About the Author
Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) ranks as one of Russia's greatest writers. 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 short story The Queen of Spades, the novel-in-verse Yevgeny Onegin and the long poem The Bronze Horseman, has secured his place as one of the greatest writers ever to have lived. He died aged 37, having been wounded in a duel.
