The Story of the Pushkin-d'Anthès Duel

Length26m
About this audiobook
January 27th, 1837. The outskirts of St. Petersburg, Russia.
The snow crunched under their boots like breaking bones as Alexander Pushkin and Georges d'Anthès took their positions beside the Black River. The temperature was brutal—twenty degrees below zero Fahrenheit—but neither man showed any sign of discomfort. They had more pressing concerns than the weather.
Pushkin, at thirty-seven, was Russia's greatest poet, the man who had single-handedly transformed Russian literature from aristocratic French verse into something uniquely, powerfully Russian. He stood slightly hunched against the cold, his dark eyes burning with a fury that had been building for months. This wasn't just about honor or reputation—this was about love, jealousy, and the kind of torment that can drive a genius to risk everything for satisfaction.
