Aleksandr Sergejevič Puškin Libri

Il romanzo in versi Eugenio Onegin fu avviato da Puskin nel 1823 e terminato nel 1831. Negli otto canti che compongono il libro si narra la storia di un giovane dandy, Eugenio, del suo rapporto con la fanciulla, Tatiana, prima rifiutata poi amata e del suo duello, originato da capriccio e leggerezza, con l'amico Lenskij.

Il sedicenne Petr Andreevi Grinev viene inviato dal padre a prestare il servizio militare a Orenburg, insieme al suo servitore Savelfi. Durante il viaggio sono sorpresi da una tormenta e salvati da un uomo che li conduce a una locanda. I due riescono poi a raggiungere la fortezza di Belogorsk, dove fanno la conoscenza del comandante Kuzfimi, di sua moglie, della loro figlia Mar'ja e del giovane ufficiale Vabrin. Tra Petr e quest'ultimo sorge subito una forte antipatia, in quanto entrambi sono innamorati di Mar'ja, e si sfidano a duello. Petr rimane ferito e, durante la sua convalescenza, la ragazza gli confessa di amarlo, nonostante suo padre sia contrario al loro matrimonio. La fortezza viene poi assediata dai cosacchi ribelli guidati dal terribile e sanguinario Pugaev, nel quale Savelfi riconoscerà l'uomo che li aveva salvati dalla tormenta... Nel capolavoro di Puskin, scritto nel 1836 e divenuto un classico della letteratura russa dell'Ottocento, si assiste alla crescita e alla maturazione del giovane Petr Andreevi. Grinev, che nel suo percorso di formazione diventerà un uomo e un ufficiale valoroso, pronto a difendere con ogni mezzo la donna che ama. Un romanzo ricco di azione e colpi di scena, ma allo stesso tempo un libro romantico, che rievoca antiche atmosfere e tutto il fascino della Russia di Caterina la Grande.

Principi e regine, serpenti e draghi, spiriti magici e diavoli, personaggi indimenticabili come la strega Baba Jaga, la bella Vassilissa, Finist falco lucente o la piccola Masha e l’orso, protagonisti di un antico racconto recentemente riscoperto da un’amatissima serie televisiva. L’universo delle fiabe russe, disseminato di cupole d’oro e capanne sperdute nel folto di boschi secolari, costituisce da sempre un’inesauribile fonte di fascino e stupore per grandi e bambini. In questo volume, che affianca le più belle storie tratte dalla celebre raccolta di Aleksandr Afanasev a quelle rese immortali dal genio di Aleksandr Puškin, il mondo fantastico delle fiabe prende forma nelle incantevoli tavole di Ivan Bilibin, tra i più grandi artisti russi di inizio Novecento: contraddistinte da una perfetta osmosi fra tradizione e stile moderno, le sue illustrazioni ritraggono con maestria zar inflessibili e streghe spaventose, animali magici e giovani coraggiosi, immergendoli in paesaggi fantastici e in interni riccamente decorati. Una raccolta preziosa, un’edizione di prestigio per godere la magia senza tempo di un tesoro di storie e tradizioni che continua a incantare per la ricchezza dell’invenzione e l’inesauribilità della fantasia.

Famoso per la sua poesia e i suoi drammi di enorme influenza, Aleksandr Puškin è amato anche per i suoi racconti. Questa raccolta mette in mostra la sua straordinaria versatilità, che gli ha permesso di ritrarre il popolo russo attraverso il romanticismo, il dramma e la satira. L'umorismo scintillante delle cinque "Storie di Belkin" contrasta con una fable oscura sul gioco d'azzardo e la brama ossessiva in "La regina di picche" e la magistrale novella storica "La figlia del capitano", una storia d'amore e tradimento ambientata durante una ribellione ai tempi di Caterina la Grande.

Sullo sfondo di una Russia attraversata dalla rivolta del cosacco Emel'jan Pugacëv, Puskin, seguendo le vicende del contrastato amore tra Pètr Grinëv e Masa Mironova, conntinua, portandola a compimento, la propria tormentosa interrogazione sul potere russo iniziata con la tragedia Boris Godunov. Pur ricco di puntuali riferimenti alla storia russa, "La figlia del capitano" non può essere sbrigativamente etichettato come "romanzo storico", tanto più se paragonato alla "Storia di Pugacëv", più fortemente basata su una ricca messe di materiali documentari e di testimonianze. La tensione narrativa, la ricchezza stilistica, la decisa capacità di coinvolgere il lettore fanno de "La figlia del capitano" e della "Storia di Pugacëv" due opere godibili che riformulano i grandi temi dello spirito russo restituendone intatto il forte impatto letterario.

