From the award-winning translators: the complete prose narratives of the most acclaimed Russian writer of the Romantic era and one of the world's greatest storytellers. The father of Russian literature, Pushkin is beloved not only for his poetry but also for his brilliant stories, which range from dramatic tales of love, obsession, and betrayal to dark fables and sparkling comic masterpieces, from satirical epistolary tales and romantic adventures in the manner of Sir Walter Scott to imaginative historical fiction and the haunting dreamworld of "The Queen of Spades." The five short stories of The Late Tales of Ivan Petrovich Belkin are lightly humorous and yet reveal astonishing human depths, and his short novel, The Captain's Daughter, has been called the most perfect book in Russian literature.

Alexander Pushkin began writing his first works at the age of seven. By the time he died in a duel at the age of thirty-seven, Pushkin had composed hundreds of works: lyrical poems, fairy tales, historical prose, romance novels, and even theoretical works on literature and journalistic articles. It is no wonder that readers and scholars consider him to be one of the fathers of Russian modern literary language. While during his life, the quality and breadth of his writing marked him as one of the first Russian authors to have earned a living from his craft, it later led him to be called the “Sun of Russian Poetry.” Pushkin’s works are essential reading for anyone hoping to understand the Russian soul.
