War and Peace in sonnets by Shimyereh
Fandoms: Voyná i mir | War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy, Евгений Онегин | Eugene Onegin - Aleksandr Pushkin
28 Jul 2018

Summary
Retelling episodes from War and Peace in the style of Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin, with occasional forays into other classic Russian narrative poetry forms. Recurring theme: What kinds of stories do the characters in War and Peace think they’re in or imagine themselves into?
Reflections, vignettes, ballads, epic fragments, lyrical scenes. Sporadically updated in not-quite-linear fashion.
[Mostly on hiatus while I work on a translation of Eugene Onegin. (Something I've wanted to do for a long time, and this project helped me get up the nerve to give it a go.) I still have plenty of ideas for W&P sonnets and I'll be back here eventually!]
