He also gave it a figure of enduring romantic allure-fiery, restless, extravagant, a prodigal gambler and inveterate seducer of women. Having forged a dazzling, controversial career that cost him the enmity of one tsar and won him the patronage of another, he died at the age of thirty-eight, following a duel with a French officer who was paying unscrupulous attention to his wife.\u003cbr\u003eIn his magnificent, prizewinning \u003cb\u003ePushkin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003eT.
