La Dame de Pique et autres nouvelles

The eleven stories in this collection, in a new translation, offer a glimpse into the storytelling art of Pushkin, father of the Russian novel. From the Russian steppes to Saint Petersburg and the streets of Paris, Pushkin brings to life a host of emblematic characters, such as the mysterious Countess Anna Fedotovna, or Andrei Dubrovsky who, stripped of his land, decides to become a bandit.
