1. The Bronze Horseman by Alexander Pushkin
A Narrative Poem
The narrative poem is a romantic tale set against the backdrop of the monumental flood of 1824 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It follows the young Evgenii, who falls passionately in love with Parasha, a beautiful girl he encounters in the city. However, their budding romance is tragically interrupted by the catastrophic flood, which wreaks havoc across the city. In the aftermath, Evgenii's mind becomes unhinged by the loss and devastation, leading him to fixate on the equestrian statue of Peter the Great, The Bronze Horseman, which he blames for his misfortune. The poem explores themes of man versus nature, fate, and the individual against the backdrop of historical progress.
