Adam Goetsch, a student at the Faculty of Law, presents the book Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin, a significant work in world literature. Originally written in Russian, the e-book available in our collection is an English translation.

Eugene Onegin is a novel in verse that explores themes of fate, love, and society. Set in the early 19th century, it follows the lives and emotions of its central characters: Onegin, a disillusioned aristocrat, Lensky, a young poet and Tatyana, a woman caught between personal longing and societal expectations. Blending literary, philosophical, and autobiographical elements, the novel offers readers a richly layered narrative filled with suspense, satire, and poetic beauty.

With an insightful introduction and extensive annotations, it serves as a valuable resource for research and academic study, offering multiple perspectives on literary style, historical context, and narrative form.
