Наше всё. Произведения Александра Пушкина, которые стыдно не знать | Книги | Культура

Всем, кто плохо помнит произведения Пушкина или просто невнимательно читал их в школе, самое время освежить в памяти сюжеты бессмертных книг. В день рождения писателя АиФ.ru вспоминает десять его главных произведений.

«Евгений Онегин»

Быть можно дельным человеком
И думать о красе ногтей.

«Евгения Онегина» не зря называют «энциклопедией русской жизни», ведь из романа в стихах можно узнать практически всё о пушкинской эпохе: как одевались, о чём говорили, чем жили…

Сам Онегин стал собирательным образом «золотой дворянской молодёжи», праздно прожигающей свою жизнь. Но в отличие от многих, ему быстро надоела череда балов, ресторанов, театров. В поисках новых впечатлений он переезжает из светского Петербурга в деревню, где встречает юную Татьяну Ларину и романтика Владимира Ленского, которые ещё оставят тяжёлый след в его жизни.

«Кавказский пленник»

Я ждал беспечно лучших дней;
И счастие моих друзей
Мне было сладким утешеньем.

Поэма «Кавказский пленник» при жизни Пушкина была его самым популярным произведением. Об этом свидетельствуют и многочисленные подражания поэту, и тот факт, что по сюжету «Кавказского пленника» в Петербурге был поставлен балет с главной примой того времени Евдокией Истоминой.

В основу сюжета поэмы Пушкин положил историю страстной любви мятежного героя (пленного русского офицера) к «детям природы», не испорченным цивилизацией (их представляет прекрасная черкешенка). Трагедия разворачивается на экзотическом фоне кавказской природы и жизни горцев.

«Повести покойного Ивана Петровича Белкина»

Недостаток смелости менее всего извиняется молодыми людьми, которые в храбрости обыкновенно видят верх человеческих достоинств и извинение всевозможных пороков.

Осенью 1830 года из-за распространявшейся холеры Пушкин оказался в заточении в своём имении Болдино, где написал цикл, состоящий из пяти произведений. А чтобы обмануть цензоров и придирчивых критиков, чересчур внимательных к поэту, он выпустил их под авторством некоего Ивана Петровича Белкина, к тому же безвременно ушедшего в мир иной. Возможно, именно благодаря этому «Выстрел», «Метель», «Гробовщик», «Станционный смотритель», «Барышня-крестьянка» легко прошли цензуру.

Сам Пушкин называл эти повести «сказочками» или «побасенками». И несмотря на то, что отношение современников ко всему циклу было посредственным, они считаются одним из самых значимых этапов в творчестве писателя.

«Руслан и Людмила»

Хоть грустно жить, друзья мои,
Однако жить ещё возможно.

Пушкину был всего 21, когда он написал романтическую поэму «Руслан и Людмила», а в день окончания работы над ней сам Василий Жуковский подарил юному автору свой портрет со словами: «Победителю-ученику от побеждённого учителя». Однако поэма не сразу стала такой, какой мы её знаем. Только в 1828 году поэт дописал знаменитое вступление «У лукоморья дуб зелёный…» и сократил эротические моменты, которые были поводом для обвинения его в безнравственности.

В «Руслане и Людмиле» Пушкину удалось соединить загадочное волшебство с романтической историей. Героев поэмы ожидают горе и бедствия, но сила любви сокрушает все преграды.

«Медный всадник»

Люблю тебя, Петра творенье,
Люблю твой строгий, стройный вид…

«Медный всадник» при жизни Пушкина напечатан не был. Поэму запретил Николай I, лично ознакомившийся с текстом рукописи. Только после гибели Пушкина Жуковский убрал все строчки, раздражавшие императора, и существенно отредактированный текст «Медного всадника» был опубликован.

Императору было что запретить в пушкинском тексте: в своей поэме автор противопоставлял великое государство, олицетворённое Петром I, трагической судьбе обычного человека, о благополучие которого никто из властителей никогда не заботился.

«Капитанская дочка»

Не приведи Бог видеть русский бунт, бессмысленный и беспощадный!

«Капитанская дочка» была опубликована всего за месяц до гибели Пушкина в издававшемся им журнале «Современник» под видом записок покойного Петра Гринёва.

Это исторический роман, в котором на фоне крестьянского восстания Емельяна Пугачёва разворачивается трогательная история любви офицера Гринёва и дочери коменданта крепости Маши Мироновой. В поисках материалов для своего произведения Пушкин получил уникальную возможность ознакомиться с секретными материалами о восстании и действиях властей по его подавлению, а также ездил в Поволжье и Приуралье, чтобы лично побеседовать с очевидцами грозных событий.

