Description

Travel is a special theme in Pushkin’s biography: the chronicle of the poet’s wanderings is woven into the fabric of his life. It’s impossible not to wonder how many inspired lines were born beneath the clatter of horse hooves and the rattle of wheels. And how many road impressions later—back in the study—“grew into” the living poetic fabric of Pushkin’s masterpieces… Truly, the road muse was kind to the poet.

The book “Pushkin Travels. From Moscow to Erzurum” consists of two parts: “The Poet’s Earthly Wanderings” and “Travels in Time and Space.”

Remarkably, our first “unstable poet”—Pushkin, who dreamed of “foreign lands”—seemed to have visited them even after his earthly life. A genius can foresee much. But even Pushkin, who predicted his all-Russian and European fame, could not imagine that his heroes would “speak” in almost every language in the world!

The Great Traveler Pushkin: his wanderings beyond time and earthly boundaries continue.
