Racconti poetici by Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin
QR code
Racconti poetici by Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin is a collection of narrative poems written in the early 19th century. Framed by an Italian translator’s introduction and notes, the volume showcases verse tales of love, freedom, and Russian life, featuring figures such as a Russian captive in the Caucasus and the Circassian girl who aids him. The opening of the collection presents a dedication and a lengthy biographical sketch that traces the poet’s lineage,
education, early fame, southern exile, major works, and fatal duel, followed by the translator’s remarks on his method and a brief primer on the Russian language. It then launches into The Prisoner of the Caucasus, where a Russian soldier is captured by Circassians and tended by a young woman who falls in love with him; emotionally scarred, he cannot fully return her feeling, she frees him at night, and he escapes as she vanishes in the river, after which an epilogue turns to the Caucasus wars and their legacy. The section closes with the beginning of Count Nulin, setting a lively country-house hunting morning and a drowsy lady at the window. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