Collection of Pushkin's fairy tales in verse for adults to read to young children.

One of the many aspects of Alexander Pushkin's immense contribution to Russian language and literature, and perhaps the one he is most popular for, is his mastery of the love poem, a genre which he perfected like few others before or after him. This volume contains a selection of his most famous and enduring verse explorations of love, such as 'I Loved You', 'Night' and 'I Well Recall a Wondrous Meeting', pieces which are crowning achievements of the European canon and still have the same timeless emotional resonance today.

The description for this book, Eugene Onegin: A Novel in Verse: Commentary, will be forthcoming.

Alexander Puschkin verfasste bereits in den 1820er Jahren ein Märchen in Versform unter dem Titel Das Märchen von der toten Prinzessin und den sieben Recken, oft auch kurz Die leblose/tote Prinzessin genannt. Diese Version erzählt im Grunde das gesamte Märchen, jedoch mit zahlreichen Unterschieden zur Grimmschen Version: - Schneewittchen wird nicht als solches bezeichnet, sondern ist eine namenlose Prinzessin. - Statt zu sieben Zwergen flüchtet sie zu sieben Rittern. Dort fehlen die Episoden mit dem geschnürten Mieder und dem vergifteten Kamm. Die Ritter gehen auf die Jagd statt in ein Bergwerk und würden das Mädchen gerne selbst ehelichen, geben sich aber mit ihrer Freundschaft zufrieden. - Im Wald soll das Mädchen statt von einem Jäger von einer Kammerfrau getötet werden; der Mordanschlag im Haus der Ritter wird von ihr im Auftrag der Königin als Wiedergutmachung für ihren Betrug beim ersten Mordauftrag verübt. - Die Heldin ist mit dem Prinzen, der sie am Ende rettet, bereits aus der Zeit im Königsschloss verlobt. - Die böse Königin stirbt vor Gram, schon wieder nicht die Schönste zu sein.

Set in 19th-century Russia, the narrative explores the complexities of love against a backdrop of societal norms and aristocratic desires. Pushkin's lyrical prose delves into the emotional depth and longing of the characters, showcasing their struggles with passion and social barriers. This timeless masterpiece combines romance, poetry, and social commentary, providing insight into human emotions and societal expectations. Rich imagery and evocative language highlight the essence of Russian Romanticism, making it a cornerstone of the literary tradition.

Great Ghost Stories is a volume filled with strange sights, spirits, words and actions from beyond the grave.This rich and diverse collection brings together some of the best spooky writing of all time.

The archetypal Romantic, killed in a duel in 1837 at the age of 37, Alexander Pushkin was effectively the founder of modern Russian literature. Though famous as a poet, he was equally at home in prose, and this volume includes all his short fiction, as well as unfinished sketches and fragments. Here of course are his masterpieces, 'The Queen of Spades', Pushkin's ironic take on both the supernatural and the society tale, the terse, deadpan Tales of Belkin, often humorous yet imbued with deep understanding of human nature, and his unsurpassable novella, The Captain's Daughter, which, informed by his meticulous research into the Pugachev Rebellion against Catherine the Great, is a perfect combination of folk epic, historical narrative and romance. Other works include the richly comic 'A History of the Village of Goriukhino', the imaginative historical fiction 'The Moor of Peter the Great' (based on the life of the author's own great-grandfather. Pushkin was particularly proud of his African ancestry), and 'Journey to Arzrum', the fascinating autobiographical account of his (unauthorized, and greatly displeasing to the Tsar) travels in the Caucasus at the time of the 1828-9 Russo-Turkish war.

"In an era of inept and ignorant imitations, whose piped-in background music has hypnotized innocent readers into fearing literality's salutary jolt, some reviewers were upset by the humble fidelity of my version." Such was Vladimir Nabokov's response to the storm of controversy aroused by the first edition of his literal translation of "Eugene Onegin." This bold rendering of the Russian masterpiece, together with Nabokov's detailed and witty commentary, is itself a work of enduring literary interest, and reflects a lifelong admiration for Pushkin on the part of one of this century's most brilliant stylists.

Beyond his perfect expression of Russian mood, Pushkin's universality of vision has made him a permanent place in the history of world literature. This translation contains his prose fiction, including some tales which remained unfinished when Pushkin was tragically killed in a duel at the age of thirty-seven.

