{"product_id":"eugene-onegin-a-novel-in-verse-9781783084586","title":"Eugene Onegin: A Novel in Verse","description":"\u003cp\u003eA powerful love story set in the class-conscious Tsarist Russia of the early 19th century. 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 It traces the lives of two young people from childhood to maturity. Yevgeny, the fashionably disillusioned young man who knows everything about love except the most important thing; Tatiana, whose only experience of love comes from romantic novels but who knows how to love till the end.\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; Eugene Onegin is his greatest work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Pushkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthem Cosmopolis Writings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783084586","brand":"Anthem Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710526263433,"sku":"9781783084586","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a4421f2b-13d6-41d4-be59-feb9aba94dcd.jpg?v=1719537879","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/eugene-onegin-a-novel-in-verse-9781783084586","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
