Mozart and Salieri: The Little Tragedies (English and Russian Edition)

On first publication Antony Wood's translations of Pushkin's cycle of "Little Tragedies", of which MOZART AND SALIERI is the best known, were widely praised. Long unavailable, they have now been revised in light of public performances and current Russian interpretations. Pushkin's four miniature verse dramas, each focusing on a single extreme psychological moment, contain the finest blank verse in Russian literature and are central to the Russian dramatic repertoire.
