Russian Stories rounds up marvellous short stories by all the Russian heavyweights,including Pushkin,Lermontov,Gogol,Dostoevsky,Tolstoy,Turgenev,Chekhov,Bulgakov,Babel and Nabokov,and continuing up to contemporary writers such as Tatyana Tolstaya and the recent Nobel Prize winner,Svetlana Alexievich. There is no similar one-volume collection of the best of the Russian greats in English. Women writers are particularly well represented and predominate in the last fifty years; also included is a story by the recently rediscovered Teffi,who was widely hailed a century ago in Russia as'the female Chekhov'.
