Overview
In a fabulous translation by Anthony Briggs, The Queen of Spades and Selected Works offers the most comprehensive overview of Pushkin’s mastery of the written word.
This stunning volume contains a diverse range of Pushkin’s literary works, including "The Queen of Spades", the most celebrated short story in Russian literature which served as inspiration for Tchaikovsky's eponymous opera.
- In "The Stationmaster", Pushkin reimagines the parable of the Prodigal Son;
- "Tsar Nikita and His Forty Daughters" showcases some of his more provocative early poetry;
- and the narrative poem "The Bronze Horseman", inspired by a statue of Peter the Great, is one of Pushkin’s most celebrated works.
Alongside this is a selection of Pushkin’s best lyric poetry, extracts of his best plays and an excerpt from his classic novel in verse, Yevgeny Onegin.
