Eugene Onegin. A Novel in Verse

Hardly anyone in your circle is unfamiliar with «Eugene Onegin». The novel in verse is considered the most significant work of A. S. Pushkin and has been the subject of various studies for many years. But the main thing is not even this. Centuries change, while readers continue to enjoy the famous Onegin stanza and discover new meanings. «My uncle has the most honest rules…», «I am writing to you—what more can I say?..», «I foresee everything: the explanation of the sad mystery will offend you…»—lines and even entire excerpts from the novel are forever etched in the memory of everyone who once studied in school. And perhaps, you cannot imagine a better fate for a literary work. The novel is published with illustrations by the renowned St. Petersburg artist Alexey Reypolsky, who has designed more than 70 book editions throughout his career. A professional painter, Reypolsky is known not only for his deep understanding of each literary work he deals with but also for his precision in portraying the smallest details. The work on the illustrations for «Eugene Onegin» took a year. The scenes depicted in soft pastel tones beautifully showcase A. S. Pushkin's transition from romanticism, especially noticeable in the first chapters, to realism, bringing the characters to life before the reader's eyes. A publication deserving a place in any collection.
