While Wilson derided it as a disappointment in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e, other critics hailed the translation and accompanying commentary as Nabokov's highest achievement. Nabokov himself strove to render a literal translation that captured \"the exact contextual meaning of the original,\" arguing that, \"only this is true translation.\" Nabokov's \u003ci\u003eEugene Onegin\u003c\/i\u003e remains the most famous and frequently cited English-language version of the most celebrated poem in Russian literature, a translation that reflects a lifelong admiration of Pushkin on the part of one of the twentieth century's most brilliant writers. Now with a new foreword by Nabokov biographer Brian Boyd, this edition brings a classic work of enduring literary interest to a new generation of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Nabokov has not merely rendered the most precious gem of Russia's poetic heritage into limpid, literal poetic translation.
