Free Downloads Tales Of The Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin, The Queen Of Spades, The Captain's Daughter, Peter The Great's Blackamoor (Oxford World's Classics)
This volume contains new translations of four of Pushkin's best works of fiction. The Queen of Spades has long been acknowledged as one of the world's greatest short stories, in which Pushkin explores the nature of obsession. The Tales of Belkin are witty parodies of sentimentalism, while Peter the Great's Blackamoor is an early experiment with recreating the past. The Captain's Daughter is a novel-length masterpiece which combines historical fiction in the manner of Sir Walter Scott with the devices of the Russian fairy-tale. The Introduction provides close readings of the stories and places them in their European literary context.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

I wish to make it clear that the 2001 review published below when I was at Oberlin College is NOT of this Oxford World Classics edition-- with which I am unfamiliar-- but rather of a previous Dover Thrift Edition.I am shocked that places reviews of different translated editions of the same title(s) interchangably.-David ShengoldPhiladelphia PA
Enjoyed these stories very much.
This collection of Pushkin's short stories includes his masterpiece-The Queen of Spades-as wellas some of his other best stories. The translation is excellant. This book is recommened.
