The story of one of the most well-known Pushkin’s characters has been narrated by the
actor and writer Stephen Fry. At the moment
Eugene Onegin has more than forty English translations, the earliest of them, by Henry Spolding, dating back to the 1881. The latest one was made by Stanley Mitchell in 2008.
For the audio book, Sthephen Fry has
read James Falen’s translation, 1990. Literary critics believe that this version suits the best the fictional world created by Alexander
Pushkin in his
novel in verse.
It should also be mentioned that this
audio book isn’t Stephen Fry’s first experience. Earlier he read
Harry Potter, Alan Alexander Milne, and others.
An audio version of "Eugene Onegin" in its English translation has been made publicly available by the Digital October technology center.
