Rusalka, Mozart and Salieri, The Gypsies

The poems and tales of A.S. Pushkin open an amazing world where complex things are presented simply and engagingly. The collection includes such works as “Mozart and Salieri,” “Rusalka,” “The Tale of the Golden Cockerel,” “The Gypsies,” and others. These masterpieces are not only read, but reread with pleasure. Each subsequent reading reveals a new facet of the human soul, about which the Russian poet knew so much.
You will encounter the genius Mozart, poisoned out of Salieri's envy. A lyrical story about an abandoned young peasant woman who could not withstand her own passion and drowned herself, fantastically drawing after her the object of her love. Tsar Dadon, who did not keep his promise, the breaking of which cost him his life. Gypsy romance and love of freedom with dramatic consequences…
Picturesque scenes, melodic language, simplicity of expression — all this made the books of A.S. Pushkin attractive not only to his contemporaries. Poetic legends, fairy tales, and dramas still evoke a lively response today, astonishing with an amazing combination of lightness and depth.
