¶ … Eugene Onegin
The writing styles employed in Eugene Onegin, written by Alexander Pushkin, and in Crime and Punishment, authored by Fyodor Dostoevsky, are about as extremely different from one another as they can be. The former is a work of poetry written in the first person. The latter is a work of prose written by an omniscient, third-person narrator. These differences in writing styles duly affect the way that readers perceive each of these stories, adding to a degree of clarity and gravity to Dostoevsky's tale as opposed to ambiguity and levity evinced within Pushkin's.

There is a great irony to Onegin's boredom -- and
age and several thousand miles separated Russian Alexander Pushkin and American Flannery O'Connor. This essay seeks to illustrate why they deserve to be considered as icons of world literature. Pushkin's body of works spans poetry -- romantic and political, essays, and novels. Influential music composers like Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Rimsky Korsakov and Tchaikovsky adapted the lyrical and dramatic elements of Pushkin's works. Flannery O'Connor's work, on the other hand, was
As mentioned earlier on, the new political dispensation that took off is 1994 opened the "gates of creative possibility" (Roos,2010) for the opera producers since they were therefore able to juxtapose the Western and African art scenes. This was fueled by the sense of renewed intellectual and artistic access that way created by the new political dispensation. According to Roos (2010), theoretically, the new political dispensation culminated into an