Pushkin was the first Russian writer of European stature, and he is among the very few artists - such as Homer and Shakespeare - to have shaped the consciousness and history of an entire nation and its language, thereby affecting the world at large.

The award-winning translators bring us the complete plays of the most acclaimed Russian writer of the Romantic era.Known as the father of Russian literature, Alexander Pushkin was celebrated for his dramas as well as his poetry and stories. His most famous play is Boris Godunov (later adapted into a popular opera by Mussorgsky), a tale of ambition and murder centered on the sixteenth-century Tsar who preceded the Romanovs. Pushkin was inspired by the example of Shakespeare to create this panoramic drama, with its richly varied cast of characters and artful blend of comic and tragic scenes. Pushkin’s shorter forays into verse drama include The Water Nymph , A Scene from Faust , and the four brief plays known as the Little Tragedies : The Miserly Knight , set in medieval France; Mozart and Salieri , which inspired the popular film Amadeus ; The Stone Guest , a tale of Don Juan in Madrid; and A Feast in a Time of Plague , in which a group of revelers defy quarantine in plague-ridden London. These new translations of the complete plays, from the award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, freshly reveal the range of Pushkin’s enduring artistry.

Selected works from one of Russia’s greatest writers, including “The Queen of Spades”, “The Stationmaster” and a selection of Pushkin’s best poetic work In a fabulous translation by Anthony Briggs, The Queen of Spades and Selected Works offers the most comprehensive overview of Pushkin’s mastery of the written word. This stunning volume contains a diverse range of Pushkin’s literary works, including "The Queen of Spades", the most celebrated short story in Russian literature which served as inspiration for Tchaikovsky's eponymous opera. In "The Stationmaster", Pushkin reimagines the parable of the Prodigal Son; "Tsar Nikita and His Forty Daughters" showcases some of his more provocative early poetry; and the narrative poem "The Bronze Horseman", inspired by a statue of Peter the Great, is one of Pushkin’s most celebrated works. Alongside this is a selection of Pushkin’s best lyric poetry, extracts of his best plays and an excerpt from his classic novel in verse, Yevgeny Onegin.

James E. Falen's verse translation consists of Boris Godunov, A Scene from Faust, the four Little Tragedies and Rusalka. It is accompanied by a penetrating Introduction by Caryl Emerson on Russia's most cosmopolitan playwright.

One of Pushkin’s most thrilling prose works, Dubrovsky follows the adventures of an aristocrat-turned-brigand and his audacious scheme for revenge. It is published here with the short story Egyptian Nights. Dubrovsky is the son of a landowner whose property has been confiscated by a corrupt and malicious general. After his father dies, and his faithful servants burn his ancestral home to the ground, Dubrovsky turns to crime. But to achieve his ultimate aim of avenging his father, he must resort to subtler means than banditry. Masquerading as a French tutor, he enters the General’s house and sets about beguiling his daughter. Asking hard questions of our faith in social institutions, in particular the law, Dubrovsky displays the considerable storytelling skill of Russia’s greatest poet. Alexander Pushkin wrote lyric and narrative poems, but his masterwork is the verse novel Eugene Onegin.

One of the most celebrated short stories by a foundational figure in Russian literature, now in a Little Clothbound Classic designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith A Penguin Hardcover Classic A countess with a card trick; love letters filled with deception; a desperate man with a pistol."The Queen of Spades," one of Pushkin's most popular and chilling stories, is accompanied here by the thrilling "Dubrovsky" and unforgettable "Tales of Belkin."

Bélkin's stories are among the finest works of prose by Pushkin, although the author presents himself to readers in the preface as merely the editor of a found manuscript by the deceased Ivan Petrovich Bélkin. This framing transforms the collection from a work of literary authority into a testimony from an otherwise unknown individual about the world and life within it. This allows Pushkin to place uniquely ordinary characters at the center of the narrative, who later became an inspiration for the entirety of modern Russian literature.

This volume contains new translations of four of Pushkin's best works of fiction. The Queen of Spades has long been acknowledged as one of the world's greatest short stories, in which Pushkin explores the nature of obsession. The Tales of Belkin are witty parodies of sentimentalism, while Peter the Great's Blackamoor is an early experiment with recreating the past. The Captain's Daughter is a novel-length masterpiece which combines historical fiction in the manner of Sir Walter Scott with the devices of the Russian fairy-tale. The Introduction provides close readings of the stories and places them in their European literary context.

