Among the most famous works by the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) are his narrative poems. The book we offer to attention of our readers contains three of them - The Bronze Horseman, Ruslan and Ludmila, and The Bakchesarian Fountain. The Bronze Horseman: A Petersburg Tale was written in 1833, while the action takes place during the great flood of 1824. The Bronze Horseman is considered to be Pushkin's best-known narrative poem and is one of the reasons why he is called the "founder of modern Russian literature." Its impact on Russian literature and culture altogether was so great that the equestrian statue of Peter the Great, which plays a dramatic role in the plot of the poem, became since then known as the Bronze Horseman
