SEELANGS Digest - 24 Aug 2012 to 25 Aug 2012 (#2012-297)

[Paul Richardson]

Yelena:

Two recommendations for collections of 20th Century lit:

Life Stories
This is a wonderful collection of original works by 19 leading Russian writers. They are life-affirming stories of love, family, hope, rebirth, mystery and imagination. Masterfully translated by some of the best Russian-English translators working today, these tales reassert the power of Russian literature to affect readers of all cultures in profound and lasting ways. Best of all, 100% of the profits from the sale of this book will go to benefit Russian hospice—not-for-profit care for fellow human beings who are nearing the end of their own life stories.

>> Can someone tell me which, if any, anthologies of Russian 20th century literature they've used in their undergraduate courses?  I have experience with Clarence Brown's Portable 20th Century Russian Reader but am wondering if there are others out there that people recommend.  I'm specifically interested in those that contain prose works rather than poetry.
