Pushkin: Queen of Spades, Paperback / softback Book

Pushkin: Queen of Spades Paperback / softback

Part of the Russian Texts series

Paperback / softback

Description

Pikovaia dama (The Queen of Spades) has continued to fascinate readers since its first publication in 1834, and has been successfully adapted to both operatic stage and screen. The most generally admired of Pushkin’s stories, it has earned a high place amongst his works as a whole and in many ways is the embodiment of ‘essential’ Pushkin. With its play on both psychology and the fantastic, its tersely precise language and its openness to multiple readings, it continues to mesmerise critics, teachers and students alike. This book contains the complete text in Russian of The Queen of Spades, with an introduction to Pushkin's life and work.

The text is also supplemented with extensive notes in English and a complete vocabulary.
