Description

"Eugene Oneguine" by Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin is a novel in verse published between 1825 and 1832. In 1820s Russia, a jaded St. Petersburg dandy inherits a country estate and befriends a young poet. When the poet's idealistic neighbor confesses her love, Onegin coldly rejects her. A fatal duel shatters friendships, and years later, fate reunites the protagonists under dramatically altered circumstances. This classic exploration of love, regret, and social convention unfolds through Pushkin's masterful verse in the distinctive "Onegin stanza." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
