I'm currently reading #TheQueenOfSpades and Other #Stories by #AlexanderPushkin. The title story is a great one: it's witty, jocular and partly fantastic. I actually love anything related to playing cards, which, I think, is one of the reasons why I love #Marvel's iconic mutant #Gambit and his explosive playing cards. Speaking of which, I've still been reading #TheMarvelBook, I'm going slow as I want to enjoy it as long as possible—Marvel Comics' immense and rich universe is fascinating as well as engrossing. ~ Şu aralar #Pushkin'den #MaçaKızı ve Diğer Hikayeler'i okuyorum. Kitaba adını veren hikaye "Maça Kızı" harika: zekice, esprili and kısmen fantastik. İskambil kağıtlarıyla alakalı her şeyi seviyorum aslında; sanırım Marvel'ın ikonik mutantı Gambit'i ve onun patlayıcı iskâmbil kağıtlarını sevme sebeplerimden biri de bu. Lafı açılmışken, The Marvel Book'u halen okumaktayım, yavaş ilerliyorum çünkü keyfini olabildiğince uzun çıkarmak istiyorum—Marvel çizgi romanlarının uçsuz bucaksız ve zengin evreni sürükleyici olduğu kadar büyüleyici de. ⁂ ⁂ ⁂ «Fiziksel dünyada iki nesne nasıl aynı anda anda aynı yeri kaplayamazsa, insanın düşünce alanında da iki saplantı bir arada var olamaz. Üçlü, yedili ve birli, Hermann'ın hayal gücünde ölü Kontesin imgesini çok geçmeden silmişti...» ("Maça Kızı") ~ «Two fixed ideas cannot coexist in the moral sphere, just as two bodies cannot occupy the same space in the physical world. The three, the seven and the ace soon blotted out the image of the dead Countess from Hermann's imagination...» ("The Queen of Spades") ⁂ ⁂ ⁂ «Gençlerin en bağışlanamaz bulduğu şey cesaret eksikliğidir, ki gençler yürekliliği insan erdemlerinin zirvesi ve tüm ahlaksız davranışların özrü olarak görürler.» (Merhum İvan Petroviç Belkin'in Öyküleri'nden "Atış") ~ «Lack of courage is the thing found least excusable by the young, who usually see valour as the acme of human virtue and an excuse for all manner of vicious behaviour.» ("The Shot" from Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin) ⁂ ⁂ ⁂ #QueenOfSpades #Hermann #TheBelkinTales #TheCaptainsDaughter #YüzbaşınınKızı #MarvelBook #MarvelComics #book #books #read #reading #literature #bookstagram #instabook https://www.instagram.com/p/CY_6HzHgL9G/?utm_medium=tumblr

«Extinguished ashes won't rekindle, And though I grieve, I weep no more; And soon, quite soon, the tempest's core Within my soul will fade and dwindle.» (Ch. I, st. 59) ~ «Just love yourself and ease the pain, My most esteemed and honoured reader! A worthy object! Never mind, A truer love you'll never find.» (Ch. IV, st. 22) ~ #Finished: #EugeneOnegin by #AlexanderPushkin. • Rating: 9/10 • Absolutely one of the most emotionally powerful works I've ever read, this "novel in verse" is about the title character, a fop and former heartbreaker become jaded at a young age. He moves to the province and meets #VladimirLenksy, a young poet who is in love with #OlgaLarin. A romantic entanglement involving #Olga's sister #Tatyana and some jealousy occur, and things take a dramatic turn. Covering a broad spectrum of subjects, with its stanzas on love, fickleness, rejection, friendship, Russian society, poetry, balls, duels, youth, death and so forth, Eugene Onegin is truly one the greatest poetic works ever written. ~ It's ahead of its time, has postmodernist qualities: it's metafictonal and self-reflexive, as there are some stanzas on the art of poetry, on being a poet and the writing process of the work. The narrator often interrupts the narration, adresses the reader breaking the fourth wall, and Pushkin inserts himself and his lover into the work, in a ball where #Onegin and Tatyana also are. I think #Pushkin deconstructed the epic poetry genre, which had already evolved and gone out of fashion until his time, and played freely between #poetry and prose, as well as romanticism and realism, using poetry as a means of narrating this novelistic and anti-heroic narrative. ~ «But whom to love? To trust and treasure? Who won't betray us in the end? And who'll be kind enough to measure Our words and deeds as we intend? Who won't sow slander all about us? Who'll coddle us and never doubt us? To whom will all our faults be few? Who'll never bore us through and through?» (Ch. IV, st. 22) ~ #ANovelInVerse #Lensky #TatyanaLarin #Zaretsky #ЕвгенийОнегин #YevgeniOnegin #Пушкин #russianliterature #book #books #bookstagram #literature #bibliophile #read #reading #bookworm #classics https://www.instagram.com/p/CLkYLzLgBZU/?igshid=ilpcasycsrlz
