The aristocratic Yevgeny Onegin has come into his inheritance, leaving the glamour of St Petersburgs social life behind to take up residence at his uncles country estate. Master of the nonchalant bow, and proof of the fact that we shine despite our lack of education, the aristocratic Onegin is the very model of a social butterfly a fickle dandy, liked by all for his wit and easy ways. When the shy and passionate Tatyana falls in love with him, Onegin condescendingly rejects her, and instead carelessly diverts himself by flirting with her sister, Olga with terrible consequences.Yevgeny Onegin is one of the if not THE greatest works of all Russian literature, and certainly the foundational text and Pushkin the foundational writer who influence all those who came after (Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, etc). So its no surprise that this verse novella has drawn so many translators. Its a challenge, too, since verse is always harder to translate than prose. (Vikram Seth, rather than translating Onegin again, updated it to the 1980s in San Franciso in his The Golden Gate). A.D.P. Briggs is arguably the greatest living scholar of Pushkin, certainly in the UK, and as such hes spent a lifetime thinking about how to translate Pushkin. Briggs is an experienced and accomplished translator, not only for Pushkin (Pushkins The Queen of Spades) but for Penguin Classics (War and Peace, The Resurrection) and others. Briggs has not only been thinking about Pushkin for decades, hes been working on this translation for nearly as long. Its a landmark event in the history of Onegin translations and this edition is accompanied by a thoughtful introduction and translators note.

The book itself is a fantastic classic, but it arrived with a slight dent on the corner. I’m not sure how that happened during shipping. The story is captivating, and I appreciated the quality of the print. Just wish it had come in better condition!

A Timeless Classic to Own
I picked up the Yevgeny Onegin from the Pushkin Press Classics series, and it’s such a beautiful edition. The cover design is really striking, making it a lovely addition to my bookshelf. The translation flows well, capturing the essence of Pushkin’s writing. Great for anyone looking to dive into Russian literature!

Not What I Expected
Honestly, I was a bit let down with this edition of Yevgeny Onegin. The text felt a little dense, and I struggled with some parts. I had hoped for more notes in the back for context. Maybe it's just not the right fit for me, but I think I'll pass it on to a friend who might appreciate it more.
