Beyond his perfect expression of Russian mood, Pushkin's universality of vision has made him a permanent place in the history of world literature.Gillon Aitken's distinguished translation is the only volume that contains all his prose fiction, including some tales which remained unfinished when Pushkin was tragically killed in a duel at the age of thirty-seven

He married Natalia Goncharova in 1832 and died in a duel defending her honour in 1837.
