[ Pushkin and antiquities : Observations of an archaeologist]
Moscow: Iazyki Russkoi Kul`tury, 2000 144 p Serie: Studia historica. Series Minor pbk. 14 x 21 cm ISBN: 5785901145 Language: Russian
The Russian historian and archaeologist Aleksandr Formozov (1928-2009) offers an unusual perspective on Pushkin`s legacy. What did Pushkin know about contemporary archaeological findings in the south of Russia and ancient Egypt? How did this knowledge influence his views and his works? This archaeological perspective allows the author to find new meaning in Pushkin’s poetry, and to make interesting observations about differences between scholarly and artistic ways of studying the world.
