'The Captain's Daughter' in English + Russkie Skazki

[Wladimir Shatsev]

Dear Robert,I recommend you to translate B.Akunin's Tales for Idiots.In my opinion  the best of this collection of tales is The Problem 2000.It is real mirror of modern bandits and businessmen connections.Regards,

Vladimir Shatsev
