"...Each of us has his Pushkin who remains the same for us all. He becomes part of our life at its very beginning and never leaves us until the end.

"I first came to know and love Pushkin at the age when it is far sweeter to listen to a reading than to read for oneself... The Captain's Daughter was for me the first book in my life that I read independently. I remember its format and its odour; I remember how happy I was that I had discovered for myself this story that no one had ever told me before.

"I was enthralled by it and sat at the window until it was dark, and when I came to the blizzard in the Orenburg steppe, I saw that it was snowing outside, and this left me with the ineradicable impression of a kind of magic power emanating from Pushkin's pages. That evening I became a book reader, and it is infinitely dear to me that I owe this to Pushkin. But who does not owe him the joy of discovering at the very dawn of life a well-spring from which one can drink for the rest of one's life! "

"Is it a long time since you read through Pushkin's prose? Do me a favour and read all the tales of Belkin from the beginning. Every writer should study them. I did this recently and cannot convey to you the beneficial influence that this reading had on me."

Lev Tolstoy

"In Pushkin are hidden all the seeds and beginnings from which subsequently developed all the types and from of Russian art..."

Ivan Goncharov

The present volume of the selected works of Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) contains the lyrical masterpieces written between 1818 and 1836; the verse dramas Mozart and Salieri (1830), The Stone Guest (1830), The Covetous Knight (1830); the folk drama The Water-Nymph (1830); the poems The Gypsies (1826) and The Bronze Horseman (1833); and the fairy-tales in verse based on themes from the legendary past of Russian folklore and magic.

The volume begins with a few words about Pushkin by a leading Soviet poet Alexander Tvardovsky. The illustrations include Pushkin's drawings, portraits of the poet, his relatives and his friends, and pictures of places associated with his name.

"...Pushkin is one of those creative geniuses, those great historical forces who, while working for the present, are preparing the future."

Vissarion Belinsky

"...Pushkin ... is the great Russian poet of the people, the creator of fairy-tales enchanting in their beauty and wit, the author of the first realist novel, Eugene Onegin, the author of our best historical drama, Boris Godunov, a poet hitherto unsurpassed for the beauty of his verse and his power of giving expression to feeling and thought, a poet who was the progenitor of our great Russian literature."

Maxim Gorky

"Pushkin is an extraordinary phenomenon and, perhaps, a unique phenomenon of the Russian spirit: he is what a Russian might perhaps be after two hundred years of development. In him, the Russian world of nature, the Russian soul, the Russian language and the Russian character were reflected with the purity, the purified beauty of a landscape reflected on the convex surface of an optic glass."

Nikolai Gogol
