Give me more books like this!
As a long time student of Russian, I have found it very difficult to lay hands on dual language books like this one. On the left page is the original Russian text, and on the right is a corresponding (and very well rendered) English translation. The true beauty of this volume, though, is that the modern translation provides a bridge to the literary style from the age of the masters like Pushkin, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov and my personal favorite, Gogol, among many others. An even dozen stories allow intermediate to advanced Russian speakers to deepen their familiarity with this particular subset of the language. I would love to have many more books like this one. Highly recommended.
