《名著名译插图本：叶甫盖尼·奥涅金》是以书中男主人公的名字命名的。诗人通过这个典型的艺术形象反映生活的真实，传达他以现实人生的看法和他对人类本性的观察与了解，其中包含着非常丰富的内涵。《名著名译插图本：叶甫盖尼·奥涅金》是普希金最伟大、影响最深远、读者也最多的作品。它以优美的韵律和严肃的主题深刻反映俄国十九世纪初叶的现实，提出生活中的许多问题，被俄国批评家别林斯基誉为“俄国生活的百科全书和最富有人民性的作品”。

享誉世界的俄罗斯伟大诗人普希金出生于贵族家庭，从小博览群书。当时俄国沙皇的专制统治使得国家落后，民不聊生，而连年战乱列是雪上加霜，普希金以笔为武器撰写了许多讽刺诗抨击沙皇及其奴才。他鼓舞人们与这种不合理的制度作斗争。他还写了许多描写俄罗斯风士人情和自己情感的动人心灵的优美抒情诗。 本诗选的译者查良铮（笔名穆旦）精通俄语，熟谙俄罗斯文学，尤其难得的是译者本人也是一位卓越的诗人，由他来译普希金的诗更是相得益彰。

Considered in his day Russia's greatest poet, Pushkin was famous not only for works that inspired ballets and operas, such as Eugene Onegin and Boris Godunov, but for his stories--"The Queen of Spades" and many others--all of which are collected here in a translation that captures their grace and vitality.

The Queen of Spades has long been acknowledged as one of the world's greatest short stories. In this classic literary representation of gambling, Alexander Pushkin explores the nature of obsession. Hints of the occult and gothic alternate with scenes of St Petersburg high-society in the story of the passionate Hermann's quest to master chance and make his fortune at the card-table. Underlying the taut plot is an ironical treatment of the romantic dreamer and social outcast. This volume contains three other major works of Pushkin's fiction, moving from the witty parodies of sentimentalism and high melodrama in The Tales of Belkin to an early experiment with recreating the past in Peter the Great's Blackamoor. It concludes with the novel-length masterpiece The Captain's Daughter, which combines historical fiction in the manner of Sir Walter Scott with the colour and devices of the Russian fairy-tale in a narrative of rebellion and romance. These new translations, as well as being meticulously faithful to the original, do full justice to the elegance and fluency of Pushkin's prose. The Introduction provides insightful readings of the stories and places them in their European literary context. A chronology of the Pugachov Uprising illuminates the events in The Captain's Daughter.

'The people are silent' So ends Pushkin's great historical drama Boris Godunov, in which Boris's reign as Tsar witnesses civil strife and intrigue, brutality and misery. Its legacy is an uncertain future for the new Tsar whose inauguration is met with devastating silence by the people. Pushkin's dramatic work displays a scintillating variety of forms, from the historical to the metaphysical and folkloric. After Boris Godunov, they evolved into Pushkin's own unique, condensed transformations of Western European themes and traditions. The fearful amorality of A Scene from Faust is followed by the four Little Tragedies which confront greed, envy, lust, and blasphemy , while Rusalka is a tragedy of a different kind - a lyric fairytale of despair and transformation. James E. Falen's verse translations of Pushkin's dramas are here accompanied by an Introduction by Caryl Emerson on Russia's most cosmopolitan playwright.
