This is one of the Classics of Russian Literature. Includes a section From the Editor. With this book, Pushkin started what was a new epoch in Russian literature, introducing into Russian prose realistic and democratic trends. For the first time, the common man, his everyday life, his tastes, joys and sufferings, the essential tragedy of his existence in a world of social injustice, were shown in literature. For the first time, simple, clear narrative was substituted for high-flown description, far-fetched comparisons, and pompous metaphors quite alien to Russian speech, while colloquial dialogue and popular idiom acquired immense significance, lending freshness and resilience to the language. Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (6 June [O.S. 26 May] 1799 - 10 February [O.S. 29 January] 1837) was a Russian poet, playwright, and novelist of the Romantic era who is considered by many to be the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modern Russian literature. He published his first poem at the age of 15, and was widely recognized by the literary establishment by the time of his graduation from the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum. Upon graduation from the Lycee, Pushkin recited his controversial poem "Ode to Liberty", one of several that led to his exile by Tsar Alexander I of Russia. While under the strict surveillance of the Tsar's political police and unable to publish, Pushkin wrote his most famous play, the drama Boris Godunov. His novel in verse, Eugene Onegin, was serialized between 1825 and 1832. M. Gorky called Pushkin a writer who, brimming over with impressions of life, strove to portray them in prose and poetry with the utmost truth and realism, achieving his goal with all the brilliancy of genius. His works are the precious testimony of an intelligent, experienced, and truthful man to the manners, ways, and ideas of a certain epoch; they are, in fact, brilliant illustrations to Russian history. The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin is a series of five short stories and a fictional editorial introduction by Russian author Aleksandr Pushkin. The collection is opened with the editorial, in which Pushkin pretends to be the verbose publisher of Belkin's tales. The tales themselves are not related to one another, except that they are all said in the introduction to be stories told by various people to a recently deceased landowner, Ivan Petrovich Belkin. The introduction continues to say that Belkin was an interesting and mysterious man, even to the point that the woman he left his estate to had never met him. It is also mentioned that Belkin's favorite pastime was to collect and hear stories, several of which are to be presented to the reader. First Edition thus; presumed First Printing thus. D. A.
