Eugene Onegin. A Graphic Guide — Russian Edition

Aleksey Oleinikov and Natalia Yaskina bring the past to life with an illustrated commentary to Eugene Onegin, the novel in verse which is called an encyclopedia of Russian life. It was written between 1823 and 1830 by Alexander Pushkin – the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modern Russian literature. Since then, the original text has been translated into at least 37 languages, including 45 English translations, 8 French translations, and 12 German translations. It has also inspired an opera by Tchaikovsky, a few ballets, and film adaptations (the latest one stars Liv Tyler as Tatyana).
