Collected Narrative and Lyrical Poetry

From the back cover: “Alexander Pushkin (1799 – 1837) was Russia’s greatest poet and for many years Walter Arndt has been recognized as one of the most important translators of his verse. This volume is the culmination of his work on Pushkin’s narrative and lyrical poetry. As soon as the reader gets into the swing of Mr. Arndt’s versions – particularly those of Pushkin’s longer poems – he loses any sense of artificiality and is carried along by the story and pace and dash with which it is recounted.”
