Customer Reviews
An Excellent Translation
After finding this book, I found it difficult to put down. Translating Russian poetry is a challenge indeed, and most translators will make mention of that, but Arndt does not. I have read the original Russian of most of these works, as well as several attempts (all unsuccessful) to translate Pushkin, and this is the first time that any person has been able to successfully render its depth and character in English. If you like good poetry, but can't read Russian, then this is the book you will want, and treasure for years to come.
Fantastic translation
I've bought this book as a gift to my English-speaking friend and was very impressed with the translation. It is so close to the Russian original. I also like that the books includes fairly tales - excellent reading for kids.
Pushkin Rocks!
I am a huge fan of Pushkin, and this is the best book of his poems! I got this for my birthday, and I read it all night it was so good! I love his poems, and some are even funny.
