《黑桃皇后》('Pikovaya dama')起初于1834年以俄文出版,是俄罗斯文学中极为著名的故事之一,并激发了柴可夫斯基的同名歌剧;在《驿站长》('Stantsionnyy smotritel'')中,他重新创作了浪子的寓言,起初于1830年以俄文出版的《已故伊万·彼得罗维奇·贝尔金的故事》(Povesti pokoynogo Ivana Petrovicha Belkina)。极具娱乐性的《尼基塔沙皇和他的四十个女儿》是一首比较粗俗的早期诗歌;而受圣彼得堡彼得大帝雕像启发而创作的感人至深的叙事诗《青铜骑士》则是他极具影响力的作品之一。本卷还包括他抒情诗精选。

The Queen of Spades and Selected Works is a brand new English translation of two of Alexander Pushkin's greatest short stories, 'The Queen of Spades' and 'The Stationmaster', together with the poem 'The Bronze Horseman', extracts from Yevgeny Onegin and Boris Godunov, and a selection of his poetic work.
'The Queen of Spades' ('Pikovaya dama'), originally published in Russian in 1834, is one of the most famous tales in Russian literature, and inspired the eponymous opera by Tchaikovsky; in 'The Stationmaster' ('Stantsionnyy smotritel''), originally published in Russian in The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin (Povesti pokoynogo Ivana Petrovicha Belkina) in 1830, he reworks the parable of the Prodigal Son; the hugely entertaining 'Tsar Nikita and his Forty Daughters' is a bawdier early poem; and the deeply moving narrative poem 'The Bronze Horseman', inspired by a St Petersburg statue of Peter the Great, is one of his most influential works. The volume also includes a selection of his best lyric poetry.
Translated by Anthony Briggs, The Queen of Spades and Selected Works is the perfect introduction to Alexander Pushkin's finest work.
Alexander Pushkin was born in 1799. He published his first poem when he was fifteen, and in 1820 his first long poem-Ruslan and Lyudmila-made him famous. His work, including the novel-in-verse Yevgeny Onegin, the poem The Bronze Horseman, the play Boris Godunov and the short story 'The Queen of Spades', has secured his place as one of the greatest writers, in any language, ever to have lived. He died aged just 37, having been wounded in a duel-Pushkin's 29th-by his brother-in-law.
