Negri Paul (ed.) Great Russian Short Stories

Mineola, New York: Dover Publications, 2003.
Originally electronic quality.A collection of stories by Russian classics of the 19th century.
The stories in this collection represent a varied range of style and subject matter, but each offers a fascinating glimpse of the factors that shaped modern Russia. These insights offer an unvarnished portrait of the pre-Stalinist Russian character — painfully conflicted by greed, self-destruction, love, and hope. It is clear why these evocative tales have become classics in the short story genre, and why these authors have been immortalized as the masters of modern Russian literature.The queen of spades.
