Oneguine by Pouchkine

A beautiful performance of the heroine Tatiana's adolescent love

for Oneguine which remains unrequited was sung to airs composed

by Tchaikovsky in Geneva. It is a moral tale of honesty and integrity

in which the heroine repudiates Oneguine's love when he comes back

to her after she marries. It is also a very detailed description of life

in 19th century upper-class rural Russia based on agricultural rhythms,

family life, and interpersonal relations.
