Book excerpt: The stories in this anthology not only represent the highest literary quality but also typify the work of the author, making it a delightful selection of Russian prose. Twenty major Russian writers are represented in this collection, beginning with Pushkin, the founder of modern Russian literature, and concluding with contributions from such eminent modern writers as Vladimir Nabokov and Alexander Solzhenitsyn. The great novelist of the nineteenth century are included here, from Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky to Turgenev, alongside those writers who devoted their genius almost exclusively to the short story: Bunin, Babel and that master of the genre, Chekhov.
