Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (/ˈpʊʃkɪn/;
Russian: Алекса́ндр Серге́евич Пу́шкин, tr. Aleksandr Sergeyevich
Pushkin; IPA: [ɐlʲɪˈksandr sʲɪˈrɡʲejɪvʲɪtɕ ˈpuʂkʲɪn] ( listen); 6 June
[O.S. 26 May] 1799 – 10 February [O.S. 29 January] 1837) was a Russian
poet, playwright, and novelist of the Romantic era who is considered by
many to be the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modern Russian
literature.
Pushkin was born
into Russian nobility in Moscow. His matrilineal great grandfather was
Abram Gannibal, who was brought over as a slave from what is now
Cameroon. Pushkin published his first poem at the age of fifteen, and
was widely recognized by the literary establishment by the time of his
graduation from the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum.
While under the
strict surveillance of the Tsar's political police and unable to
publish, Pushkin wrote his most famous play, the drama Boris Godunov.
His novel in verse, Eugene Onegin, was serialized between 1825 and 1832.
Notoriously
touchy about his honour, Pushkin fought as many as twenty-nine duels,
and was fatally wounded in such an encounter with Georges-Charles de
Heeckeren d'Anthès. Pushkin had accused D'Anthès, a French officer
serving with the Chevalier Guard Regiment of attempting to seduce the
poet's wife, Natalya Pushkina.
