Description
This dual-language edition brings together ten short stories by renowned Russian writers, many appearing in English for the first time. With parallel translations, students and literature enthusiasts can enjoy a diverse range of contemporary fiction without constant reference to a dictionary.
The stories span two decades, from the last years of the Soviet Union to its collapse, and showcase a period of dramatic social change. Writers such as Vladimir Sorokin, Ludmila Ulitskaya, Sergey Lukyanenko, and Ludmilla Petrushevskaya are joined by emerging voices like Alexander Ilichevsky, Evgeny Grishkovets, and Julia Kissina. The collection offers a range of literary styles that highlight the dynamism of contemporary Russian fiction.
Complete with notes, these stories make excellent reading in either language, providing a unique opportunity to engage with Russian literature without barriers.
