Книга: Russian Stories (Keller Cristoph (редактор)) ; Penguin Books, 2019

Two centuries of short stories by nineteen titans of Russian literature, from Pushkin and Gogol to Tatiana Tolstaya and Svetlana Alexievich in the beautifully jacketed Pocket Classics series. Russian Stories rounds up marvelous short stories by all the Russian heavyweights, including Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Chekhov, Bulgakov, and Nabokov, and continuing up to contemporary writers such as Tatiana Tolstaya and the recent Nobel Prize winner Svetlana Alexievich. There is no similar one volume collection of the best of the Russian greats in English, and especially none that include as many women as this one does, including a story by the recently rediscovered Teffi, who was widely hailed a century ago in Russia as the female Chekhov. Our themed Pocket Classics have done very well, as have our Russian titles in the regular library and here we have the best of both in one beautiful little book.
