Queen of Spades, Bronze Horseman, the Gypsies - Paperback

by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (Author)

Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin was a Russian author of the Romantic era who is considered by many to be the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modern Russian literature. Notoriously touchy about his honour, Pushkin fought as many as twenty-nine duels, and was fatally wounded in such an encounter with Georges-Charles de Heeckeren d'Anthès. This volume contains three of his best known works - the moral tale Queen of Spades, and the narrative poems The Bronze Horseman and The Gypsies.
