A celebrated collection of short fiction from one of Russia's most gifted pre-revolutionary writers, Tales gathers some of Alexander Kuprin's most enduring and masterfully crafted stories into a single, definitive volume. Kuprin chronicles the full breadth of human experience — from tender romance and social injustice to the harsh realities of provincial Russian life — with a naturalistic intensity and compassionate eye that place him firmly in the tradition of Chekhov and Tolstoy. Translated from the Russian by Douglas Ashby and introduced by A.B. McMillin, this Heron Books edition presents Kuprin's work to English-language readers with both scholarly care and literary sensitivity. Original frontispieces by Jean-Pierre Meyer and illustrations by Patrick Heron further enrich this beautifully produced edition, making it as much an object of art as a work of literature.
