Evgenii Onegin is best known in the West through Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene Onegin. But the original narrative poem (consisting of 389 stanzas, the form of which has become known as the "Pushkin sonnet") is one of the landmarks of Russian literature.

Pushkin’s unique style proves timeless in its exploration of love, life, passion, jealousy, and the consequences of social convention.

This magnificent novel is about the murder of a miserly, aged pawnbroker and her younger sister by a radical, destitute St. Petersburg student named Raskolnikov, and the emotional, mental, and physical effects that follow. It is a remarkable masterpiece about a man's turbulent inner life and his relationship to others and to society at large. Dostoevsky explored the human condition on many levels in this great piece, and among the main themes the novel explores is the rather strange theory that criminals have a spiritual need to be punished - that indeed they demand it.

Nicht der Leser ist der "Dummie“, es ist auch nicht die auffällig oft auftretende Figur in der russischen Literatur (nicht nur) sondern es sind ebenso die Autoren und ihre Anhänger, die sich der Anmaßung dieser Literaten gedankenlos unterwerfen. Denn mal ehrlich: Was ist das Großartige, das Weltverändernde an der russischen Literatur, der russischen Seele? Dass sie das von sich selber glaubt? Ist ihre Literatur unter all dem Größenwahn tatsächlich eine gute? Sir Galahad, die leuchtende Rittergestalt, ist dem Phänomen im Jahre 1925 auf der Spur.
