"Moral commonplaces are amazingly useful when we can find little in ourselves with which to justify our actions." Tales of Belkin and Other Prose Writings is mostly a disarming and amusing collection of short stories. What's surprising was how much I enjoyed the stories involving romantic conquests and satirical dramas involving peasantry life (in stories 'The Blizzard', 'The Undertaker', 'The Postmaster', and 'The Squire's Daughter'). Pushkin's prose conveys erudition in their lighthearted coincidences and humorous parodies. More so in rare times where it tickles the ridiculous indulgence of the upper classes and pokes fun with the entitlement and arrogance of men (in the story 'Roslavlev' one female character said in disdain: "There is no doubt that Russian women are better educated, read more, and think more than the men, who are busy with God knows what.") However, the latter stories prove to be a bore and a challenge. My limited knowledge of the Russo-Turkish war made my attention drift and leave now and then that I couldn't care less how it all ended. But the title should have been a giveaway. The Tales of Belkin is a staple of Russian short stories, I dare say, next to Chekhov's whilst the other prose writings are of an acquired taste. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

He was the writer, according to Dostoyevsky, who 'showed us a whole gallery of genuinely beautiful Russian characters which he discovered in the Russian people.' Pushkin would go in the autumn to write at his family's house in the country at Boldino, and there he produced his first prose masterpiece, the Tales of Belkin. These stories are wonderful in their purity of form, their humour and understatement. Alongside the Tales, this volume also contains a selection of his other writings, including the novel fragment Roslavlev, the Egyptian Nights, and Pushkin's autobiographical Journey to Arzrum.

I always wanted to read a Russian author but I'm very much not into tragedies or bleak stories. She told that Alexander Pushkin has a great writing style but also this book had stories in them that have a happy end!
