Luís's Reviews > Eugénio Onéguin

What to say about this "Eugène Onegin," oh so sublime work, bearing the name of a character oh how apart ... I would like to give thanks for the magnificence of this song with my simple words, and I immediately feel that this will prove to be a difficult task ... But I'm going anyway!
Let's talk about the plot first. Eugène Onegin is a love story between Onegin and Tatiana; it is an impossible love story. But, even if it is made impossible and lost forever because of the blindness and contempt of Onegin, a jaded character tired by all that constitutes life, particularly by men and especially love. The whole punctuated by the poet's intervention is Pushkin, who delivers to us with delight his wit.
We also have a magnificent encounter through this novel, that of the touching and tender Lenski, a young romantic poet who only responds to the heart's voice and follows this same path, which will make him lose. His precious life for The Love. Thus, he appears as an anti-Onegin in his amorous outpourings and faith in life, and his sacrifice makes him a splendid hero.
As for the form - please don't miss out on so much beauty - I found the verse writing divine and couldn't resist the urge to read aloud. So, this incredible song was offered to us by Pushkin, the Great Alexander Pushkin.
In short, I loved this novel, which is nothing more than a masterpiece of literature in Russian and worldwide.
