Pushkin: A BiographyHarperCollins, 2002 - 731 pages A biography of one of literature's most romantic and enigmatic figures. Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was possibly Russia's greatest poet - the nearest Russian equivalent to Shakespeare - and his brief life was as turbulent and dramatic as anything in his work. Born in Moscow in 1799, Pushkin was expelled from St Petersburg at the age of 20 as a result of his satirical writings. He remained in internal exile, under the supervision of the Emperor, for the next seven years, and throughout his life he continued to excite official disapproval for his political and religious beliefs. In 1832he married a young beauty, Natalia Goncharova. Five years later he became jealous of the attentions paid to her by a French nobleman, and challenged him to a duel, in which he was fatally injured. Pushkin's life and writings have inspired generations of devotees, and his influence continues to be felt in the present day. |
