Eugene Onegin Book 1

WOW! The first book, interesting as it is, is quite the twisted collections of metaphors. What I have gathered from the reading is that he is in fact from a wealthy family-- although his troubles do set in eternally and later externally-- his life is still well off. The author tries to connect with the reader, because at the time the published place of the book would be where his connections would be. I found it very vague and intriguing and cannot wait to read and finish them all.
