The great novel in verse “Eugene Onegin” seems simple and understandable, but this is deceptive. In fact, his text contains many mysteries, the meaning of which often eludes the modern reader. A lot of hints, hidden references, a lot of people, concepts and objects that were obvious to people of that era, but now unknown to the general public - all this does not prevent you from enjoying the poetic perfection of "Eugene Onegin", but can prevent you from understanding it truly deeply and fully, because any literary work exists in the context of its time. This book will be equally interesting for philologists, for students, and simply for Pushkin lovers; it represents a real key to the secrets hidden in the classical text.
