The Pushkin job: unmasking the thieves behind an international rare books heist

The long read: Between 2022 and 2023, as many as 170 rare and valuable editions of Russian classics were stolen from libraries across Europe. Were the thieves merely low-level opportunists, or were bigger forces at work?

“¿En dónde está nuestra rosa

Amigos míos?

Se marchitó la rosa

El bebé de la Aurora.

No digas:

¡Así se seca la juventud!

Ni digas:

¡Ésta es la alegría de la vida!

Dile a la flor:

¡Perdona, lo lamento!

Y condúcenos

Hacia el lirio blanco”

The truth of passions, the plausibility of feelings in the supposed circumstances - this is what our mind requires from a dramatic writer.

📚 “Eugene Onegin” by Alexander Pushkin an artful novel in verse exploring great questions of humanity such as passion, love, conventions of society and the ennui that may befall the superfluous men. An elegant and powerful read. #AlexanderPushkin #books #Masterpiece
