The Little Tragedies

Alexander Pushkin's four short dramas in verse, known as The Little Tragedies, are considered masterpieces of Russian literature. This new translation by Nancy K. Anderson captures the original's cadence and intensity, adapting it for contemporary poetic practices. Each play, including 'Mozart and Salieri' and 'A Feast During the Plague,' features a central protagonist whose internal struggles drive the plot, exploring fundamental human passions.
