Product Description
Following the death of Ivan the Terrible, Boris Godunov becomes regent for the feeble-minded Tsar Fyodor, after the original heir to the throne, the boy-prince Dimitri, dies mysteriously. It is widely rumored that mad Boris murdered the boy, and when a renegade monk later appears claiming to be Dimitri, he rapidly becomes a focus for revolt. Also includes: Mozart and Salieri and A Stone Guest.

the cesear if russia, July 18 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Boris Godunov (Paperback)
Of course, I loved the book. It's well paced, entertaining, and insightful to a moment in russian history. Pushkin's charm as an dramatist is as well done as shakespeare. There aren't as many quotable lines, but that only makes it more fluent to read. The poetry is also nothing shy of great and the characters are well written, notably boris and the impostor. It's always tough to find russian literiture that doesn't bore a person, but pushkin's drama has enough romance (i.e. Romantic era), action, jokes, and touching speeches to move the reader to bite their nails, laugh out loud, and cry.
