Ghosts: Mysterious Tales

Ivan Turgenev’s mysterious tales offer an unusual acquaintance with a literary classic. In these works, life stories are shaped by fateful coincidences, fatalism, love, and death, creating a terrifying atmosphere. Turgenev skillfully manipulates the reader—sometimes asserting the truth of supernatural events, sometimes exposing them—always keeping the suspense. The collection includes the stories “Ghosts,” “Faust,” “A Song of Triumphant Love,” “Clara Milich (After Death),” as well as the tales “A Ride to Polesie,” “The Story of Lieutenant Yergunov,” “A Strange Story,” “Knock… knock… knock!..,” “Father Alexey’s Tale,” “A Dream,” and “The Dog.”
