The Queen of Spades and Selected Works

`The Queen of Spades and Selected Works` is a brand new English translation of two of Alexander Pushkin`s greatest short stories, `The Queen of Spades` and `The Stationmaster`, together with the poem `The Bronze Horseman`, extracts from Yevgeny Onegin and Boris Godunov, and a selection of his poetic work. `The Queen of Spades`, originally published in Russian in 1834, is one of the most famous tales in Russian literature, and inspired the eponymous opera by Tchaikovsky; in `The Stationmaster`, originally published in Russian in The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin` in 1830, he reworks the parable of the Prodigal Son; the hugely entertaining `Tsar Nikita and his Forty Daughters` is a bawdier early poem; and the deeply moving narrative poem `The Bronze Horseman`, inspired by a St Petersburg statue of Peter the Great, is one of his most influential works. The volume also includes a selection of his best lyric poetry. Translated by Anthony Briggs, `The Queen of Spades and Selected Works` is the perfect introduction to Alexander Pushkin`s finest work.
