SUMMARY

"Young Pushkin was first published in serial form between 1935 and 1943 and immediately achieved classic status in Russia. Although the author did not live to accomplish his full epic scheme, "on the origins, development, and death of our national poet," he did complete the first part, his fictional masterpiece of Pushkin's early years. This is the first English translation." "In a blend of encyclopedic knowledge and creative imagination, Tynyanov brings early nineteenth century Russia to life - Napoleonic invasion, rapid political change, and a vast gallery of fascinating characters, including Pushkin's unusual family with its African blood stemming from his great-grandfather Abram Hannibal; Tsar Alexander I; and Pushkin's classmates at the Lycee at Tsarskoye Selo. At the center of it all is the young Pushkin, explosive, unpredictable, totally absorbed, constantly scribbling verses, consorting with women twice his age, and living it up in the capital with hussars and actress, before being exiled for his reckless liberal verse. Tynyanov's novel not only captures Pushkin's impulsive, swift genius but deftly foreshadows his place in Russian history and his own future. Includes notes, family tree, and a selection of Pushkin's early poems."--BOOK JACKET.Tynyanov, Yury is the author of 'Young Pushkin', published 2008 under ISBN 9781585679621 and ISBN 1585679623.
