"Пиковая дама" уже давно признана одним из величайших рассказов в мире. В этом классическом литературном описании азартных игр Александр Пушкин исследует природу одержимости. Намеки на оккультизм и готику чередуются со сценами петербургского высшего общества в истории страстного стремления Германа овладеть случаем и сколотить состояние за карточным столом. В основе напряженного сюжета лежит ироническое отношение к романтическому мечтателю и
социальному изгою.
В этот том вошли еще три крупных произведения пушкинской прозы, начиная от остроумных пародий на сентиментализм и высокую мелодраму в "Сказках Белкина" и заканчивая ранним экспериментом с воссозданием прошлого в "Арапе Петра Великого". Завершает его роман-шедевр "Капитанская дочка", в котором историческая фантастика в манере сэра Вальтера Скотта сочетается с колоритом и приемами русской сказки в повествовании о бунте и романтике.
Книга на английском языке.
The Queen of Spades has long been acknowledged as one of the world's greatest short stories. In this classic literary representation of gambling, Alexander Pushkin explores the nature of obsession. Hints of the occult and gothic alternate with scenes of St Petersburg high-society in the story of the passionate Hermann's quest to master chance and make his fortune at the card-table. Underlying the taut plot is an ironical treatment of the romantic dreamer and
social outcast.
This volume contains three other major works of Pushkin's fiction, moving from the witty parodies of sentimentalism and high melodrama in The Tales of Belkin to an early experiment with recreating the past in Peter the Great's Blackamoor. It concludes with the novel-length masterpiece The Captain's Daughter, which combines historical fiction in the manner of Sir Walter Scott with the colour and devices of the Russian fairy-tale in a narrative of rebellion and romance.
These new translations, as well as being meticulously faithful to the original, do full justice to the elegance and fluency of Pushkin's prose. The Introduction provides insightful readings of the stories and places them in their European literary context. A chronology of the Pugachov Uprising illuminates the events in The Captain's Daughter.
