A review by secretsoda
Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin
5.0
What a beautiful book. Nothing extra; in perfect t harmony with itself. I only wish that I knew Russian and could read the book in the words of the author.
I found the verse to be distracting and hard to follow at first, but after getting about a third of the way through I was immersed.
This book was like Russian Shakespeare. Incredibly well crafted. The flow and pacing was perfect.
I can see why Russians revere Pushkin. His writing was easy to follow, yet proudly insightful.
Through the work I gained a greater understanding of not taking others for granted. Both Eugene’s young friend and his admirer were not fully appreciated until it was too late.
