Yomiko opened the library and took her place behind the collections desk with the collected works of Pushkin to keep her company.

Pushkin was the great-grandson of an Ethiopian prince who wound up in Russia through a rather roundabout method.

He died in a duel with a Frenchman over the honor of his wife.

Said wife was very pretty, but from all accounts kind of dumb.

Pushkin's poetry should be read in the original Russian, because it loses a lot in translation.

The library is closed for lunch.

Pushkin is regarded as the father of Russian literature.

Pushkin's mother was kind of nuts and moved the family around all the time. If they couldn't move outright, she would rearrange the furniture.

All of the above are true, and that's about all I know about Pushkin. *is weird*
