Onegin is one of these stories that I know without having read the book. I have seen it in opera and ballet, but not in the original form. I finished yesterday Fathers and Sons by Turgenev, with a main character named Evgueni who believes in nothing spending some time in the countryside at a friend’s place. 🤔Where did Turgeniev get that? 😄
Right?!? Pretty much every Russian writer over the next century was writing as a successor or reaction to what Pushkin created. How did you enjoy Fathers and Sons? Cheers, Jack
The best ❤🎉🎉🎉
Fantastic breakdown!
Thanks for the kind words!
Sounds great, as usual coming from you!
If the verse isn’t a distraction it’s a very rewarding read. Hope your week is going well, Fraser.
Cheers, Jack

@@ramblingraconteur1616I'm starting to read Eugene Onegin today.
Casually dropping the Superfluous Man line there. I see you, Jack
It was integral to the superfluous analysis, Una.
I really need to read this!!
It’s very good. You’d probably pick up on many more links to German Romanticism than I did.
You are spectacular.
You should read James Falen's translation. It is much smoother written and closer to the Russian original. You can find it in audio book on TH-cam.
