Det siste av likkistesnekker Adrian Prokhoroffs innbo var lastet på flyttevognen. Og de magre hestene slepte seg for fjerde gang fra Basmannaia-gaten til Nikitskaia dit likkistesnekkeren flyttet med hele sin husstand. Da han hadde satt lås for det gamle verkstedet slo han opp på porten et skilt der han forkynte at huset var til salgs eller til leie, hvoretter han bega seg til fots til den nye bopelen. Da den gamle likkistesnekkeren nærmet seg det lille gule huset som lenge hadde stått for ham som en forførende drøm, og som han nå endelig hadde kjøpt for en ganske pen sum, merket han med forundring at han ikke riktig gledet seg i sitt hjerte...

Works of Russian writer Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin include the verse novel Eugene Onegin (1831), the play Boris Godunov (1831), and many narrative and lyrical poems and short stories. See also: Russian: Александр Сергеевич Пушкин French: Alexandre Pouchkine Norwegian: Aleksander Pusjkin Spanish:Aleksandr Pushkin People consider this author the greatest poet and the founder of modern literature. Pushkin pioneered the use of vernacular speech in his poems, creating a style of storytelling—mixing drama, romance, and satire—associated ever with greatly influential later literature. Pushkin published his first poem at the age of 15 years in 1814, and the literary establishment widely recognized him before the time of his graduation from the imperial lyceum in Tsarskoe Selo. Social reform gradually committed Pushkin, who emerged as a spokesman for literary radicals and in the early 1820s clashed with the government, which sent him into exile in southern Russia. Under the strict surveillance of government censors and unable to travel or publish at will, he wrote his most famous drama but ably published it not until years later. People published his verse serially from 1825 to 1832. Pushkin and his wife Natalya Goncharova, whom he married in 1831, later became regulars of court society. In 1837, while falling into ever greater debt amidst rumors that his wife started conducting a scandalous affair, Pushkin challenged her alleged lover, Georges d'Anthès, to a duel. Pushkin was mortally wounded and died two days later. Because of his liberal political views and influence on generations of Russian rebels, Pushkin was portrayed by Bolsheviks as an opponent to bourgeois literature and culture and a predecessor of Soviet literature and poetry. Tsarskoe Selo was renamed after him.
