Eugene Onegin

“A novel in verse. Eugene Onegin, a bored young dandy of St Petersburg, inherits a country estate, makes friends with the young poet Lensky, and is loved by Tatyana Larina, a dreamy, serious girl who writes him a letter he coolly refuses. Out of idle spite he flirts with Lensky's fiancée Olga, kills his friend in a duel, and wanders the world; and when he meets Tatyana again, years later, a great lady in Petersburg, he falls in love with her — too late.”
