Author of the bronze horseman7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The statue then comes to life and chases the clerk to his death. We learn how the story becomes mythic when this man, a lowly clerk, descends into madness after losing his beloved to the flood that descends on the city, and then confronts the statue of the tsar. This ground breaking poem, which is one of the great landmarks of Russian literature, shows us how the empire building passion of one ruler, the tsar Peter the Great, with his grand design to create the city of St Petersburg in spite of its situation on marshy and inhospitable land, can be seen to lead to tragic consequences for one particular individual, a hundred years later. John Yorke explores the way the celebrated 19th century writer Alexander Pushkin’s 400-line narrative poem, The Bronze Horseman, gives us an astonishing image of the unequal relationship between ruler and ruled. ![]()

Apart from the rhythm and clarity there is the the duel between excitement and one's shame at being excited. Space, like time, anaesthetises the imagination.

![]() ![]() I think the conclusion I came to is that Lisa works hard for a lot, but a lot is a 'gift' - she is cleverer than average by good luck, she finds food in the warehouses that others have grown and stockpiled there - and so she is not solely responsible for her success. If nothing else, it was a good book for challenging me to articulate why I don't agree with that. But it is a piece of propaganda with an agenda, and the agenda is that if you are clever and smart and work hard, you own what you are in charge of, and those left wing commies with their strange ideas about voting and sharing can just go and live somewhere else. So I enjoyed this tale of Lisa, who becomes a leader after all adults are destroyed by plague. And I like books that come from a viewpoint different to my own. ![]()
