Ruslan i Ljudmina

By Aleksandr Pushkin

Высокие хоромы великого князя Киевского Светозара полны гостей. Князь празднует свадьбу дочери Людмилы с витязем Русланом. Вещий Баян запевает песню о славе русской земли, о смелых походах. Он предсказывает судьбу Руслана и Людмилы: над героями нависла смертельная опасность, им уготованы разлука, тяжкие испытания. Руслан и Людмила клянутся друг другу в вечной любви. Ратмир и Фарлаф, завидуя Руслану, втайне радуются предсказанию. Однако Баян всех успокаивает: незримые силы защитят влюбленных и соединят их. Гости славят молодых. Снова звучат напевы Баяна. На этот раз он предсказывает рождение великого певца, который сохранит от забвения историю Руслана и Людмилы.2 В разгар свадебного веселья раздается удар грома, все погружается во тьму. Мрак рассеивается, но Людмилы нет: она похищена. Светозар обещает руку дочери и полцарства тому, кто спасет княжну. Руслан, Ратмир и Фарлаф отправляются на поиски.

Aleksandr Pushkin

Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin was a Russian poet, playwright, and novelist of the Romantic era.[2] He is considered by many to be the greatest Russian poet[3][4][5][6] and the founder of modern Russian literature.[7][8] Pushkin was born into the Russian nobility in Moscow.[9] His father, Sergey Lvovich Pushkin, belonged to an old noble family. His maternal great-grandfather was Major-General Abram Petrovich Gannibal, a nobleman of African origin who was kidnapped from his homeland and raised in the Emperor's court household as his godson. He published his first poem at the age of 15, and was widely recognized by the literary establishment by the time of his graduation from the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum. Upon graduation from the Lycée, Pushkin recited his controversial poem "Ode to Liberty", one of several that led to his exile by Emperor Alexander I. While under the strict surveillance of the Emperor's political police and unable to publish, Pushkin wrote his most famous play, the drama Boris Godunov. His novel in verse, Eugene Onegin, was serialized between 1825 and 1832. Pushkin was fatally wounded in a duel with his wife's alleged lover and her sister's husband Georges-Charles de Heeckeren d'Anthès, also known as Dantes-Gekkern, a French officer serving with the Chevalier Guard Regiment.
