Russian literature exudes an atmosphere of mysticism, which is said to be a natural result of the simplicity of her people. Often, instead of being "about" anything, Russian stories sometimes seem to be the "thing" in itself. Be this as it may, it is an undeniable fact that with hardly any portent of future greatness to come, Russian literature suddenly sprang fully developed into existence in the 19th century. One after another, from Pushkin to Chekhov, some of the greatest writers who have ever lived emerged from the steppes, forests, and cities of Mother Russia.

Selections in Volume I:

  • In "The Shot", by Alexander Pushkin, a duel is postponed so that it may be continued at a more propitious time.
  • "The Overcoat", by Nikolai Gogol, is the hilarious tale of a lowly bureaucrat who suddenly finds himself in need of a new overcoat.
  • "The Tryst", by Ivan Turgenev, is a gorgeous, masterfully written first person narrative of a hunter who overhears two young people: one who loves and one who does not.
  • In "The Wedding", by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, when a man is invited to a children's ball, he witnesses an amazing incident. Five years later, a posh wedding clarifies everything.
  • In "A Prisoner in the Caucasus", by Leo Tolstoy, Tartar rebels take a Russian officer prisoner in order to collect a ransom. But the officer's one thought throughout his cruel ordeal is to escape.
  • In "An Upheaval", by Anton Chekhov, a young governess accused of theft learns the identity of the real culprit.

narration is solid and well done. stories are traditionally russian in their bleakness. don't look for happy endings! even with that component, the book is worth hearing.

well narrated,, typically bleak russian stories.

Great authors, excellent selections, well produced, highly recommended for lovers of Russia and of foreign cultures.

Excellent Recordings

These Russian stories have a different "motive" for their existence than do Western stories. Very entertaining. Human nature is always the same, anywhere, anytime.

Unique stories

This is a really good introduction to classic Russian literature. The music was, however, a bit distracting when played at the same time as the narration. In addition, the narrator seemed to be a bit bored by some of the stories.

I liked the Gogol the best and will be looking for more by him.

Great collection!

I only gave the stories three stars because their characters are unpleasant to spend time with. Otherwise, of course these are great stories. The tellings compel my attention. The best part of the experience are Mr. Griffin’s performances. He’s fantastic.

Brilliant tellings of sad events

It's an excellent collection in content and narration.

Definitely worth the purchase.

I have no regrets.

Excellent!!

Excellent narration matched to timeless short stories. Russia is a cold and different world from America and these shorts are a good, yet tiny, introduction to the world of Russian literature.

This is one of the best performances I've listened. The music is very thoughtfully chosen. Highly recommended.

The finest!

If you could sum up Classic Russian Short Stories, Volume 1 in three words, what would they be?

Very nice stories.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked how different stories from different Russian authors were included, that way you get a nice taste of what Russian literature has to offer.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Charlton Griffin?

Yes, I quite like his narration. I do have one qualm: his female voices sound unnaturally high-pitched, almost as if in post production they raised the pitch (I don't know if this is the case or not).

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Russian literature is, for me, always packed with emotion. I didn't exactly laugh or cry outright, but I did feel the emotion in the stories.

Any additional comments?

The music adds a nice touch.

Nice selection of classic Russian shorts
