A review by jasonfurman
Novels, Tales, Journeys by Alexander Pushkin

5.0

Wonderful to have a complete collection of Pushkin's prose--including all the incomplete writings and fragments. While the published ones are the best (Tales of Belkin, The Queen of Spades and The Captain's Daughter), everything Pushkin wrote is various combinations of direct, vivid, insightful, funny, satirical, suspenseful and perceptive. The Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky translations are controversial with many but no issues jumped out with me and the accurate and completeness outweigh any downsides, especially when many of these are only available in very dated translations.

If you have not read Pushkin before, however, would start with the ones listed above and then sample from the rest.
