Kapteenin tytär by Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin draws listeners into a gripping tale of love, honor, and upheaval set against the real-life turmoil of 18th-century Russia.
This historical fiction classic follows young Andrei Grinev, whose ambitions and loyalties are tested when he leaves home for military service, falls in love, and confronts the dangerous chaos of Pugachev’s Rebellion. Pushkin blends vivid character study with sharp social observation, exploring themes of duty, class, courage, and the fragile line between law and violence. Rich period detail and brisk narrative make the novel both intimate and panoramic: village life, garrison culture, duels, and political conspiracy all move the plot while illuminating the broader historical context of Catherine the Great’s Russia. Presented here in a Finnish translation, the story remains a foundational work of Russian literature that helped define the historical novel as a genre.
Ideal for fans of fiction and historical fiction, listeners who love character-driven narratives and anyone curious about Russian history and language traditions will find this audiobook rewarding. Listen for Pushkin’s elegant storytelling and the moral quandaries that keep the drama as relevant today as when it was first written.
