The Story of the Pushkin-D'Anthès Duel
Death of Russia's Greatest Poet (1837)By Ricky Recon
Length26m
About this audiobook
In January 1837, Russia lost its greatest poet to the oldest story in the world: a beautiful woman, a jealous husband, and a rival who pushed too far.
When French officer Georges d’Anthès set his sights on Natalia Goncharova, the stunning wife of Alexander Pushkin, the entire court of St. Petersburg whispered and waited for the explosion. Pushkin’s pride, stoked by anonymous letters and cruel gossip, left him no choice but to defend his honor.
On the snowy field of Chernaya Rechka, the inevitable happened. Pistols were raised, shots were fired, and Russia’s national poet fell. He would linger for two agonizing days, leaving behind verses that shaped a nation and a cautionary tale about pride, jealousy, and the fatal code of honor.
Ricky Recon’s riveting retelling brings this tragic duel to life — from the glittering ballrooms of the Tsar’s court to the frozen silence of the dueling ground.
