The Captain`s Daughter: Essential Stories

As complex as they are gripping, Pushkin`s stories are some of the greatest and most influential ever written. Foundational to the development of Russian prose, they retain stunning freshness and clarity, more than ever in Anthony Briggs`s finely nuanced translations.These are stories that upend expectations at every turn: in The Captain`s Daughter, Pushkin`s masterful novella of love and rebellion set during the reign of Catherine the Great, a mysterious encounter proves fatally significant during a brutal uprising, while in `The Queen of Spades` a man obsessively pursues an elderly woman`s secret for success at cards, with bizarre results.
