Alexander Pushkin began writing his first works at the age of seven. By the time he died in a duel at the age of thirty-seven, Pushkin had composed hundreds of works: lyrical poems, fairy tales, historical prose, romance novels, and even theoretical works on literature and journalistic articles.
It is no wonder that readers and scholars consider him to be one of the fathers of Russian modern literary language. While during his life, the quality and breadth of his writing marked him as one of the first Russian authors to have earned a living from his craft, it later led him to be called the "Sun of Russian Poetry." Pushkin's works are essential reading for anyone hoping to understand the Russian soul.
