"О люди! все похожи вы
На прародительницу Эву:
Что вам дано, то не влечет,
Вас непрестанно змий зовет
К себе, к таинственному древу:
Запретный плод вам подавай,
А без того вам рай не рай."

Superb, absolutely beautiful reading experience. I'm not a huge reader of poetry but I can appreciate a masterpiece when I read one. Easy to see why Pushkin is held in such high esteem.
I look forward to reading this again, maybe a different translation or as an audiobook.

I was very surprised by how funny, insightful, and perennially relevant Pushkin is. Obviously translation of poetry depends a lot on the translator, and this translation had a wonderful sound and shape, it was engaging and delightful. A pleasure to read, direct, reflective— I see why Pushkin is venerated!

the original superfluous man - the relationship between fiction and real life.
a disillusioned aristocrat who is drawn into tragic situations through his inability or unwillingness to take positive action to prevent them.
the deadly inhumanity of social convention. Onegin is its bearer in this work. His induction into selfishness, vanity, and indifference occupies the introduction, and he is unable to escape it when he moves to the country.
