"This power of the Negro to suck up the national spirit from the soil and create something artistic and original, which, at the same time, possesses the note of universal appeal, is due to a remarkable racial gift of adaptability; it is more than adaptability, it is a transfusive quality. And the Negro has exercised this transfusive quality not only here in America, where the race lives in large numbers, but in European countries, where the number has been almost infinitesimal.

EN SEVDİĞİM 5 PUŞKİN ALINTISI:
https://youtu.be/Ni2VuOJ3D34
Yarım kalmış olmasına rağmen Puşkin okumak isteyenler için en iyi başlangıç eserlerinden biri. Rus sosyetesi ve sosyete arasında gizli kalmış potansiyel ırkçılığın, hatta görücü usulü Rus evliliğinin yaklaşık 190 yıl önce özgün bir şekilde Puşkin tarafından yazımını içeren eser aslında Dostoyevski'nin eserlerinde de sıkça bahsedilen özgür düşüncenin o zamanların Rusyasında yasak oluşunun anlaşılması açısından da aydınlatıcı nitelik taşıma ...more

Ακόμα και το ατελείωτο και δίχως επιμέλεια αυτό κείμενο του Πούσκιν, δείχνει την μεγαλοφυία του ποιητή. Πρόκειται για την ιστορία του προπάππου του, Ιμπραήμ Αννίβα: ενός μαύρου σκλάβου που αγοράστηκε από την Κωνσταντινούπολη από τον πρέσβη της Ρωσίας, τον παππού του συγγραφέα Τολστόι επί εποχής Μεγάλου Πέτρου. Ο τσάρος έστειλε τον Ιμπραήμ στην Γαλλία για σπουδές, όπου εκπαιδεύτηκε στην μηχανική και στα μαθηματικά και πολέμησε στο πλευρό των Γάλλων εναντίον των Ισπανών. Γυρίζοντας πίσω στην Ρωσία

Un romanzo incompleto su suo nonno, il negro di Pietro il Grande, Abram Petrovič Gannibal (1696 – 14 maggio 1781). Confesso che ci sono restato a bocca larga (nella mia ignoranza non lo sapevo). Lode a Pietro, completamente libero da pregiudizi razziali. Forse etiope-eritreo, fu portato in Russia a Pietro il Grande, che lo adottò, ne fu padrino a battesimo e lo fece studiare in Francia. Divenne maggior generale del Genio militare, governatore di Reval e nobile dell'Impero Russo. Gannibal, da Han

Κοιτάω την οθόνη κάποια ώρα και σκέφτομαι τι πρέπει να γράψω, ή πώς να το εξηγήσω. Πρόκειται για ένα χειρόγραφο, ένα προσωπικό, ημιτελές, αχτένιστο, χειρόγραφο λίγων μόλις σελίδων, που γραφόταν σε ώρες σχόλης, στα όρια της απαντοχής για ένα κόσμο τύπων, δουλοκρατικό και άρα εξ’ ορισμού ρατσιστή, αλλοπρόσαλλο που ανάμεσα στα στάχυα ξεφύτρωναν ελάχιστες ορχιδέες σαν αδίστακτα, άκαμπτα, αρνούμενα να υποκύψουν ζιζάνια, απατηλός κόσμος ανάμεσα σε μια Παλινόρθωση και μια Ελληνική Επανάσταση, ανάμεσα σ

Are you kidding me? I knew it was unfinished, but I thought it had a further developed plot. I hoped to find out more, cause I liked it quite a bit. Goddammit, Pushkin! Again!

Too bad it was never finished, it was pretty good.
Решила, что нечестно ставить оценку незавершённой повести.
Pushkin didn’t finish this short story that was based on his grandfather. He was very close to Peter the Great.
Another story of tyranny.. & people accommodating to it.
Марья Ильинична сидела как на иголках; язык у нее так и свербел; наконец она не вытерпела и, обратясь к мужу, спросила его с кисленькой улыбкою, что находит он дурного в ассамблеях?
— А то в них дурно, — отвечал разгоряченный супруг, — что с тех пор, как они завелись, мужья не сладят с женами. Жены позабыли слово апостольское: жена да убоится своего мужа; хлопочут не о хозяйстве, а об обновах; не думают, как бы мужу угодить, а как бы приглянуться офицерам-вертопрахам. Да и прилично ли, сударыня, ...more

Предков нужно возвышать! Какими бы они не прославились делами — задачей потомков становится грамотная интерпретация прежде происходивших событий. Например, прадед Александра Пушкина имел уникальную судьбу для подданного Российского государства, так как происходил из африканских земель. Но как вёл себя сей прадед? Если не воспринимать в радужных оттенках сообщаемую о нём информацию, то окажется он человеком с сомнительной репутацией. Может потому и не стал писать о нём Пушкин дальше, ибо требовал

Een aardig bundeltje Guy de Maupassant-achtige verhaaltjes en de aanzet tot een roman. On-Russisch ligt in stijl en inhoud, uiteraard wel Russisch in sfeer en couleur locale. Niet bijzonder, maar hij was ook meer een dichter.
I loved reading it!!! An excellent book!!!
An interesting story of an African (a blackamoor) living and respected in Russian society.
Se sienten muy vivos los acontecimientos. Su primer intento inacabado como Pushkin prosista, sin digresiones ni adornos.
Darn this not being finished!
Biri yarida kalmis bir roman denemesi, digeri ise kisa bir romandan olusan kitap hem cok akici hikayeleri, hem de Rus kulturunun ve yasaminin degisik ozelliklerini yansitmasi nedeniyle zevkle okunan bir kitap, tavsiye ederim...
Read this when I was 16, at the beginning of my "Russian period". Handsome stories.
bitmiş olsaydı ne iyi olurdu.
I didn't realize this book was unfinished, thus no decimal rating. The blackamoor's letter to the Countess was touching.
