Translated by Bollingen Prize winner Walter Arndt, Pushkin Threefold is the acclaimed edition of Pushkin's poems that includes three versions of each poem - the original Russian, a close translation into English, and a poetic verse translation reproducing as faithfully as possible the form, spirit, and flavor of the original. This indispensable volume contains 74 shorter poems; 'Tsar Nikita and His Forty Daughters'; 'The Bridegroom'; 'Count Nulin'; 'Tsar Saltan'; 'The Bronze Horseman'; and 22 stanzas from Eugene Onegin.

Review:

'Pushkin was a wholly undistinguished student, a social and political troublemaker, a rake, a cuckold and unquestionably the finest Russian poet of his generation' --New York Times

'All the great Russian writers defer to Alexander Pushkin' --New Yorker
