One of the most influential works in Russian literature, it will appeal to readers of Dostoyevsky's \u003ci\u003eThe Double\u003c\/i\u003e, Andrei Biely's \u003ci\u003ePetersburg\u003c\/i\u003e, Anna Akhmatova's poetry, and the works of Nikolai Gogol. This new translation, described by Robert Chandler as \"truly wonderfull,\" is accompanied here by Pushkin's greatest shorter verses. They range from lyric poetry to narrative verse based on traditional Russian stories of enchanted tsars and magical fish. Together, they show the dazzling range and achievement of Russia's greatest poet.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexander Pushkin\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Moscow in 1799.
