Ardis

[Benjamin Rifkin]

When last I checked, Ardis had moved to California, but I don't have a
telephone number for it now.

As for readers for intermediate and advanced levels, I am very impressed
with a relatively new one, "The Golden Age of Russian Literature," edited
by Rosengrant and Lifschitz, Wiley & Sons, 1996.  I don't have the book at
hand at this moment, so I'm recalling the information about the book from
memory.

At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, our fifth-semester students have
been reading =ABNedelja kak nedelja=BB by Baranskaja in the Slavica edition;
our sixth-semester students have been reading a variety of short stories by
Pushkin, Lermontov, Turgenev, and Chekhov but most of those stories are
included in the Rosengrant & Lifschitz reader and we'll probably be using
that in Spring 1997.

In the past we've used the reader "New Voices" from Harcourt, Brace,
Jovanovich; at present we're using two of the stories in that reader
(=ABSanta Mariia=BB and =ABKira Georgievna=BB) in our fourth semester class.

I hope that this information is helpful.
