Distinguished by James E. Falen s masterful use of contemporary American English and handling of rhyme and meter, this new translation of Alexander Pushkin s verse novel ably provides English readers with the chance to experience the work of the poet Russians regard as the fountainhead of their literature.The introduction includes Falen s discussion of how his translation compares with those of his predecessors and a general analysis of the poem. Nearly one hundred notes annotate the text."

"One of the living wonders of Nabokov's Nova Zembla is this huge scholarly miracle. . . . [W]hat Nabokov has done is to throw a bridge between Russian and American Culture, a bridge built out of his all-informative commentary and agonizingly honest translation."--Virginia Quarterly Review
James E. Falen is Professor of Russian, University of Tennessee at Knoxville. His previous publications include "Isaak Babel: Russian Master of the Short Story."