«Борис Годунов»

А он умел и страхом, и любовью,
И славою народ очаровать.

После завершения работы над «Борисом Годуновым» Пушкин писал своему другу Петру Вяземскому: «Трагедия моя кончена; я перечёл её вслух, один, и бил в ладоши, и кричал, ай да Пушкин! Ай да сукин сын!». В драме, посвящённой периоду царствования Бориса Годунова и вторжению Лжедмитрия I, поэт хотел показать драматическую судьбу лучших людей дворянской интеллигенции.

Описание Смуты начала XVII века и борьбы за русский престол напомнило ему собственное время. Тему власти Пушкин сделал одной из основных в произведении и дал понять, что любая власть — насилие, а значит, зло.

«Маленькие трагедии»

Ужасный век, ужасные сердца!

«Маленькие трагедии» — цикл пьес, состоящий из четырёх произведений, каждое из которых посвящено человеческим порокам. В «Скупом рыцаре» старый барон чахнет в подвале над своими сокровищами, в «Моцарте и Сальери» один музыкант испытывает чувство зависти к гению другого, в «Каменном госте» юноша делает любовные утехи смыслом своей жизни, а в «Пире во время чумы» горожане веселятся буквально над костьми других.

Все эти пьесы были написаны автором всего за две недели осенью 1830 года в Болдино.

«Сказка о рыбаке и рыбке»

На пороге сидит его старуха,
А пред нею разбитое корыто.

Поэт с самого детства любил жанр сказок. Ещё маленьким ребёнком он с нетерпением ждал вечера, чтобы послушать новую историю няни Арины Родионовны, а став писателем, сам создавал интересные сюжеты.

Основой для «Сказки о рыбаке и рыбке» Пушкина послужило произведение братьев Гримм «Рыбак и его жена». И с его лёгкой руки в русский язык вошла поговорка «остаться у разбитого корыта» — то есть погнаться за большим, а остаться ни с чем. Что и случилось с главной героиней сказки, которая захотела стать «владычицей морскою».

«Пиковая дама»

Я не в состоянии жертвовать необходимым в надежде приобрести излишнее.

Знаменитая мистическая повесть Пушкина «Пиковая дама» актуальна до сих пор, ведь азарт и алчность остаются неистребимы в человеке. Сюжет произведения был подсказан Пушкину молодым князем Голицыным, который, проигравшись, вернул себе деньги, поставив по совету бабки на три карты, некогда подсказанные ей Сен-Жерменом.

Однако для пушкинского героя всё складывается не так хорошо, зная три заветные карты, Германн всё равно ошибается и, полностью разорившись, попадает в лечебницу для душевнобольных.

Самые известные произведения Пушкина

Александр Сергеевич Пушкин — всемирно известный писатель, который стал автором великолепных произведений, среди которых детские сказки, лирические стихотворения и повести. Безусловно, все это было создано благодаря особенному таланту автора и уникальном восприятии мира. Характерной чертой творчества Пушкина является исключительная яркость, которая позволяет в полном объеме продемонстрировать нрав русского народа, его рвение к свободе и независимости. и чтобы мы не забывали о нём, мы сделали эту статью — список самых известных произведений Александра Сергеевича Пушкина.

Какие произведения написал Пушкин

Все произведения, написанные пером легендарного автора, разделяются на определенные периоды:

• 1813-1816 гг. – лицейские годы.
• 1817-1820 гг. — жизнь в Ленинграде.
• 1820-1824 гг. — Южная ссылка.
• 1824-1826 гг — Михайловский. 30-е годы,
• 1831-1836 гг. — период творчества.

В лицейском периоде на формирование творческой деятельности Пушкина оказывали влияние такие виртуозы литературного слова как Державин, Вольтер, Жуковский, Карамзин, Руссо. Далее мы подробно рассмотрим, произведения Пушкина, уделив внимание каждому из периодов его творчества.

Ранние произведения А.С. Пушкина

На этом этапе произведения Пушкина пропитаны патриотическим свободолюбивым настроем, что особенно проявляется в его творении «Воспоминания в Царском Селе». В нем выражается ярое неудовольствие крепостным правом и абсолютной зависимостью народа. Тематика жизни и смерти также прослеживается в ранних его произведениях, среди которых: «Желание», «Завещание» и «Моя эпитафия».

