A dual-language edition of Russian stories-many appearing in English for the first time
This
new volume of ten short stories, with parallel translations, offers
students at all levels the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of
contemporary literature without constantly having to refer to a
dictionary.
The stories-many of which appear here in English for the first time-are by well-established writers like Vladimir Sorokin,
Ludmila Ulitskaya, Sergey Lukyanenko, and Ludmilla Petrushevskaya as
well as emerging voices like Alexander Ilichevsky, Evgeny Grishkovets,
and Julia Kissina. Drawn from the last two decades of the Soviet Union
and the two decades following its collapse, they chart a period of
dramatic social change, often using metaphors of the body, and represent
a range of literary styles that highlight the dynamism of contemporary
Russian fiction.
Complete with notes, the stories make excellent reading in either language.
