This is the first English translation of a work which caused a scandal in Russia when it originally appeared. Sinyavksy wrote Strolls with Pushkin while he was imprisoned for his writings in a Soviet labour camp, smuggled it out in letters to his wife, and published it in emigration in 1975. 14 years later, the first excerpt was published in Russia. Many scholars in the West regard it as the most brilliant critical work on Pushkin ever to have been written; however, in Russia it has been violently attacked for its irreverent portrait of Pushkin, who is the Russian national poet possessing a status approximating that of a religious icon. In this book, Sinyavksy attempts to answer the question why Pushkin is able to achieve the lightness, brilliance and universality that is so often attributed to him.
