives of these characters through poetry, to learn their deepest feelings, tortured thoughts, and highest ecstasies -- written out not in typical prose, but in a way that tingles the soul.
This novel has certainly intrigued me. I'd love to tackle another story in verse again one day.
"Happy he who in youth was young
Happy who timely grew mature,
He who life's frosts which early wrung
Hath gradually learnt to endure...."
(Stanza X, Canto VIII)