Eugene Onegin is the master work of the poet whom Russians regard as the fountainhead of their literature. Set in 1820s Russia, Pushkin's novel in verse follows the fates of three men and three women. It was Pushkin's own favourite work, and this new translation conveys the literal sense and the poetic music of the original. - ;Eugene Onegin is the master work of the poet whom Russians regard as the fountainhead of their literature. Set in 1820s imperial Russia, Pushkin's novel in verse follows the emotions and destiny of three men - Onegin the bored fop, Lensky the minor elegiast, and a stylized Pushkin himself - and the fates and affections of three women - Tatyana the provincial beauty, her sister Olga, and Pushkin's mercurial Muse. Engaging, full of suspense, and varied in tone, it also portrays a large cast of other characters and offers the reader many literary, philosophical, and autobiographical digressions, often in a highly satirical vein. Eugene Onegin was Pushkin's own favourite work, and it shows him attempting to transform himself from a romantic poet into a realistic novelist. This new translation seeks to retain both the literal sense and the poetic music of the original, and capture the poem's spontaneity and wit. The introduction examines several ways of reading the novel, and text is richly annotated. -

Výbor z milostné poezie ruského romantického básníka.

Výber z Puškinovej poézie a poém zostavil a preložil Ľubomír Feldek. Kniha je doplnená chronologickým prehľadom básnikovho života.

Alexander Puschkins Märchen vom Zaren Saltan zählt zu den bekanntesten Erzählungen der russischen Literatur und wurde von Rimski-Korsakow vertont. Puschkin schrieb das Märchen 1831 in Versen, die in diesem Bilderbuch erlebbar sind. Die Illustrationen stammen von Iwan Bilibin, einem renommierten russischen Maler und Buchillustrator.

A versregény főhőse a kor nemesi intelligenciájának alaptípusa, elégedetlenséget érző, de döntésre és ellenállásra képtelen ifjú, a „felesleges ember”, aki kora társadalmától és a néptől egyaránt távol áll, s a kibontakozás útját nem találva egykedvű, életunt. Anyegin figuráján keresztül nemcsak Puskin két száműzetésének, majd a fővárosba való visszatérésének élményei épülnek a műbe, hanem a szerelem, párbaj, bál és színház motívumok hangsúlyos szerepével voltaképpen saját életformáját örökíti meg a kiábrándult dekadencia atmoszférájában. A mű – polifonikus kompozíciója révén – egyúttal hű és tárgyilagos képet rajzol a kor Oroszországának életéről, nemcsak a főváros, hanem a falvak és az udvarházak hangulatát is híven tükrözi. S bár közvetlen politikai vonatkozásai nincsenek, a sorok mögé bújva érezhető feszültséget teremt a forradalom szükségességének vágya.

Vydavateľ sa snaží priblížiť slovenským čitateľom známu rozprávku významného ruského básnika Alexandra Sergejeviča Puškina. Tento projekt je obzvlášť dôležitý, pretože text rozprávky preložil a spracoval renomovaný slovenský básnik Jaroslav Rezník, čo zaručuje kvalitu a umeleckú hodnotu originálu. Rozprávka o cárovi Saltánovi patrí medzi najkrajšie Puškinove diela a jej motív je blízky aj slovenským ľudovým rozprávkam. Veršovaná podoba dodáva deju dynamiku a melódiu, čím posilňuje poetický cit čitateľa. Obsah rozprávky nesie dôležité posolstvo, v ktorom dobro víťazí nad zlom, pričom namiesto trestu prichádza odpustenie. Tento vyšší mravný rozmer je pozitívnym výchovným prvkom, najmä pre deti, ktoré sa často riadia pravidlom „oko za oko, zub za zub“. Odpustenie veľkej neprávosti má silný psychologický dopad na detské vedomie a môže ovplyvniť ich budúce správanie. Príbeh sleduje cára Saltána, ktorý sa tajne ožení s jednou zo sestier, čo vedie k intrigám a tragickému osudu nevinných. Napriek tomu sa postavy zachránia a na ostrove prežijú, pričom chlapec nakoniec privolá svojho otca a odpúšťa zlým sestrám a bosorke. Kniha je obohatená o kvalitné ilustrácie Petra Cpina, ktoré zvyšujú atraktivitu diela a podčiarkujú účinnosť Puškinových veršov.

