Summary:

One of Pushkin’s most thrilling prose works, Dubrovsky follows the
adventures of an aristocrat–turned–brigand and his audacious scheme
for revenge. It is published here with the short story Egyptian
Nights. Foreword by Patrick Neate. Dubrovsky is the son of a
landowner whose property has been confiscated by a corrupt and
malicious general. After his father dies, and his faithful servants
burn his ancestral home to the ground, Dubrovsky turns to crime. But
to achieve his ultimate aim of avenging his father, he must resort to
subtler means than banditry. Masquerading as a French tutor, he
enters the General’s house and sets about beguiling his daughter.
Asking hard questions of our faith in social institutions, in
particular the law, Dubrovsky displays the considerable storytelling
skill of Russia’s greatest poet. Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837) wrote
lyric and narrative poems, but his masterwork is the verse novel
Eugene Onegin.
