Turgenev helped him translate Pushkin and Gogol into French. The free version available online is a translation by Louis Viardot which dates back to the 19 th century. I read a French version translated in 1973 by Brice Parrain. After his poetry work, he decided it was time to try prose and was inspired to do so after reading Sir Walter Scott. If I’m correct, with The Captain’s Daughter, Pushkin wrote the first great novel of Russian literature. And that’s where I am now that I’m supposed to write about The Captain’s Daughter by Pushkin, which was our Book Club’s choice for October.
When the time I spent with a book only triggered mild feelings, I have difficulties writing about it without yawning. In both cases I have many things to say about a novel that stirred strong emotions. When I loved a book or when I hated one, billets seem to write themselves on their own will.
