Evgenij Onegin

A.S. Pushkin, ne dozhidayas′ zaversheniya svoego proizvedeniya, pechatal ego po glavam. CHitateli, soperezhivaya geroyam, s neterpeniem zhdali poyavleniya ocherednoj glavy. Kritika burlila. Evgenij Onegin stal central′nym sobytiem v literaturnoj i obshhestvennoj zhizni pushkinskoj pory. I, kak pokazalo vremya, - central′nym sobytiem i v russkoj kul′ture v celom. Predlagaemaya kniga pomozhet chitatelyu eshhe raz v etom ubedit′sya. Onegin est′ samoe zadushevnoe proizvedenie Pushkina, samoe lyubimoe ditya ego fantazii, i mozhno ukazat′ slishkom na nemnogie tvoreniya, v kotorych lichnost′ poeta otrazilas′ by s takoyu polnotoyu, svetlo i yasno, kak otrazilas′ v Onegine lichnost′ Pushkina, - pisal o romane V.G. Belinskij.
