Упражнение 5
Пример ответа. Alexander Pushkin was born in Moscow in 1799. He wrote poetry, plays, stories and novels. Among his best known works are Eugene Onegin, The Queen of Spades and The Captain’s Daughter. His stories explore choices about love, honour and duty, often through characters who must decide what to do under pressure. Some works draw on Russian history, while others use fantastic elements or material from folktales. Pushkin spent part of his life away from the capital and continued writing during those years. He also studied historical sources when preparing his work about Pugachev’s rebellion. His works are still read in schools and adapted for the theatre. I like how his short stories can create tension with very few details.
