First Pushkin Book

The first Onegin book gives us the setting of introducing the main character. It starts by telling the reader of the some- what disturbing yet comical circumstances of the death of an Uncle. It goes to say that though much of the family took care of the uncle, brought him his medicine, and provided general care, but the only thought on everyone's mind was "When the devil will the old rascal die?"  While this may have a valid point, this still seems rather cold hearted, but funny none-the-less.
The second stanza is directed by the narrator at the audience. It goes to explain that the stanza before it was a thought of Onegin, the main character of this tale. It also alludes to that this idea was born from the fact that Onegin is the "inheritor of all his kind". This I take to mean that Onegin will be receiving his uncle's inheritance or at least a part of it.  Then the poem goes on to formally introduce Onegin, being the first time his name is actually mentioned. The narrator then ventures to make a connection with the reader, suggesting that you may be familiar with Onegin's birthplace on the banks of Neva.
