Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin

We present to your attention an audiobook by Vikenty Veresaev—“Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin.” This book is not another biographical or bibliographic reference guide, nor a brief excerpt from Wikipedia. No—you’re in for something special: a meeting with a “living” book about a living Pushkin. What was he like, how did he look, what did he study, what did he dream about, who were his friends and who did he quarrel with? First and foremost, this is a story about a person, and only then about the great poet.

Pushkin’s image—both external and internal—is reconstructed from the recollections of his contemporaries and from historical documents. It’s easy to imagine how complex and painstaking this work was. Here is how V. Veresaev himself wrote about it: “Over a number of years I made for myself excerpts from primary sources concerning Pushkin’s character, his moods, habits, appearance, etc. As the excerpts accumulated, I put them into a systematic order. And then, one day while reviewing the collected excerpts, I unexpectedly saw that before me was an exceptionally original and fascinating book, in which Pushkin rises completely as if alive…” V. Veresaev.

Now you have the opportunity to get acquainted with the audiobook version of this amazing book.