Ленинградский период

В произведениях, которые были написаны в ленинградский период, проявляются нотки романтизма, а также стремление к свободе. Особенно эти мотивы поэта наблюдаются в творениях южного периода, когда были созданы поэмы, в которых главными персонажами выступают волевые персоны, кинувшие вызов обычному социальному устройству и мнению. Ознакомиться с любовной поэззией Пушкина можно в «Южных поэмах».

Михайловский период характеризуется появлением исторической драмы «Борис Годунов». Декабристский мятеж, потерпевший фиаско, побудил автора на создание стихотворений свободолюбивого настроя, среди которых «В Сибирь», «Анчар», «Арион» и другие. Если брать литературу Александра Сергеевича в целом, свободолюбивая тематика занимает в его произведениях ключевое место. В них проявляется острое отвращение к «самовластителям злодеям» и «барству дикому», которое подавляет народ. Концепция свободы у поэта прочно связана с патриотизмом и любовью к Родине, что можно увидеть в его прославленном стихотворении «К Чадаеву», которое из дружественного письма обернулось в политическое. Повесть Пушкина «Капитанская дочка» пропитана исторической правдой. Для ее написания посещает знаменитые места пугачевского восстания, где находит необходимый материал для создания своей новой работы. Стоит отметить, что это творение довольно сложное и имеет, на самом деле, глубокий смысл. В нем ощущается уникальное, виртуозное мастерство поэта. Произведение «Повести Белкина» ознакамливают читателя с угрюмой и тяжелой судьбой народа низкого класса, находящегося под гнетом. Стоит отметить, несмотря на то, что эти повести были написаны в 19 веке, они широко охватывают нынешнюю реальность.

Основные мотивы

С течением жизни юношеские романтические мотивы сменяются разочарованием автора, которое он старается каким-либо образом преодолеть. Впрочем, данный период можно назвать апогеем творчества творца. В это время Пушкин завершил свой роман «Евгений Онегин». Это творение можно одним из наиболее красноречивых произведений русской словесности. Лирика Пушкина все больше носит идеологический смысл, автора начинают тревожить вопросы существования. Однако тема любви у Пушкина занимает также особенное место. В особенности романтическая линия проявляется в таких творениях как «Я помню чудное мгновение», «Я вас любил» и «Мадонна». Пушкин всегда сможет отыскать эпитеты, что передадут магическое особенность любви и ее влияние на человека. Лирика поэта очаровывает нежностью, искренностью и сопереживанием, в ней вся великорусская сила русского народа. Пушкин, как никто другой, был способен ликовать природе, красе, гармонии мира и людских взаимоотношений.

Самые известные произведения Пушкина

Перечень, на самом деле, известных произведений Пушкина можно назвать безграничным, именно поэтому мы составим список самых известных из них работ великого классика, среди которых:

1. Евгений Онегин
2. Капитанская дочка
3. Руслан и Людмила
4. Сказка о царе Салтане

6. Дубровский
7. Песнь о Вещем Олеге
8. Маленькие трагедии
9. Бахчисарайский фонтан

Безусловно, это, лишь некоторые из произведения Александра Сергеевича Пушкина, и, если бы он не стал жертвой дуэли, можно с уверенностью сказать, литературных шедевров у русского классика было бы значительно больше. Стоит отметить, А.С.Пушкин — автор, который сумел создать произведения, в которых глубокий философский смысл переплетается с любовью к жизни, Родине, свободе.

Like many aristocratic families in early 19th-century Russia, Pushkin’s parents adopted French culture, and he and his brother and sister learned to talk and to read in French. They were left much to the care of their maternal grandmother, who told Aleksandr, especially, stories of his ancestors in Russian. From Arina Rodionovna Yakovleva, his old nurse, a freed serf (immortalized as Tatyana’s nurse in 90013 Yevgeny Onegin 90014), he heard Russian folktales.During summers at his grandmother’s estate near Moscow he talked to the peasants and spent hours alone, living in the dream world of a precocious, imaginative child. He read widely in his father’s library and gained stimulus from the literary guests who came to the house. 90007 90002 In 1811 Pushkin entered the newly founded Imperial Lyceum at Tsarskoye Selo (later renamed Pushkin) and while there began his literary career with the publication (1814, in 90013 Vestnik Evropy, 90014 «The Messenger of Europe») of his verse epistle «To My Friend, the Poet.»In his early verse, he followed the style of his older contemporaries, the Romantic poets K.N. Batyushkov and V.A. Zhukovsky, and of the French 17th- and 18th-century poets, especially the Vicomte de Parny. 90007 90002 While at the Lyceum he also began his first completed major work, the romantic poem 90013 Ruslan i Lyudmila 90014 (1820; 90013 Ruslan and Ludmila 90014), written in the style of the narrative poems of Ludovico Ariosto and Voltaire but with an old Russian setting and making use of Russian folklore.Ruslan, modeled on the traditional Russian epic hero, encounters various adventures before rescuing his bride, Ludmila, daughter of Vladimir, grand prince of Kiev, who, on her wedding night, has been kidnapped by the evil magician Chernomor. The poem flouted accepted rules and genres and was violently attacked by both of the established literary schools of the day, Classicism and Sentimentalism. It brought Pushkin fame, however, and Zhukovsky presented his portrait to the poet with the inscription «To the victorious pupil from the defeated master.»90007 Get exclusive access to content from our тисяча сімсот шістьдесят вісім First Edition with your subscription.

