Publisher's Synopsis
Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket
A jaded aristocrat, a love-struck young woman, and a reckless decision that changes everything-desire and regret collide in this tale of passion and missed chances. When the worldly but indifferent Eugene Onegin moves to the countryside, he shatters the heart of the dreamy and sincere Tatyana, unaware that fate isn't finished with them yet. His arrogance soon leads to a fatal clash with his closest friend, pulling him into a tragedy of his own making. Years later, when their paths cross once more, Onegin discovers that some wounds heal-but others leave scars that never fade.
A masterpiece of Russian literature, Eugene Onegin revolutionized storytelling with its blend of poetic brilliance and deep psychological insight. Alexander Pushkin's use of the unique "Onegin stanza" set a new standard for verse novels, influencing generations of writers. Beyond its artistry, the novel captures the restless spirit of early 19th-century Russia, exploring themes of social class, fate, and unfulfilled desire. Its impact echoes through Russian literature, shaping the works of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and beyond, cementing Pushkin's legacy as the father of Russian literature.
