About the book

Russian Short Stories brings together fiction from the great Russian literary tradition, showcasing the remarkable strength of the short-story form in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century literature. The stories range from social satire and psychological realism to tragedy and the absurd. Through concise narratives and sharply observed characters, they explore poverty, love, bureaucracy, morality and the complexities of everyday life.
