Presented here in its own volume, the commentary is a unique scholarly masterwork by one of the twentieth century's greatest writers--a work that Nabokov biographer Brian Boyd calls \"the most detailed commentary ever made on\" \u003ci\u003eOnegin\u003c\/i\u003e and \"indispensable to all serious students of Pushkin's masterpiece.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his commentary, Nabokov seeks to illuminate every possible nuance of this nineteenth-century classic. He explains obscurities, traces literary influences, relates \u003ci\u003eOnegin\u003c\/i\u003e to Pushkin's other work, and in a characteristically entertaining manner dwells on a host of interesting details relevant to the poem and the Russia it depicts. Nabokov also provides translations of lines and stanzas deleted by the censor or by Pushkin himself, variants from Pushkin's notebooks, fragments of a continuation called \"Onegin's Journey,\" the unfinished and unpublished \"Chapter Ten,\" other continuations, and an index. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA work of astonishing erudition and passion, Nabokov's commentary is a landmark in the history of literary scholarship and in the understanding and appreciation of the greatest work of Russia's national poet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVladimir Nabokov\u003c\/b\u003e (1899-1977) was a Russian-American writer whose novels in English include \u003ci\u003eLolita\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePale Fire\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAda\u003c\/i\u003e.
