50 Great Russian Short Stories

"The Garnet Bracelet" is a rather short novel by Alexander Kuprin, exploring the romantic, yet unrequited emotions of the protagonist towards the love of his life. Written at the beginning of the 20th century and praised by the great names in Russian literature, Kuprin’s novel offers a valuable insight into the human soul. A beautiful and at the same time sad story, whose sorrowful tones are expressed through Beethoven’s 2nd Piano Sonata. Heartbreaking and melancholic, the story is a perfect read for those capable of experiencing enormous love. Alexander Kuprin was a Russian novelist, poet, and short-story writer, a representative of Russian critical realism. His life in the army account for his early autobiographical stories, an experience that stayed with him forever. A wielder of genuinely natural subject matter and language, Kuprin’s style is above all else tinged with passionate depiction of the human heart. However, the poverty of his family and Kuprin’s own problems with alcoholism paint a pretty gloomy picture of his years in emigration and later return to his homeland. Among his best works are "The Duel", "The Pit", "Moloch" and "The Garnet Bracelet".

50 Stories from Russia's Greatest Authors

De stora ryska författarna var mästare också i det lilla formatet och blev stilbildande för den moderna novellens utformning. Nu ger vi ut några av litteraturhistoriens starkast lysande klassiska noveller i efterlängtad nyöversättning, tillsammans med ett par ännu oupptäckta pärlor. Denna vackra volym rymmer alltifrån Dostojevskijs psykologiska djupborrningar till Tjechovs stillsamma precision, via namn som Pusjkin, Gogol och Tolstoj. Men här finns också verk från de något mindre kända Garsjin och Turgenjev, samt en till svenska ej tidigare översatt novell av Aleksandr Kuprin. Idag när det ryska samhället förändras under Putin och mytbildning och desinformation är nya ledord är det av stort värde att gå tillbaka till grunderna, att anstränga sig för att se bortom myterna och dimridåerna och försöka förstå en ny tid med litteraturens ofta klargörande blick. De åtta novellerna i denna bok är tidlösa historier av stora berättare.
