Pushkin's duel was the result of a sophisticated plot, in which Georges d'Anthès was relegated to the role of executor. Despite numerous theories and numerous documents that have emerged over nearly two centuries, the names of all those who orchestrated the poet's murder remain unknown to this day. Meanwhile, the most balanced and objective analysis of the circumstances of the tragedy was provided in the first days after the duel by the then-little-known hussar Lermontov. With extraordinary artistic power, heralding the emergence of a new genius, Mikhail Lermontov revealed the true reasons for the poet's murder and, to some extent, thwarted the plans of the conspirators.

This edition, prepared using the "book-within-a-book" technique, provides a detailed line-by-line commentary on the great poem, allowing the reader to reconstruct the events of those years and learn about the circumstances under which "The Death of a Poet" was composed.
