A review by gabrielvelichkova
The Queen of Spades (Penguin Little Classics Book) by Alexander Pushkin

challenging dark emotional reflective fast-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

I really enjoy the clever way Pushkin makes references to other literary works to strengthen his message and give them more depth. 

Such as...

‘Another’s bread is bitter to the taste,’ says Dante, ‘and his staircase hard to climb’;

Makes you wonder what would you do if you were in this man's shoes?
