This is a new translation by Anthony Briggs of Alexander Pushkin's short stories "The Queen of Spades" and "The Stationmaster," as well as of some of his best-known poetry. "The Queen of Spades" is one of the most famous tales in Russian literature, and inspired the eponymous opera by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky; in "The Stationmaster," Pushkin reworks the parable of the Prodigal Son; "Tsar Nikita and his Forty Daughters" is a bawdy early poem; and the narrative poem "The Bronze Horseman" is among Pushkin's best-known and most influential works. The volume also includes a small selection of Pushkin's best lyric poetry.
