Belkin's Tales. The Queen of Spades
14.99 €
The cycle of stories by A. S. Pushkin "Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin" is a literary hoax. The author hides behind the name of the fictitious landowner Belkin, who allegedly publishes stories from life that he wrote down. This technique allows Pushkin to create the illusion of reality. The reader believes both the mystical story of the undertaker and the love drama in "The Snowstorm"; empathizes with the station master and the heroes of the story "The Shot"; follows with interest the romantic collisions in "The Young Lady-Peasant".
The theme of fate and truth, outlined in "Tales of Belkin", is deeply comprehended in the story "The Queen of Spades", where the hero, in his aspirations to occupy a high position, tries to deceive his predetermined fate.
The book is accompanied by illustrations by two artists of the middle of the last century. Aram Vanetsian depicts "Tales of Belkin" as bright and colorful, allowing the reader to imagine the heroes in detail. In his illustrations, Andrei Nikolaev focuses on fate, the power of which is evident in the portraits of Hermann, Lisa and the old countess.
