Penguin Classics Book of Russian Short Stories

[Robert Chandler]

Dear all,

This will not be published until early 2005, but I have now done most of the
work.  Here is the contents list.  If anyone has a special interest in any
particular writer, and time to check through a story, I'd be delighted to
email texts to them.  I have revised all these translations many times, but
I know from experience that a fresh and attentive reader can always spot
passages that need to be improved.  Except where indicated, all the stories
are translated, or co-translated, by myself.

Thanks in advance,

Robert Chandler
