Great Russian Short Stories Of The Twentieth Century

Helpful book

Excellent product. Excellent service.

残念ながらударенияは付いていません。解説もRussian Stories: A Dual-Language Book [Russian-English](こちらはударения付き)より詳しくありません。というわけで、学習用にはちょっと非効率的です。

Nice book and story, this is also great for beginners who are learning russian language, but I have a question why this is not the same cover of the first two photos ?(which is more apeling than the thrid photo...) :/

Great Russian Short Stories, by Yelena Francis (translator and editor) is a collection of known short stories, by known authors, but also less known outside Russia (for example, A. Grin and L. Zinovieva-Annibal). This book is not only for a dual language reader, although from the reaction of those, it is clear, what a delight it is to be able to read the original and then see the skilful and inspired translation. For people who learn either Russian or English it is valuable learning tool. However, at the same time, this book is also for those who are interested in Russia. It is a glimpse into the soul of the Russian people, their social interactions, from simple folks to complex intellectuals. The book is easy to read and the stories are moving. The book has illustrations at the beginning of each story, which gives it an added appeal by augmenting ones imagination and reinforcing the feeling of reality. Most stories are worthy of several reading.This book I recommend to young & older students of Russian Culture and History, Russian Language, and those who simply like excellent literature.

For me it reading is the best way for me to learn sentence formation and expression. This little book allows me to checkthe English right there, so is better than having to go back and forth with dictionaries or grammar books.
