A short yet fascinating account of Russia's most celebrated writer

Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) is widely regarded as Russia's greatest poet. In this short, exquisite biography, Robert Chandler - award-winning translator of Grossman, Platonov and Teffi - examines Pushkin as writer, lover and public figure. From the poet's early years, through his disagreements with politics and the law, to his untimely death in a duel, Chandler describes both the man himself and his turbulent period of history with elegance and erudition.

Robert Chandler is an acclaimed and award-winning translator of Russian literature. As well as translating works by Teffi for Pushkin Press, including her collection of short stories Subtly Worded and her memoir Memories - From Moscow to the Black Sea, he has edited three anthologies for Penguin Classics and translated a number of books by Vasily Grossman and Andrey Platonov. He runs a monthly translation workshop at Pushkin House and has published poems in the TLS and Poetry Review.
