Synopsis
"In an era of inept and ignorant imitations, whose piped-in background music has hypnotized innocent readers into fearing literality's salutary jolt, some reviewers were upset by the humble fidelity of my version. . . ." Such was Vladimir Nabokov's response to the storm of controversy aroused by the first edition of his literal translation of Eugene Onegin. This bold rendering of the Russian masterpiece, together with Nabokov's detailed and witty commentary, is itself a work of enduring literary interest, and reflects a lifelong admiration for Pushkin on the part of one of this century's most brilliant stylists.

From the Back Cover
Available for the first time in an edition of two individual paperback books, this volume contains Nabokov's introduction and his translation of Pushkin's novel.
Review
"Mr. Nabokov has not merely rendered the most precious gem of Russia's poetic heritage into limpid, literal poetic translation. He has given Pushkin's wondrous lines the glow and sparkle of their Russian original."---Harrison E. Salisbury, The New York Times
"Perhaps [Nabokov's] ultimate masterpiece."---J. Thomas Shaw, Slavic and East European Journal
