In one of his stories, Count B's picture of Switzerland is shot by Silvio after his wife gives him a pretext for declaring their duel a joke. That story, as well as "The Post-Master" and "The Coffin-Maker," is included in his collection The Tales of the Late P. Belkin. Also the author of a poem about the animation of a bronze statue of Peter the Great, another of his stories focuses on Hermann, who frightens Countess A to death while trying to procure the three-seven-ace combination. In his most famous work, Zaretsky fails to prevent the death of Lensky, who challenges the title character to a duel after he flirted with Olga on Tatiana's name-day celebration. For 10 points, name this Russian author of "The Queen of Spades" and Eugene Onegin.
