Pushkin's Button Format: Paperback
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 34.26 $Pushkin's Button recreates the four months of Pushkin's life leading up to the fatal duel in the snow on January 27, 1837. Many theories have been advanced about the death of one of Russia's greatest artists, none of them wholly satisfactory. Serena Vitale has opened the archives and studies the case more closely, and more imaginatively, than anyone before her. Her brilliant detective work unearths fascinating, revealing details, including a button missing from Pushkin's Kamerjunker uniform. "Pushkin's Button will keep all constituencies of reader fastened to their seats, as they watch Petersburg's lofty denizens leave no moment of the hurtling Pushkin scandal unrecorded or not speculated on."—Monika Greenleaf,Los Angeles Times"[A] deliciously entertaining whydunit, a book in which every page seduces with a riddle. . . . Vivacious, seductive, original."—Michael Dirda, Washington Post"A delightful combination of retrograde pleasures (court balls, the demise of a doomed genius) and primary sources. . . . Illuminating."—Richard Lamb, New York Times Book Review"A book almost impossible to put down."—George Steiner, New Yorker

Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts Moscow Paint
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 64.00 $This review is from: Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts Moscow Paint...There was a passion for art, and two excellent museums that housed various collections, the Hermitage in what was then Leningrad (present day St. Petersburg) and the Pushkin (named after Russia's most famous poet) in Moscow. They produced several glossy picture books, with excellent plates of the paintings within the museums, and sold them for almost nothing. They are, literally, a "steal," if you can purchase them at the original price, and fortunately Amazon has a few "secondary sellers" who currently selling good used copies for almost original prices. Be careful as to the edition you buy: mine dates from 1988, and I acquired it in the Pushkin museum bookstore in 1990. Irina Antonova wrote a useful 20 page introduction to the museum, and briefly describes the 137 full color plates, one each for the paintings. The Pushkin's foundation-stone was laid in 1898, and it opened to the public in 1912. It survived both World Wars (during the Second, the paintings were removed to Siberia for safekeeping). The plates are displayed in rough chronological order, starting with religious-themed iconic works from the 12th Century. In a few pages the paintings come from the Renaissance period, with Brueghel's Rubens and Rembrandt's. A substantial number of French paintings, commencing for the 1700's were also acquired, and include Vernet's, Boucher's, and Delaroix. The collection includes some from England, including John Constable's "View of Highgate from Hampstead Heath." The next significant phase involves the Impressionists, including Corot, Manet, Degas, Pissarro, Sisley, Renoir, Cezanne and Monet. The concluding works include the artists Leger, Edvard Munch, and others. This book includes an index of all the plates, with dates and descriptions of the work. There are several other quality productions of paintings in these museums, all published by the Soviet Union in its waning days,

Pushkin and the Genres of Madness : The Masterpieces of 1833
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 29.74 $ In 1833 Alexander Pushkin began to explore the topic of madness, a subject little explored in Russian literature before his time. The works he produced on the theme are three of his greatest masterpieces: the prose novella The Queen of Spades, the narrative poem The Bronze Horseman, and the lyric "God Grant That I Not Lose My Mind." Gary Rosenshield presents a new interpretation of Pushkin’s genius through an examination of his various representations of madness. Pushkin brilliantly explored both the destructive and creative sides of madness, a strange fusion of violence and insight. In this study, Rosenshield illustrates the surprising valorization of madness in The Queen of Spades and "God Grant That I Not Lose My Mind" and analyzes The Bronze Horseman’s confrontation with the legacy of Peter the Great, a cornerstone figure of Russian history. Drawing on themes of madness in western literature, Rosenshield situates Pushkin in a greater framework with such luminaries as Shakespeare, Sophocles, Cervantes, and Dostoevsky providing an insightful and absorbing study of Russia’s greatest writer.

Pushkin
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 64.00 $A compelling biography of the father of Russian literature, including new material relating to his death, by an acclaimed biographer and poet, published to tie in with the 2nd centenary of Pushkins death. Pushkin was Russia's greatest poet and his prose tales led directly to the flowering of the Russian novel through the 19th century. His story is a marvellous one, as poignant as Mozart's whom he resembled in his precocity, lack of guile and appetite forlife. Witty and incisively intelligent, he was nevertheless an object of suspicion for 2 Tsars. His genius aroused the enmity of beaurocrats who blocked him at every turn, and after a hopelessly unsuccessful marriage he was murdered in a dual aged 37.

Pushkin: A Biography
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 24.00 $Pushkin is Russia’s greatest and best-loved poet: a romantic, enigmatic figure who, during a brief but turbulent life, changed Russian literature forever with his vital and passionate verse. Many of his works—including The Bronze Horseman, The Queen of Spades, and his extraordinary novel in verse, Eugene Onegin—have become classics of world literature and are as exhilarating to read today as they were when first published. Now we have the first full biography in sixty years of this literary legend.Born in Moscow in 1799, he was descended on one side from an ancient noble family, on the other from a black African slave of Peter the Great. At the age of twenty he was expelled from St. Petersburg for his satirical writings. He remained in internal exile, under the direct supervision of the emperor, for the next seven years, and throughout his life attracted official disapproval for his political and religious beliefs—and for his many love affairs. In 1831, despite mounting debts from gambling and an insecure income, he married the eighteen-year-old Natalya Goncharova, who soon became recognized as one of the most beautiful women of St. Petersburg society. The attentions paid her by a Guards officer, the French émigré d’Anthès, roused Pushkin to fury. In the subsequent duel, fought on January 27, 1837, he was fatally wounded. He died in agony two days later.This superb, authoritative biography—winner of England’s prestigious Samuel Johnson Prize—frees the complex figure of Pushkin the man from the heroic simplicity of Pushkin the myth, making palpable the poet’s rare energy, talents, and spirit. Telling Pushkin’s story with exacting scholarship, elegant wit, and acute insight, T. J. Binyon gives us a revelation of the poet and the man.

Pushkin House (American Literature)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 21.64 $No other contemporary novel provides such clear insight into the Russian mind and way of life as Andrei Bitov's Pushkin House. First published in the United States in 1987 and highly praised for its inventiveness, Pushkin House is a contemporary literary masterpiece. Though the novel's focus is a love affair between Lyova and Faina, the novel's true subject is an investigation of the corruption of Soviet intellectual life and history. Working within many of the confines imposed upon him during the Soviet regime, Bitov ingeniously draws upon Russian literary models, especially that of Nabokov, in order to parody and satirize the stifling society about him, as well as Russian literary tradition.
