Alexander Pushkin
Alexandre Dumas
John Malveaux of
writes:
The
2016 Metropolitan Opera's production of Tchaikovsky's EUGENE ONEGIN and
other productions are based on Alexander Pushkin's novel in verse.
EUGENE ONEGIN was first performed in Moscow 1879. Pushkin is considered
by many to be the greatest Russian poet. "Pushkin's great-grandfather, was Abram Petrovich Gannibal (1696–1781), an African page kidnapped to Constantinople as a gift to the Ottoman Sultan and later transferred to Russia as a gift for Peter the Great."
The
African influence on Russia literature by Pushkin is similar to the
influence of adventure novelist Alexandre Dumas on France literature..
