When Maria Gavrilovna decides to elope with her suitor Vladimir Nikolayevitch, little do they know what supernatural occurrences this might evoke. An exceptionally chilling and dismal tale, "e;The Blizzard"e; portrays the terrifying ups and downs of the suitor, who is caught by the snowstorm while trying to reach his soon bride-to-be. It combines fast-paced narration, with hopeless situations, gloomy natural descriptions, and a realistic, psychological portrait of the main heroine - and all that turns the love-conquers-all story into an enigmatic and thrilling read. Deservedly labelled "e;the best Russian poet"e;, Pushkin's short life (1799-1837) did not prevent him from ushering Russian literature into its modern era. A master of the vernacular language and multifarious and vivid writing style, Pushkin's oeuvre was of great influence to a whole legion of Russian writers and literary styles. Among his best-known works are the narrative poems "e;Ruslan and Ludmila"e; and "e;Eugene Onegin"e;, the drama "e;Boris Godunov"e;, several novels, short stories, and fairy tales.
