Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) was a poet, playwright, and novelist who achieved literary prominence before he was twenty.
Notoriously touchy about his honor, he died at age thirty-seven in a duel with his wife\'s alleged lover..
His radical politics led to government censorship and periods of banishment from the capital, but he eventually married a popular society beauty and became a regular part of court life.
