Description
Alexander Kuprin (1870-1938), one of fin de siècle Russia's most popular writers, is sadly neglected in the English-speaking world. His stories have captivated generations of readers with their vivid realism and lyrical beauty. This translation presents some of his most enduring works. The jewel of the collection is Olesya, an enchanting love story told with beauty and realism. Also included are The Garnet Bracelet, where a glittering duchess comes in contact with the unhappy depths of unrequited love, Sulamith, Kuprin's retelling of the Song of Solomon, as well as the short stories On a Moonlit Night, The Last Debut and The Bog. Ranging from dark psychological exploration to innocent naturalism, Kuprin's deft hand runs the gamut of human experience. This is a true classic which should not be neglected by readers of Russian literature.
