About This Novel
"Eugene Onegin" is Russia's first realist work and successfully created the first "superfluous man" image in Russian literature. The protagonist of the work, the aristocratic young man Onegin, lived a luxurious life similar to that of ordinary aristocratic youths. However, under the influence of the atmosphere of the times and the progressive enlightenment ideas at that time, he began to be tired of the empty and boring life of the upper class, and came to the countryside with a desire for a new life, and tried to engage in agricultural reform. However, in the end, Onegin was still in a state of idleness, depression and hesitation, and contracted the typical disease of the times - melancholia. At the manor in the countryside, he became friends with Lensky and his fiancée Olga. Olga's sister Tatyana was simple and passionate. She fell passionately in love with Onegin and bravely wrote to him to express her pure love, but Onegin rejected her. A few years later, at a ball in St. Petersburg, Onegin reunited with Tatyana, who had become the general's wife, and found that he was deeply in love with her. However, Tatyana could not betray her husband. Although she loved Onegin deeply, she still rejected him.
