Chandler explores his relationship to politics and provides a fascinating glimpse of the turbulent period Pushkin lived through. The book acts as a succinct guide for anybody trying to understand Russia's most celebrated literary figure and also illuminates the wider historical and political context of early nineteenth-century Russia.
