It embraces every level of that society – serf, provincial, aristocrat – in verse which is by turns beautiful, witty, wickedly perceptive and always readable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthem Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136816398576,"sku":"9781783084593","price":12.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783084593_p0.jpg?v=1763721336","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783084593","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
