Here are five of Alexander Pushkin''s finest narrative poems. "The Gypsies" tells the anti-Romantic tale of an effete city-dweller whose search for "unspoiled" values among a band of gypsies ends in tragedy. "The Bridegroom" is a whodunnit filled with sexual dread and subconscious terror. "Count Nulin," a deliciously comic tale of country life. "The Tale of the Dead Princess" is Pushkin''s version of the Snow White story while the eerie "Tale of the Golden Cockerel" is inspired by his bitter experience with Tsar Nicholas I.
