Alexander Pushkin, Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky · 2016
86/100
👍 Worth It
Pushkin's the reason Russian literature exists at all, and this is the first time his full run of prose has landed together in one English volume from a translation team the critics trust. If you've only met him through poetry excerpts, The Captain's Daughter alone is worth the price of admission — sharp, human, and genuinely moving.
