Classics of the Russian Short Story No. 18

Want to be truly educated and erudite? Read and listen to classic literature. After all, it contains not only historical facts, but also stories about daily life and customs of different eras, and even the gastronomic preferences of people of that time—plus, of course, a great deal of other interesting things, described through the eyes of witnesses who tell us what happened to them in one period or another. For example, in this collection you’ll find an audio version of stories by Russian writers from the beginning of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th.
