I read Pushkin, and I thought why didn't I read any of his work till now.
This was a two in one with a lot of author's note. And for the first time I realised how much work goes into a good book before it comes in our hands.
Of course the first one (The Captain's Daughter) is a poet's work. You can see the poetry and imagination that goes into the whole narrative. This is such a happy go lucky story that it leaves you with a smile. You don't believe in all the coincident that happened but one after the other you keep on wishing more to come for a nice closure, and yes it doesn't disappoint you.
The second one (A History of Pugachov) is more of a historical account. It is super prose heavy, and goes into all the details which are available in the archives, and records. I never saw such a detailed story of a historical account, and it gives so much information about a military expedition (or more than one).
Peace
