Ruslan and Lyudmila
Author(s): Alexander Pushkin

In order to rescue his beloved Lyudmila, who has been abducted by the evil wizard Chernomor, the warrior Ruslan faces an epic and perilous quest, encoutering a multitude of fantastic and terrifying characters along the way.

The basis for Glinka's famous opera of the same name, Ruslan and Lyudmila - Pushkin's second longest poetical work - is a dramatic and ingenious retelling of Russian folklore, full of humour and irony.

Review(s):
"He managed what is almost unmanageable: to offer parody and enchantment at the same time" - Colm Tóibín
