About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Caspar David Friedrich and Alexey Venetsianov. A young officer is posted to a fort on the Orenburg steppe in 1773, falls in love with the commandant's daughter, and is captured by Pugachev — the Cossack pretender who claimed to be the murdered Tsar and burned half of southeastern Russia. Pushkin is where Russian literature begins; he researched the rebellion in the archives and on the ground, and gave the rebel a courtesy nobody else dared. Published here as Marie, its early English title. Fifty-eight plates by painters including Perov and Savrasov follow the story from the snowbound steppe to the rebel camp, matching Pushkin's tale of faith, winter, and uprising.
