Mysterious Tales

The great Russian classic writes about ghosts, about love that is no obstacle even for death, about mysterious dreams and meetings with the dead!

In the author’s works—“Fathers and Sons” and “A Hunter’s Notes”—novellas and stories with a mysterious, mystical, and even dark undertone occupy a special place; the secrets of the soul and strange, hard-to-understand phenomena have always fascinated Turgenev. “Ghosts,” “A Dog,” “Klara Milich,” “The Song of Triumphant Love,” and other works included in this collection are stories about ghosts, about love that even death cannot stop, about mysterious dreams and encounters with the dead.
