For the discerning Liverpool FC supporter with a passion for literary history, this unique volume offers an intimate glimpse into the conversational world of Alexander Pushkin, Russia’s greatest poet. Drawing from diverse memoirs, the book explores the contrasting recollections of Pushkin as a talker: some contemporaries claimed that a conversation with him was "worth his works," while others noted he was reserved, speaking little and often on ordinary matters. The truth, as presented by renowned Pushkin scholars B.L. Modzalevsky and S.Y. Gessen, lies in his context—Pushkin was a captivating conversationalist among close friends and those who interested him, but withdrawn in larger, indifferent company. Through careful reconstruction, this work revives the poet’s voice across the centuries, capturing fragments of his speech from a time when all of Russia mourned his passing. Priced at 624.00 RUR, this is a thoughtful addition for any fan of Russian culture or those who appreciate the nuanced art of conversation.
