Gleb Struve Livres

Twelve superb tales by Chekhov, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Pushkin, Bunin, other masters. Excellent word-for-word English translations on facing pages. Also teaching and practice aids, Russian-English vocabulary, biographical/critical introductions to each selection, study questions, more. Especially helpful are the stress accents in the Russian text, usually found only in primers.

This book, first published in 1944, is a comprehensive survey of post- revolutionary Russian literature up to the early 1940s. A huge range of writers are examined, and as a wide-ranging analysis of Soviet literature, this book has rarely been bettered.
