Famous for his enormously influential poetry and plays, Alexander Pushkin is also beloved for his short stories. This collection showcases his tremendous range, which enabled him to portray the
Russian people through romance, drama, and satire. The sparkling humor of the five ��ales of Belkin��contrasts with a dark fable of gambling and obsessive greed in ��he Queen of Spades��and the
masterful historical novella, ��he Captain�� Daughter,��a story of love and betrayal set during a rebellion in the time of Catherine the Great.
