Eugene Onegin is the master work of the poet whom Russians regard as the fountainhead of their literature. Set in 1820s imperial Russia, Pushkin's novel in verse follows the emotions and destiny of three men - Onegin the bored fop, Lensky the minor elegiast, and a stylized Pushkin himself - and the fates and affections of three women - Tatyana Eugene Onegin, A Novel in Verse is a novel in verse written by Alexander Pushkin. Onegin is considered a classic of Russian literature, and its eponymous protagonist has served as the model for a number of Russian literary heroes. It was published in serial form between 1825 and 1832. The first complete edition was published in 1833, and the currently accepted version is based on the 1837 "Eugene Onegin" by Alexander PushkinTranslated from Russian into English by JAMES E. FALENEugene Onegin is the master work of the poet whom Russians regard a EUGENE ONÉGUINE [Onegin]: A Romance of Russian Life in Verse By Alexander Pushkin Translated from the Russian by Lieut.-Col. [Henry] Spalding London: Macmillan and Co. 1881 PREFACE Eugene Onéguine, the chief poetical work of Russia's greatest poet, having been translated into all the principal languages of Europe except our own, I hope that Evgenii Onegin is best known in the West through Tchaikovsky's opera Eugene Onegin.
