Great Russian Short Stories of the Twentieth Century: A Dual-Language Book — 2013
This dual-language anthology features more than a dozen 20th-century tales translated into English for the first time. Contents include "The Fugitive" by Vladimir A. Gilyarovsky, "The Present" by Leonid Andreev, "Trataton" by Dimitry Mamin-Sibiryak, and "Life Granted" by Aleksandr Grin, plus stories by Vasily Grossman, Aleksandr Kuprin, Stepan Skitalets, and others
Some may come into this book with the thought that they are going to be getting some great English translations of little known or unknown Russian poets, and yes, there is that. But the title of this book is Verses and Versions. So, the Version aspect of this book - which is the complex process of translation itself and the results there of - takes center stage as well. From both standpoints, this is a delightful read.
