Rese�a del editor

These stories are diverse and span a century of great change in Russian history. Readers will note a consistency of theme throughout the volume, as most of the stories deal somehow with the plight of the lowly citizen battling with the great governmental, industrial, and social systems of Russian society. But stylistically, the stories are vastly different, ranging from the realistic to the expressionistic and surreal. Tonally, the stories convey everything from tragic pathos to satire.

Biograf�a del autor

This collection spans the history of Russian short fiction from the Romanticism of Pushkin to the early 20th century. Included here are some of the greatest of Russian authors, like Turgenev, Dostoyevski, Chekhov, and Gorky, alongside other authors who idolized and were influenced by them. Several of the volume's more modern selections are by enemies of the Bolsheviks, many of whom spent their later years in exile in foreign countries writing diatribes against the Marxist revolution.
