From Our Editors

Translating Eugene Onegin from Russian to English while retaining the author's original rhyming scheme would be an impossibly arduous task for most. For Douglas Hofstader, it was a labour of love. Putting his theories on translation expressed in Le Ton Beau de Marot to work, Hofstader presents what is certain to become the definitive translation of Pushkin's often overlooked classic.