Pushkin also joined the Green Lamp association, which, though founded (in 1818) for discussion of literature and history, became a clandestine branch of a secret society, the Union of Welfare.In his political verses and epigrams, widely circulated in manuscript, he made himself the spokesman for the ideas and aspirations of those who were to take part in the Decembrist rising of 1825 році, the unsuccessful culmination of a Russian revolutionary movement in its earliest stage. 90007 90016 Exile in the south 90017 90002 For these political poems, Pushkin was banished from St. Petersburg in May 1820 to a remote southern province. Sent first to Yekaterinoslav (now Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine), he was there taken ill and, while convalescing, traveled in the northern Caucasus and later to Crimea with General Rayevski, a hero of 1812, and his family.The impressions he gained provided material for his «southern cycle» of romantic narrative poems: 90013 Kavkazsky plennik 90014 (1820-21; 90013 The Prisoner of the Caucasus 90014), 90013 Bratya razboyniki 90014 (1821-22; 90013 The Robber Brothers 90014) , and 90013 Bakhchisaraysky fontan 90014 (один тисяча вісімсот двадцять три; 90013 The Fountain of Bakhchisaray 90014). 90007 90002 Although this cycle of poems confirmed the reputation of the author of 90013 Ruslan and Ludmila 90014 and Pushkin was hailed as the leading Russian poet of the day and as the leader of the romantic, liberty-loving generation of the 1820s, he himself was not satisfied with it.In May тисячі вісімсот двадцять три he started work on his central masterpiece, the novel in verse 90013 Yevgeny Onegin 90014 (1833), on which he continued to work intermittently until 1831. In it he returned to the idea of ​​presenting a typical figure of his own age but in a wider setting and by means of new artistic methods and techniques. 90007 90002 90013 Yevgeny Onegin 90014 unfolds a panoramic picture of Russian life. The characters it depicts and immortalizes-Onegin, the disenchanted skeptic; Lensky, the romantic, freedom-loving poet; and Tatyana, the heroine, a profoundly affectionate study of Russian womanhood: a «precious ideal,» in the poet’s own words-are typically Russian and are shown in relationship to the social and environmental forces by which they are molded.Although formally the work resembles Lord Byron’s 90013 Don Juan, 90014 Pushkin rejects Byron’s subjective, romanticized treatment in favour of objective description and shows his hero not in exotic surroundings but at the heart of a Russian way of life. Thus, the action begins at St. Petersburg, continues on a provincial estate, then switches to Moscow, and finally returns to St. Petersburg. 90007 90002 Pushkin had meanwhile been transferred first to Kishinyov (1820-23; now Chişinău, Moldova) and then to Odessa (1823-24).His bitterness at continued exile is expressed in letters to his friends-the first of a collection of correspondence that became an outstanding and enduring monument of Russian prose. At Kishinyov, a remote outpost in Moldavia, he devoted much time to writing, though he also plunged into the life of a society engaged in amorous intrigue, hard drinking, gaming, and violence. At Odessa he fell passionately in love with the wife of his superior, Count Vorontsov, governor-general of the province. He fought several duels, and eventually the count asked for his discharge.Pushkin, in a letter to a friend intercepted by the police, had stated that he was now taking «lessons in pure atheism.» This finally led to his being again exiled to his mother’s estate of Mikhaylovskoye, near Pskov, at the other end of Russia. 90007 90016 At Mikhaylovskoye 90017 90002 Although the two years at Mikhaylovskoye were unhappy for Pushkin, they were to prove one of his most productive periods. Alone and isolated, he embarked on a close study of Russian history; he came to know the peasants on the estate and interested himself in noting folktales and songs.During this period the specifically Russian features of his poetry became steadily more marked. His ballad «Zhenikh» (1825; «The Bridegroom»), for instance, is based on motifs from Russian folklore; and its simple, swift-moving style, quite different from the brilliant extravagance of 90013 Ruslan and Ludmila 90014 or the romantic, melodious music of the «southern» poems, emphasizes its stark tragedy. 