About Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin N. V. Gogol once said quite rightly: "Pushkin is… an extraordinary and, perhaps, the only manifestation of the Russian spirit: he is the Russian person in his development, as he may appear two hundred years from now… In him… all the richness, power, and flexibility of our language are contained…" Every work by Pushkin is a model of flawless literary language, unsurpassed in its beauty and power. And the novella "The Captain's Daughter", included in this edition, is yet another confirmation of this. The action of the novella takes place during the Pugachev rebellion, which Pushkin himself described as "a Russian riot, senseless and merciless". For older schoolchildren.
