When the worldweary dandy Eugene Onegin moves from St Petersburg to take up residence in the country estate he has inherited, he strikes up an unlikely friendship with his neighbour, the poet Vladimir Lensky. Coldly rejecting the amorous advances of Tatyana and cynically courting her sister Olga Lenskys fiancee Onegin finds himself dragged into a tragedy of his own making.Eugene Onegin presented here in a sparkling translation by Roger Clarke, along with extensive notes and commentary was the founding text of modern Russian literature, marking a clean break from the highflown classical style of its predecessors and introducing the quintessentially Russian hero and heroine, which would remain the archetypes for novelists throughout the nineteenth century.