90007 90002 In тисячі вісімсот двадцять чотири he published 90013 Tsygany 90014 (90013 The Gypsies 90014), begun earlier as part of the «southern cycle.»At Mikhaylovskoye, too, he wrote the provincial chapters of 90013 Yevgeny Onegin; 90014 the poem 90013 Graf Nulin 90014 (1827; «Count Nulin»), based on the life of the rural gentry; and, finally, one of his major works, the historical tragedy 90013 Boris Godunov 90014 (1831). 90007 90002 The latter marks a break with the Neoclassicism of the French theatre and is constructed on the «folk-principles» of William Shakespeare’s plays, especially the histories and tragedies, plays written «for the people» in the widest sense and thus universal in their appeal.Written just before the Decembrist rising, it treats the burning question of the relations between the ruling classes, headed by the tsar, and the masses; it is the moral and political significance of the latter, «the judgment of the people,» that Pushkin emphasizes. Set in Russia in a period of political and social chaos on the brink of the 17th century, its theme is the tragic guilt and inexorable fate of a great hero-Boris Godunov, son-in-law of Malyuta Skuratov, a favourite of Ivan the Terrible, and here presented as the murderer of Ivan’s little son, Dmitri.The development of the action on two planes, one political and historical, the other psychological, is masterly and is set against a background of turbulent events and ruthless ambitions. The play owes much to Pushkin’s reading of early Russian annals and chronicles, as well as to Shakespeare, who, as Pushkin said, was his master in bold, free treatment of character, simplicity, and truth to nature. Although lacking the heightened, poetic passion of Shakespeare’s tragedies, 90013 Boris 90014 excels in the «convincingness of situation and naturalness of dialogue» at which Pushkin aimed, sometimes using conversational prose, sometimes a five-foot iambic line of great flexibility.The character of the pretender, the false Dmitri, is subtly and sympathetically drawn; and the power of the people, who eventually bring him to the throne, is so greatly emphasized that the play’s publication was delayed by censorship. Pushkin’s ability to create psychological and dramatic unity, despite the episodic construction, and to heighten the dramatic tension by economy of language, detail, and characterization make this outstanding play a revolutionary event in the history of Russian drama.90007 .90000 Collection of poems by Alexandr Pushkin 90001 You are here: Home »Russian Poets» Aleksandr Pushkin 90002 COLLECTION OF POEMS 90002 BY 90002 90002 90006 90007 (Born 1799, Died 1837) 90008 90002 90010 (Translations from Russian) 90011 90012 90007 Aleksandr Pushkin 90008 90015 is, by common agreement — at least among his own compatriots — the greatest of all Russian writers. The major part of his lyrical poetry was written between 1820 and 1830 but some of his poetical masterpieces were composed in the last seven years of his life, when he was turning his attention to prose.A development can be traced from the sparkling ebullience of his early verse — the crowning achievement of which is the first chapter of 90007 Evgeny Onegin, 90008 written in 1823 — to the concetrated expressiveness and restrained power of his later poetry. By effecting a new synthesis between the three main ingredients of the Russian literary idiom — the Church Slovanic, the Western European borrowings, and the spoken vernacular — Pushkin created the language of modern Russian poetry. His personal life was made difficult by his conflicts with the authorities who disapproved of his liberal views.He was killed in a duel.

