This dual-language volume contains 12 such stories -- memorable tales by Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Pushkin, Chekhov, Gogol, Turgenev, Bunin, and other masters. Each selection is presented here in the original Russian with an excellent literal English translation on the facing pages. Also included are linguistic and cultural notes, a Russian-English vocabulary, study questions and more. In addition, Professor Struve has supplied an enlightening introduction to the Russian short story, as well as concise biographical/critical introductions to each selection. An especially helpful feature for students of Russian is the presence of stress accents in the Russian text, a feature usually found only in primers.

Fantastic Book
This book is an extremely wonderful resource for learning Russian. Along with all of the stories written in Russian, the opposite page offers an accurate English translation of the story. The plots vary, but the content is very well known in Russia. If you have a relatively good grasp of the Russian language, you should have no problem reading the book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
