In the course of his short, dramatic life, Aleksandr Pushkin gave Russia not only its greatest poetry-including the novel-in-verse Eugene Onegin -but a new literary language. He also gave it a figure of enduring romantic allure-fiery, restless, extravagant, a prodigal gambler and inveterate seducer of women. Having forged a dazzling, controversial career that cost him the enmity of one tsar and won him the patronage of another, he died at the age of thirty-eight, following a duel with a French officer who was paying unscrupulous attention to his wife.