Ясность, точность, лаконизм, отказ от стилистических украшений — черты, которые безусловно отличают пушкинскую прозу; вместе с тем за внешней простотой скрыт настолько богатый смысловой потенциал, что литературоведы на протяжении почти двух веков не устают разгадывать шедевры Пушкина. К прозе, которую прежде называл «презренной», он обратился только в конце 1820-х годов, уже снискав известность и признание как поэт. Это обращение оказалось исключительно плодотворным — разнообразным в тематическом и жанровом отношении, богатым повествовательными приемами. В настоящее издание вошли роман «Дубровский» (1832–1833), повести «Пиковая дама» (1833) и «Египетские ночи» (1835).

Neben dem Originaltext und dem Faksimile der 1823 in St. Petersburg erschienenen ersten deutschen Nachdichtung ist eine deutsche Prosaübersetzung aufgenommen. Im Kommentarteil werden u. a. bisher in der Forschung nicht herangezogene zeitgenössische Quellen behandelt. Das ausführliche Nachwort untersucht Entstehungs- und Textgeschichte, Puschkins (angeblichen) Byronismus sowie die Handlungsstruktur und die 'ethnografische' Motivschicht des Werkes im Hinblick auf sein Konzept, den 'Blick eines Europäers' auf das Problem 'Russland und der Kaukasus' zu werfen.

"Die Geschichten des verstorbenen Iwan Petrowitsch Belkin" von Alexander Puschkin ist eine Sammlung von Erzählungen, die 1830 entstanden.

Světová četba pro školáky je edice bohatě ilustrovaných, citlivě převyprávěných a zkrácených děl světové literatury. Kapitánská dcerka je historický román, který zachycuje konec 18. století, kdy v Rusku vládla carevna Kateřina II., známá jako Kateřina Veliká. V roce 1773 kozák jménem Jemeljan Pugačov prohlásil, že je svržený car Petr III., a odmítl vládu carevny. Propuklo povstání, které otřásalo kořeny monarchie. Ústředním motivem knihy, zachycující Pugačevovo povstání v Rusku v letech 1772-1774, je milostný vztah šlechtického synka a kapitánovy dcerky, jejíž rodiče se stali obětí povstání, přičemž základním konfliktem je zde rozpor mezi humánním založením mladého člověka a drastickými stránkami nevolnictví. Poslední velké autorovo dílo představuje první básnický a pravdivý obraz Pugačova a jeho povstání

Alexander Puschkin will heiraten. Seine Auserwählte, eine gefeierte Moskauer Schönheit, ist ihm zugeneigt, ihre Mutter aber zweifelt. Schließlich hat Puschkin ein gespanntes Verhältnis zur Obrigkeit, und es fragt sich auch, ob der Luftikus ihre Tochter standesgemäß versorgen könne. Nach langem Werben gibt ihm die begehrte Natalja Gontscharowa endlich das Ja-Wort. Um seinen Besitz zu sichern, reist Puschkin auf ein abgelegenes Landgut, doch da gerät er in Quarantäne: Die Cholera kriecht aus dem Süden die Wolga hoch. Und er sitzt fest. Puschkin sorgt sich um seine Braut, schreibt Briefe, wartet oft vergeblich auf Antwort und kämpft gegen die Bürokratie ländlicher Behörden. Aber es ist Herbst, die Saison, in der er am liebsten dichtet, und davon lässt er sich trotz aller Schwierigkeiten nicht abhalten. Puschkin in Quarantäne versammelt Briefe und Zitate aus jenem ungemein produktiven Herbst in Boldino und verbindet sie anhand informativer Zwischentexte von Rosemarie Tietze zu einem eindrucksvollen Bild des wohl größten russischen Dichters in erzwungener Isolation. Der Band schließt mit dem Einakter »Das Festmahl zur Zeit der Pest«, mit dem Puschkin unmittelbar gegen die Cholera auftrumpft und Fragen aufwirft, die sich uns in einer neuen Brisanz auch heute stellen.

Na celebração do bicentenário do nascimento (06/06/1799) daquele que é considerado um dos maiores poetas russos de sempre, edita-se agora uma selecção dos seus mais belos poemas. «O que faz […] de Púchkin um caso único das letras russas é que foi ele o primeiro a desenvolver uma linguagem poética extraordinariamente fluida, leve e flexível, a capacidade de ''falar'' um russo literário sem qualquer constrangimento sobre qualquer assunto e utilizar - com rigor - qualquer forma ou género poético, e virtuosamente. Virtuosidade de estilo aliada à virtuosidade de liberdade.» (pág. 21, extracto da introdução, por Nina Guerra e Filipe Guerra) tradução, introdução e notas Nina Guerra, Filipe Guerra
