A potentially excellent novel by Pushkin that, once again, he never completed

I can't help but think that Alexander Pushkin's novel Dubrovsky would be much more widely read today - if only he'd finished writing it! I embarked on reading it anyway, knowing that in the end I'll be disappointed, because a note in the introduction in the edition I'm reading (Pushkin's Complete Prose Fiction, Norton1966, G. Aitken ed and tr.) cited it as perhaps AP best prose work (along w/ the more famous Queen of Spades) - and, yes, it treads familiar ground - rivalry between two neighboring estates (set in I think late 18th-century Russia, written about 1832) with possible amelioration as their children fall in love. That said, the story contains some unusual plot twists; I'm usually pretty good at seeing these things coming, but I have to admit that one of the twists took me by surprise (I won't give it away). The very basic outline of the novel: two neighboring landowners, friends since youth, one very prosperous and kind of a nasty guy to his servants and to everyone, the other ran through most of his money, lives modestly, well like by all. Strangely, the two have a tremendous falling out and the wealthy landowner goes to court and gets a judgement that he has title to all of the property of his neighbor (this based entirely on facts of a case in Russian law). The dispossessed summons his son, Dubrovsky, who'd been in the Army in St. Petersb., and he arrives to find his father near death. Meanwhile the evil landowner has a change of heart and rides over to his neighbor's to apologize and restore his property, but the son - seeing the evil neighbor approach - and unaware of his intent, sends him away - just as his father dies. Dubrovsky, not wanting to leave anything to the neighbor, sets fire to the entire estate (killing some of the neighbor's servants in the process!) and takes off into the forest. Rumors spread about Dubrovsky - his whereabouts and his evil intents, but strange things begin to happen, and that's where I am now - engaged, but suspecting that the novel will not resolve all of its plot elements and narrative lines. Tant pis.