He was a Russian poet, novelist, dramatist and writer of short stories. 90006 90003 Many think he was the greatest Russian poet. He started the great tradition of Russian literature. Pushkin wrote in a way that no other Russian had done before: he used the Russian language as it was spoken instead of writing in a style based on old church books.His influence on other Russian writers was enormous and several Russian composers set his stories and poems to music. His poetry is very hard to translate well into other languages ​​because the words are full of special meanings in Russian culture. His novels, especially Eugene Onegin, are widely read. 90006 90003 Pushkin was the great-grandson of an African of the Tzar Peter the Great. He was killed in a duel in 1837 at the age of 37. 90006 90003 Pushkin’s father came from an old aristocratic family.On his mother’s side Pushkin had African ancestors. His great-grandfather Abram Gannibal was an Abyssinian who was living in a palace of the Turkish sultan in Istanbul. The Russian ambassador bought him as a present for Peter the Great, the tsar of Russia. Gannibal became a favourite of Peter the Great and he was sent to Paris to study. He became very rich. Pushkin was proud of his great-grandfather and wrote about him in a novel called 90012 The Negro of Peter the Great 90013. 90006 90003 In 19th century Russia all aristocratic families learned to speak French, so Pushkin and his brother and sister spoke and wrote in French more than in Russian.The children were cared for by a nurse, Arina Rodionovna Yakovleva. It was the nurse who taught them to love the Russian language. She told the children Russian folktales. Pushkin also spoke Russian to the peasants and he read many books in his father’s library. 90006 90003 When he was 12 he went to a new school called the Imperial Lyceum at Tsarskoye Selo. Years later this school was renamed Pushkin after their famous pupil. He soon started writing romantic poems in Russian using Russian tales of heroes and adventures.90012 Ruslan and Ludmila 90013 was a poem that was later to be made into an opera by Mikhael Glinka. 90006 90003 In 1817 Pushkin got a job in the foreign office at St. Petersburg. He soon became interested in politics and supported the Decembrist revolt of 1825 when a group of noblemen and army officers tried to put another tsar in power and make him less powerful. Pushkin wrote some political poems. The result was that he was told he had to leave St. Petersburg. He had to spend six years in exile in the south of the country: in the Caucasus and the Crimea.He wrote about his experiences in the south in several romantic narrative poems (long poems which tell a story). He started work on a novel in verse called 90012 Yevgeny Onegin 90013 (or 90012 Eugene Onegin 90013). He did not finish it until 1833. This was to be his most famous work. It was used by many musicians including Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky who made it into an opera. The poem shows typical Russian people in the society of his day. 90006 90003 Pushkin was angry that he was still in exile and he wrote many letters to his friends.Many of these letters were later published. He spent a lot of time drinking, gaming and fighting with swords. He fell in love with the daughter of a Count for whom he was working. The Count managed to get Pushkin exiled to his mother’s estate near Pskov at the other end of Russia. Pushkin spent two years here. He was lonely, but he studied Russian history and talked to the peasants. The poems he wrote were full of ideas from Russian culture. He wrote one of his major works: 90012 Boris Godunov 90013, a drama about a story from Russian history.The composer Modest Mussorgsky later made an opera from it. Boris Godunov was a cruel tsar in the 17th century. Pushkin’s play shows that the ordinary people had a lot of power. This made it difficult for Pushkin to get it published. 90006 90003 After the revolt in 1825 the new tsar Nicholas I realized that Pushkin was by now very famous. He also realized that he had not taken part in the revolt, so he allowed him to return. The tsar said that he himself would censor Pushkin’s works before they were allowed to be published.He said that he was going to be a good tsar and help the poor people (the serfs) to become free. Pushkin was in a difficult position because he could not write anything that the tsar would not like. 90006 90003 He had to be very careful not to say bad things about the rulers of the country. The police watched him very carefully. Yet at this time Pushkin wrote a large number of great works, almost each one of them being the first of their kind in Russian literature. One example is the short story 90012 The Queen of Spades 90013, which Tchaikovsky made into an opera and which was to be a great influence on the novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky.90006 90003 In his last years, Pushkin was again in government service in St. Petersburg. He married in 1831 and had to spend a lot of time in society at court. He wrote more and more prose. He wrote a history of Peter the Great and a historical novel 90012 The Captain’s Daughter 90013. He kept asking the tsar to let him resign from his job and go to the country to spend his time writing. The tsar would not allow that. In 1837 Pushkin was killed in a duel. He had been forced to fight the duel in order to defend his wife’s honour.90006 90003 The Russian language today would be very different if it had not been for Pushkin. Using the language as it was spoken by the people he made it into a language which was simple but which could also express deep feelings. His works were a great influence on later writers like Ivan Turgenev, Ivan Goncharov and Leo Tolstoy. 90012 Yevgeny Onegin 90013 was the first Russian novel which told a story about the society of the time. His works have been translated into all the major languages 90006 .90000 Pushkin Industries 90001 90002 90003 Jacob Weisberg 90004 (Co-founder and CEO) was previously CEO of the Slate Group, co-founder of Panoply, and editor-in-chief of Slate Magazine.
