Written beautifully but the story is meh 
Pushkins writing style is sooo sooo good and I’m really impressed at his approach to write a story but in poetry form.
I hate all of the characters and

rip lenskiy

Story stretched a lot but it was fun to read this book together with my mom because she told me more details and funfacts about the author and the book and even tho I fell asleep couple of times it was quite nice bonding time

The Founder of Modern Russian Literature™ relates in verse the tale of the titular dandy and his ill-fated friendships with two young Romantics. While I could appreciate Pushkin’s functionally-immortal story and its Decemberist undercurrents, I didn’t vibe with Stanley Mitchell’s polite, clumsy translation.

“So, our light-headed tribe, now roaming,
Grows up, gets animated, seethes,
Sees off its ancestors with wreaths.
But our time, too, is coming, coming” (52)
