Plain paperback binding with gold and white coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. The biography of the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. "... He taught his countrymen to respect ' plain' writing about humble people. Yet Pushkin's own life was paradoxically complex and proud. Is natural gifts the poetry bloomed early in life but all too often were subordinated by his numerous escapades. Frequently under surveillance or house arrest for his antiauthoritarian opinions and activities, Pushkin finally prompted Nicholas I to become his personal sensor in the initial stage of attention between the artist and the Russian state which continues to this day. And as his reputation grew, so did his recklessness, commentating in his early death at the wrong end of a duelling pistol." -- from Rear panel blurb.
