Pushkin began writing his first major work, Ruslan and Ludmila (1820), a kind of fairy story in verse, in 1817. It was based on Russian folktales told by his old nurse Arina Rodionovna. "On seashore far a green oak towers/ And to it with a gold chain bound/ A learned cat whiles away the hours/ By walking slowly round and round. To right he walks, and sings a ditty; To left he walks, and tells a tale...." Please note: This audiobook is in Russian.

Un manipolo di poesie dedicate alla Calabria, con le quali il poeta descrive la sua terra, "fiore di primavera", purtroppo umiliata e denigrata dalla 'ndrangheta e da una classe politica incapace di risolvere problemi atavici come l'emigrazione e il fenomeno mafioso, che ancora affliggono una terra così bella "che ha bisogno d’amore e di giorni di sole".
