Comments on the novel "Evgeny Onegin." Biography of A. S. Pushkin. Lotman Yu.M., Pushkin A.S.

Soviet and Russian literary critic and critic Yuri Mikhailovich Lotman (1922 - 1993), it is no coincidence that became the laureate of the Academic Prize named after A. S. Pushkin. He was always attentive to details and cleverly noticed the meanings of literary masterpieces hidden between the lines. Opening the features of the novel in the verses of Eugene Onegin, he draws attention to the little things that slip away from the modern reader. Explains archaic words and distinguishes archetypes of literary heroes, builds the chronology of events and observes folklore motifs. His comments allow not only to look at the work from a different angle, but give the opportunity to see the greatness of the novel and its cultural meaning.

The book also includes the biography of Alexander Pushkin.
