Медный всадник

I listened to this reading on youtube while reading along simultaneously.

It's about time I read one of the most influential works in Russian literature! Especially as I visited St. Petersburg myself at the end of last year. This narrative poem is a celebration of the city, which I was expecting, of course, after hearing so much about it, but I was not expecting what happened at the end of this little story!

This is very short, but very much worth your time if you want to give it a read, although I'm unsure what would be the best English translation to go for.
