Peter the Great's Negro

''Peter the Great's Negro'' ((ロシア語:Арап Петра Великого), ''Arap Petra Velikogo'', literally ''Peter the Great's Arap'', traditionally translated as ''The Negro of Peter the Great'') is an unfinished historical novel by Alexander Pushkin. Written in 1827–1828 and first published in 1837, the novel is the first prose work of the great Russian poet.
==Background==
Pushkin started to work on the novel towards the end of July, 1827 in Mikhailovskoe and in spring 1828 read some drafts to his friends, including poet Pyotr Vyazemsky. During Pushkin's lifetime, two fragments were published: in the literary almanac ''Severnye Tsvety'' (1829) and in the newspaper ''Literaturnaya Gazeta'' (March 1830). All the extant parts were first published after Pushkin's death by the editors of the journal ''Sovremennik'' in 1837, who also gave the novel its current title.
The main character of the novel, Ibrahim, is loosely based on Pushkin's maternal great-grandfather, Abram Petrovich Gannibal, a black African who was brought to Russia during the reign of Peter the Great. Pushkin's interests in history and genealogy combined to depict the transformation of Russia at the beginning of 18th century; the period of Russian history to which Pushkin returns in the narrative poem ''Poltava'' in 1829. The influential Russian literary critic Vissarion Belinsky maintained that ``had this novel been completed ... we should have a supreme Russian historical novel, depicting the manners and customs of the greatest epoch of Russian history.”
The reasons why Pushkin left the novel unfinished are not known and no outline in Pushkin's hand has survived to show how he intended to develop the plot. According to a friend of Pushkin, A. Wulf: ``The main intrigue of the novel, as Pushkin says, will be the sexual infidelity of the Negro's wife, who gives birth to a white child, and is punished by being banished to a convent.” (A.S. Pushkin v vospominaniyah sovremennnikov, Moscow, 1950, pp. 324–325).
