Master of the nonchalant bow, the aristocratic and aloof Onegin is the very model of a social butterfly - a fickle dandy, liked by all for his quick wit and easy ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen the shy and passionate Tatyana becomes hopelessly infatuated with him, Onegin rejects her with brutal condescension. Swiftly moving on, he carelessly diverts himself by flirting with her sister, Olga, sowing the seeds for future disaster and heartbreak. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy turns playful, philosophical, sardonic and mournful, brimming with rich descriptions of Russian life, from drinking and dancing to crisp wintry landscapes, \u003ci\u003eYevgeny Onegin \u003c\/i\u003eis a work of thrilling energy. This deft and vibrant translation by Anthony Briggs, acclaimed translator of Tolstoy's \u003ci\u003eWar and Peace\u003c\/i\u003e, brilliantly conveys this vitality, capturing all the supple lightness and humour, as well as the depth, of Pushkin's luminous verse novel.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexander Pushkin\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1799.
