Delve into the tragic final months of Alexander Pushkin’s life with Pavel Shchegolev’s classic work, "Zloi rok Pushkina. On, Dantes i Goncharova" (Pushkin’s Evil Fate. He, Dantes and Goncharova). This authoritative study by the renowned Pushkin scholar (1877–1931) cuts through the myths and legends surrounding the poet’s fatal duel with Georges Dantes. Shchegolev’s mission was to set aside all unverified and unreliable accounts, providing a coherent reconstruction of actual events based on documents and testimonies.
The book explores the complex web of circumstances that shaped Pushkin’s mental state in his last months—financial troubles, literary and journalistic pressures, family matters, and strained relations with the Emperor, the government, and high society. Shchegolev’s narrative brings a living Pushkin to the page, capturing the poet’s inner turmoil as a result of these diverse factors. This is one of the key works dedicated to Russian culture, offering an unflinching look at a pivotal moment in literary history. Price: 1533.00 RUR.
