Stephen Fry - Eugene Onegin (audiobook)

The very first translation was published by colonel Henry Spalding in 1881; in the 1930s three other versions were introduced-by Oliver Elton (revised in 1995 by A. D. P. Briggs), by Dorothea Prall Radin with George Z. Patrick and by Babbette Deutsch.
A version presented by Babbette Deutsch was widely considered canonical until the 1960s when Walter W. Arndt and Vladimir Nabokov published their editions. The translations by Arndt and Nabokov are considered both fundamental and mutually exclusive-not least due to their argument over Eugene Onegin and nature of verse translations in general, creating one of the biggest literary disputes of that era.
In 1963, Walter Arndt published a verse translation of Eugene Onegin preserving the rhyme schemes and metrical structure of Pushkin's text. Vladimir Nabokov reviewed Arndt's work in an essay entitled "On Translating Pushkin Pounding the Clavichord" that was published in The New York Review of Books. Nabokov furiously criticised Arndt's translation; according to him, the attempt to preserve the original iambic tetrameter resulted in Arndt's defacing Pushkin's spirit and the literal meaning of the novel. Arndt replied with a letter "Goading the pony" that was followed by an article "The strange case of Pushkin and Nabokov" by Edmund Wilson, a critic who rose to Arndt's defence and thus ruptured his close friendship with Nabokov.
In 1964, Nabokov published his own Eugene Onegin, drastically different from all the previous versions. While working on the translation he came to a conclusion that creating a relevant poetic text in English is impossible. So he made the most careful word-for-word lexical transcoding with a two-volume commentary. All the posterior translations are believed to be influenced by Nabokov's work and his views on translation theory.
