Book 1. Eugene Onegin: A Novel in Verse
The uniqueness of the verse novel "Eugene Onegin" lies in the fact that Pushkin presented in poetic form an "encyclopedia of Russian life," replete with details and references gracefully woven into the narrative. Behind the light and beautiful Pushkin style, the reader discovers philosophical reflections, metatextual reflections, and ironic remarks. The story of the main characters and the images of Onegin and Tatyana seem so familiar and relatable that they leave no one indifferent. "Eugene Onegin" is not only an immersion into Russian culture, made more captivating by Yury Lotman's "Commentary," but also a school of humanity and empathy. The book reproduces autographs and drawings from A.S. Pushkin's workbooks, as well as illustrations by contemporary artist Victoria Yastrebova.
Book 2. A.S. Pushkin's Novel "Eugene Onegin." Commentary by Yuri Lotman
Yuri Lotman's "Commentary" is rightfully considered one of the best works devoted to A.S. Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin." The tone for the entire "Commentary" is set by the author's opening "Essay on the Noble Life of Onegin's Era," which allows one to immerse oneself in the atmosphere of that era: to see how the surrounding environment—Moscow, St. Petersburg, the countryside—influences the novel's characters, what constitutes a socialite's day, what rituals are required for a duel, what roads and means of transportation are like, and much more. Then, verse by verse, Lotman analyzes the novel to provide explanations essential for understanding Pushkin's text: he reveals the meaning of words, objects, and phenomena of the period; he uncovers reminiscences and hidden quotations, introducing the reader to the context of the era. According to Lotman, understanding Eugene Onegin is "a task requiring labor, love, and culture." The scholar has done everything possible to help readers discern the full depth of this great work beyond the laconicism and simplicity of Pushkin's language. The publication contains photographic reproductions of paintings, engravings, and photographs of everyday objects from museum collections worldwide, including the All-Russian A.S. Pushkin Museum.
