Dostoevsky's life was marked by brilliance and brutality. Sentenced to death as a young revolutionary, he survived mock execution and Siberian exile to live through a time of seismic change in Russia, eventually being accepted into the Tsar's inner circle. Somehow, amidst all this, he found time to write short stories, journalism, and novels. In Dostoevsky in Love, Alex Christofi weaves carefully chosen excerpts of the author's work with the historical context to form an illuminating and often surprising whole.

Александр Сергеевич Пушкин, безусловно, был великим поэтом и писателем. Но кроме всего прочего, он слыл азартным игроком и заядлым картежником. Однажды генерал-губернатор Дмитрий Голицын рассказал Пушкину байку о своей матери - княгине Наталье Борисовне.

«Метель» — изысканный образец пушкинской прозы, где поэзия зимней природы переплетается с драмой человеческих страстей. История любви, трагедии и случайностей раскрывается через живую картину русской усадебной жизни начала XIX века. Пушкин мастерски сочетает романтическое напряжение, психологическую точность и великолепное описание природы, создавая атмосферу трепета и ожидания, в которой судьба героев переплетается с буйством метели и непредсказуемостью судьбы.

Konstantin Paustovsky was a Russian writer nominated for the Nobel Prize for literature in 1965, 1966,1967,1968. Paustovsky began writing while still in Gymnasium. His first works were imitative poetry but he restricted his writing to prose after Ivan Bunin wrote in a letter to him: "I think that your sphere, your real poetry, is prose. It is here, if you are determined enough, that I am sure you can achieve something significant."

This collection brings together stories and reflections in which Leo Tolstoy turns inward. Stripped of grandeur, these works offer something more intimate: the inner noise of conscience, the weight of faith, the silence before death. A servant's silence, a horse's memory, a dying man's doubt—these are not performances. They are questions, waiting quietly for whoever dares to ask the same. Tolstoy isn't offering answers. He's writing toward something deeper. And the questions haven't aged a day.

"Вий - есть колоссальное создание простонародного воображения. Таким именем называется у малороссиян начальник гномов, у которого веки на глазах идут до самой земли. Вся эта повесть есть народное предание. Я не хотел ни в чем изменять его и рассказываю почти в такой же простоте, как слышал." - Н.В. Гоголь.

These masterly poems span the whole of Nabokov's career from "Music", written in 1914, to the short, playful "To Vera", composed in 1974. The works are newly translated by Dmitiri Nabokov, and include "The University Poem", an extraordinary autobiographical poem in which Nabokov recalls his life in Cambridge, with its crooked alleys and age-old gates, teas at the vicar's and British girls. Included to are such poems as "To Russia" ("Will you leave me alone! I implore you!), the enchanting "Eve", and verse about America, sport, love, and poetry itself.

As Viv Groskop knows from experience, everything that has ever happened to a person has already happened in the Russian classics: from not being sure what to do with your life (Anna Karenina), to being hopelessly in love with someone who doesn’t love you back (Turgenev’s A Month in the Country), or being socially anxious about your appearance (all of Chekhov’s work). In The Anna Karenina Fix, Groskop mines these and other works, as well as the lives of their creators and her own experiences as a student of Russian, to answer the question “How should you live your life?”

Gogol's great comic masterpiece paints an hilariously satirical picture of provincial life in 19th century Russia. Its publication in 1847 not only provided inspiration for succeeding generations of Russian writers, but fanned the already flickering flames of social discontent which were eventually to flare up and consume Russia in the revolution of 1917.

Игрок — произведение классика русской литературы и одного из лучших романистов мирового уровня Ф. М. Достоевского (1821–1881). Это захватывающая история азарта, ставшего для героя не просто смыслом игры в рулетку и даже не смыслом жизни, а просто основой бытия в состоянии постоянного психологического дискомфорта. Достоевский известен как автор многих выдающихся произведений: "Подросток", "Записки из мертвого дома", "Двойник", "Дядюшкин сон", "Идиот", "Братья Карамазовы", "Чужая жена и муж под кроватью", "Сон смешного человека", "Дневник писателя".

Dmitry Andreich Olenin, in the hope of escaping the hollowness of his privilege, joins the army and heads to the Caucasus. There among the foothills he will meet the Cossacks: a people he considers to be at one with the land.

The Cherry Orchard (1903) is the final play by the Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. It is considered as one of four outstanding plays by Chekhov, along with The Seagull, Three Sisters, and Uncle Vanya. The narrative recounts an aristocratic landowner who returns to her family estate just before it is auctioned to pay the mortgage. It dramatizes the socio-economic developments in Russia at the turn of the 20th century, including the rise of the middle class after the abolition of serfdom and the waning power of the aristocracy.
