Selected Poetry

Autor Alexander Pushkin Traducere de Antony Wood
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 apr 2020
WINNER OF THE READ RUSSIA PRIZE 2020

Alexander Pushkin established what we know as Russian literature. This collection includes his strongly personal lyric verse, which springs spontaneously from his everyday life - his numerous loves, his exile, his hectic life in St Petersburg - while the narrative poems here, from exotic Southern tales to comic parodies and fairy tales of enchanted tsars, display his endless ability to surprise. His landmark workThe Bronze Horseman, with its ghostly central figure of Peter the Great, holds the meaning of all Russian history. Antony Wood's translations reveal the variety, inventiveness and perfection of Pushkin's verse.

Recenzii

'Wood's lively translations grasp the irrepressible sense of freedom which is the poet's hallmark ...Pushkin is lucky in Antony Wood. Pleasure is to be found on every page of this book'
ThisSelected Poetryby Antony Wood supersedes all previous translations... Wood's 'The Bronze Horseman' gives us Pushkin at his most tragic. 'Count Nulin' shows him at his most light-hearted. 'The Tale of Tsar Saltan' bounces along with delightful vitality. Even with the delicately musical short lyrics - still harder to translate - Wood's success rate is remarkable ...The result is a more rounded picture of Pushkin - in many ways the most universal of poets
