When a flood leaves hundreds dead in St Petersburg, Yevgeny, a humble clerk, begins to see terrifying visions of a giant horseman mounted on a bronze steed. Simon Webb's version of Pushkin's epic poem is part of an edition that offers The Bronze Horseman, with its depiction of tyranny, madness and environmental disaster, as a text for the twenty-first century.
