Onegin

Onegin In the original “Eugene Onegin” was written in Russian by A.S. Pushkin. Pushkin was a famous Russian writer known for such novels as “Queen Of Spades”, “Belkin Tales”, “Eugene Onegin”, such poems as “Ruslan and Ludmila”, “Tzar Sultan”, and many others which greatly influenced the 19th century literature of the Russian culture. There were four translations during 125 years since Pushkin’s death. From the early age Pushkin lived in the highest Russian social and intellectual circles. He was educated in Tzarskoe selo where he was prepared to take on high responsibilities. Pushkin’s aristocratic background was reflected on Eugene Onegin. Just Onegin Pushkin was engaged in dancing, gambling and dueling. However, in the end of the first chapter, Pushkin pointed out that even though he applied some characteristics of his own to the Eugene’s character, Onegin was not drawn from Pushkin’s self. They are two different individuals that should not be compared. In the first chapter, Onegin was taking care of his sick uncle, who was at the death’s door.
