Translated From The Russian By Ivy & Tatiana Litvinov.Foreword By George Steiner. 319 pages. paperback. CP70. . keywords: Signet Classic Paperback Russia Translated Literature 19th Century. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Virtually all of the great Russian writers - Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Turgenev, Chekhov, Gogol, Pasternak - have acknowledged these stories among their permanent models. Describing the clash of wills, baroque courtships, and lightning chases over the steppes, Pushkin single - handedly stormed an age of barbaric and imitative literature. His brooding soldiers, fragile ladies, perversely benevolent Cossacks, and paranoid gamblers act out their pageants of persecution and lust against the Gothic silence of frontier Russia. In Pushkin we have a writer who, brimming over with impressions of life, strove to portray them in prose and poetry with the utmost truth and realism, achieving his goal with all the brilliancy of genius.' Maxim Gorky. Contains - THE QUEEN OF SPADES, THE TALES OF IVAN BELKIN: The Shot, Blizzard, The Undertaker, The Postmaster, Lady Into Lassie, DUBROVSKY, THE CAPTAIN'S DAUGHTER. inventory #29226 ISBN: 0451500709.
