A sparkling new translation of Pushkin's masterpiece

Eugene Onegin is the master work of the poet whom Russians regard as the fountainhead of their literature. Set in 1820s Russia, Pushkin's verse novel follows the fates of three men and three women. Engaging, full of suspense, and varied in tone, it contains a large cast of characters and offers the reader many literary, philosophical, and autobiographical digressions, often in a highly satirical vein. Eugene Onegin was Pushkin's own favourite work, and this new translation by Stanley Mitchell conveys the literal sense and the poetic music of the original.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful Translation of Pushkin's Great Verse Novel
Reviewed in the United States on 12 April 2024

Although I am a great admirer of Nabokov's novels, I found his translation of *Eugene Onegin* dull and pedantic in comparison with this witty translation by Stanley Mitchell. Mitchell's translation reads like a poem written by Pope and Jane Austen. What a delight!

Good read. Initially was hesitant, as one should be with russian to english translation. Whatever may be said if Stanley Mitchell's translation, the understanding comes across and any major changes to the original is explained in the Notes section.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent story, fantastic translation. Read in 2 sittings, drinking tea.
Reviewed in Germany on 4 March 2023

I ordered Eugene Onegin of Pushkin after recently seeing the film on streaming, starring Ralph Fiennes and Liv Tyler. I was intrigued by the story already and saw a great opportunity to get to know Pushkin directly, though I wasn’t sure if translating a novel in verse from Russian into English would work. But you have to try it out to know.

I haven’t read Pushkin before, nor know any Russian. However, the translation by Stanley Mitchell clicked with me from the first lines. It’s modern enough for elegant and unencumbered reading, and the poetry works smoothly. The meter ripples on like a bubbling Russian streamlet, so enjoyable to read that you never want to put it down.

I will not attempt to recap the story or go into details of style and construct. Enough to say: I thoroughly enjoyed the very human story, the witty and brilliant remarks, the versatile tone, the humor, the poetry, as well as some really tear-inducing passages that made this a bitter-sweet read. It’s amazing how short it was in terms of pages, but the richness felt like a tome 3 times thicker if it had been written as a prose novel. Really great.

Can’t wait to read more Pushkin now. This was the perfect first dip.
