Pushkin wrote many major works, such as Eugene Onegin, a novel in verse that explores the life and dilemmas of a young nobleman, and The Queen of Spades, a fantastic tale. He also wrote plays such as Boris Godunov, which critiques the struggle for power. His style, combining classical poetry and popular language, had an immense influence on Russian literature. He inspired authors such as Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. Pushkin died prematurely at the age of 37 following a duel, marking the tragic end of a life full of promise.
