While Wilson derided it as a disappointment in the New York Review of Books, other critics hailed the translation and accompanying commentary as Nabokov's highest achievement. Nabokov himself strove to render a literal translation that captured \"the exact contextual meaning of the original,\" arguing that, \"only this is true translation.\" Nabokov's Eugene Onegin remains the most famous and frequently cited English-language version of the most celebrated poem in Russian literature, a translation that reflects a lifelong admiration of Pushkin on the part of one of the twentieth century's most brilliant writers. Now with a new foreword by Nabokov biographer Brian Boyd, this edition brings a classic work of enduring literary interest to a new generation of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40679361970199,"sku":"9780691181011","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/view_archive_9fecf500-8b29-47bd-9749-7ec4d54d9a34.jpg?v=1697662297","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/pushkin-aleksandr-tr-nabokov-eugene-one","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
