Download or read book Short Story Classics Foreign Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by William Patten and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short Story Classics (Foreign) - Volume One is a collection of popular Russian short stories that have been translated into English. This title was originally published as part of a larger collection that also includes volumes featuring classic short stories from Italy, France, Scandinavia, and Germany. Volume One includes sixteen short stories by fourteen different authors. Included in this collection are works from some of Russian literature's most prominent figures, including Fyodor Dostoevsky, Anton Chekhov and Leo Tolstoy. These stories are the highlight of the collection, but certainly not the only works of value. Stories by Nikolai Gogol, Ivan Turgenev, Maxim Gorki, and Eugene Chirikov make this a well-rounded collection that includes authors from various time periods and who write in dramatically different styles. Editor William Patten has done a wonderful job selecting the texts to be included in this collection. There are comedies, tragedies, mysteries, and romances, and the editor has managed to construct an excellent survey of popular Russian literature. While these are short stories, these are not readings intended for a young audience. Many of the works are challenging, and some deal with fairly mature subject matter. The stories included in this collection would certainly be best appreciated by mature readers, and in particular those fond of Russian literature. As an introduction into the short stories of Russia, Short Story Classics (Foreign) - Volume One is a rousing success. Patten has expertly selected works, both popular and lesser known, that are representative of Russian literature. Any individual interested in short stories from around the world will certainly enjoy this collection, which can also serve as an introduction to some of Russia's greatest artists.

Download or read book Best Russian Short Stories The Original Classic Edition written by Various and published by Tebbo. This book was released on 2011-11-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first all the stories are just depressing. Some memorably so, others humorously so, others still just morosely so. Many are about poverty, vices, the lusts of money, fear of the cold, or loneliness, oppression, and cruelty, but each of them seems to focus very strongly on the crappiness of life. They stay with you, and they keep pulling you along. Best of all, they can be taken in at length- most short stories collections get tiring after three or four stories, here it's possible to read them all in a sitting and enjoy every one of them. At first you are depressed, being hammered with these themes, but about 60% of the way through these very well written pieces you realize that these Russians understand something our modern Western culture doesn't: people are rotten; and somehow this formerly depressing literature becomes a masterpiece of art. They are painting you a picture of life that you don't want to hear, the truth that when the veneer of life is stripped away people are just no good, even down to the smallest child we are one and alike worthless. Counter-intuitively, it's very refreshing to see the honest truth, and as a consequence you will remember these stories for the rest of your life. These Russian writers, they *get* it, they make it hit home in a way that doesn't happen very often from new books or television or movies. Alas, by in large the writers are a post Christian bunch, so instead of celebrating their brokenness and the kindness of God they are left with a void, but unlike Camus who decides to fill his philosophy with nonsense words the Russian masters quietly abstain in favor of just showing you life through their eyes. They just stare at the void in humanity. They don't explain it, nor mourn it, nor fantasize on what might make it go away, nor do they really accept it, they just show you to it. They show you real life, a life without redemption, without long term goals, and it's frankly brilliant. Really it is. This is a high quality book of the original classic edition. It was previously published by other bona fide publishers, and is now, finally, back in print. This is a freshly published edition of this culturally important work, which is now, at last, again available to you.

Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the reign of the Tsars in the early 19th century to the collapse of the Soviet Union and beyond, the short story has long occupied a central place in Russian culture. Included are pieces from many of the acknowledged masters of Russian literature - including Pushkin, Turgenev, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and Solzhenitsyn - alongside tales by long-suppressed figures such as the subversive Kryzhanowsky and the surrealist Shalamov. Whether written in reaction to the cruelty of the bourgeoisie, the bureaucracy of communism or the torture of the prison camps, they offer a wonderfully wide-ranging and exciting representation of one of the most vital and enduring forms of Russian literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Russian Masterpieces Ore than ninety per cent. Of the Russian people never read short stories. They create them, tell them, listen to them. The popular Russian short story, is the shake or fairy tale, which belongs to the province of folklore, probably the richest, most varied, wise, and clever of all folklores of Europe, having absorbed all the richest elements of the East and some of the West. But the short story in the sense in which it is under stood by Americans, is the product of the journalization of literature, of the daily press, which did not develop in Russia until the seventies of the nineteenth century. The predecessor of the newspaper, the big monthly, created the serial, the three-volume novel, usually covering the year with its twelve voluminous instalments.

Download or read book Classical Russian Short Stories written by Alexander Pushkin and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conceive the joy of a lover of nature who, leaving the art galleries, wanders out among the trees and wild flowers and birds that the pictures of the galleries have sentimentalised. It is some such joy that the man who truly loves the noblest in letters feels when tasting for the first time the simple delights of Russian literature. French and English and German authors, too, occasionally, offer works of lofty, simple naturalness; but the very keynote to the whole of Russian literature is simplicity, naturalness, veraciousness. Another essentially Russian trait is the quite unaffected conception that the lowly are on a plane of equality with the so-called upper classes. When the Englishman Dickens wrote with his profound pity and understanding of the poor, there was yet a bit; of remoteness, perhaps, even, a bit of caricature, in his treatment of them. He showed their sufferings to the rest of the world with a "Behold how the other half lives!" The Russian writes of the poor, as it were, from within, as one of them, with no eye to theatrical effect upon the well-to-do. There is no insistence upon peculiar virtues or vices. The poor are portrayed just as they are, as human beings like the rest of us. A democratic spirit is reflected, breathing a broad humanity, a true universality, an unstudied generosity that proceed not from the intellectual conviction that to understand all is to forgive all, but from an instinctive feeling that no man has the right to set himself up as a judge over another, that one can only observe and record.

Download or read book Old Peter s Russian Tales Classic Reprint written by Arthur Ransome and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Peter's Russian Tales The stories in this book are those that Russian peasants tell their children and each other. In Russia hardly anybody is too old for fairy stories, and I have even heard soldiers on their way to the war talking of very wise and very beautiful princesses as they drank their tea by the side of the road. I think there must be more fairy stories told in Russia than anywhere else in the world. In this book are a few of those I like best. I have taken my own way with them more or less, writing them mostly from memory. They, or versions like them, are to be found in the coloured chap-books, in Afanasiev's great collection, or in solemn, serious volumes of folklorists writing for the learned. My book is not for the learned, or indeed for grown-up people at all. No peoplewho really like fairy stories ever grow up altogether. This is a book written far away in Russia, for English children who play in deep lanes with wild roses above them in the high hedges, or by the small singing becks that dance down the grey fells at home. Russian fairyland is quite different. Under my windows the wavelets of the Volkhov (which has its part in one of the stories) are beating quietly in the dusk. A gold light burns on a timber raft floating down the river. Beyond the river in the blue midsummer twilight are the broad Russian plain and the distant forest. Some where in that forest of great trees - a forest so big that the forests of England are little woods beside it - is the hut where old Peter sits at night and tells.
