Most of the stories and poems in this are not memorable, though they are short enough to not make me regret reading them. Sometimes it seems Russian literature is some of the most profound things I've ever read, and other times it completely escapes me, like this book. ( ) A short selection from Pushkin's short stories, long poetry, plays and poetry. It is natural that Pushkin Press would want to publish some Pushkin and this is useful as a taster if you can get hold of it cheaply (I had it for 99 pence in the New Year Kindle sale), but otherwise a slightly unsatisfactory mishmash, other than the two short stories. I'm not certain the extracts from longer poems (e.g. Onegin) really work out of context, and I found the shorter verse a bit melodramatic. At the price I paid, handy to have to dip into while waiting for a bus, but hard to see how this would convince anyone to seek out more by this author. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A new English translation of two of Alexander Pushkin's greatest short stories, 'The Queen of Spades' and 'The Stationmaster', together with the poem 'The Bronze Horseman', extracts from Yevgeny Onegin and Boris Godunov, and a selection of his poetic work. 'The Queen of Spades' ('Pikovaya dama'), originally published in Russian in 1834, is one of the most famous tales in Russian literature, and inspired the eponymous opera by Tchaikovsky.
