Critics consider many of his works as ‘masterpieces of the word’, such as poem The Bronze Horseman and drama The Stone Guest, a tale of the fall of Don Juan.
In Vietnam, Alexander Pushkin is one of the best-known Russian authors. His works, mostly poems- have long been translated into Vietnamese, taught in school, published and reprinted in various publications for many times.
