The award-winning translators bring us the Complete Plays of the most acclaimed Russian writer of the Romantic era.
These new translations of the Complete plays, from the award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, freshly reveal the range of Pushkin\'s enduring artistry..
Pushkin\'s shorter forays into verse drama include The Water Nymph , A Scene from Faust , and the four brief Plays known as the Little Tragedies The Miserly Knight , set in medieval France
Mozart and Salieri , which inspired the popular film Amadeus
The Stone Guest , a tale of Don Juan in Madrid; and A Feast in a Time of Plague , in which a group of revelers defy quarantine in plague-ridden London.
Pushkin was inspired by the example of Shakespeare to create this panoramic drama, with its richly varied cast of characters and artful blend of comic and tragic scenes.
His most famous play is Boris Godunov (later adapted into a popular opera by Mussorgsky), a tale of ambition and murder centered on the sixteenth-century Tsar who preceded the Romanovs.
Known as the father of Russian literature, Alexander Pushkin was celebrated for his dramas as well as his poetry and stories.
