Features: I shall be celebrated across the great Russian land, and all existing peoples there will sing the praises of my poetic soul—whether the proud descendants of the Slavs, the Finns, the yet-uncivilized Tungus people, or the steppe-loving Kalmyks. I shall be beloved by generations, for I have awakened people's kind hearts with my poetic, in my harsh era, I sang of freedom and pleaded for sympathy for those who perished. This book explores seven key issues—Pu?kin's literary народность (nationality) thought, the concept of freedom, the awareness of death, ethical orientation, the concept of women, the biblical complex, and narrative art—as its fundamental content and framework. It offers a fresh reinterpretation of Pu?kin's literary, political, and creative thought, bringing us closer to him and helping us understand him better. This book represents a novel exploration and interpretation of Pu?kin studies, holding significant importance for expanding and deepening the field of Pu?kin research, advancing the study of Pu?kin in China, and even contributing to the broader study of Russian literature.
