Chtenia #20

[Paul Richardson]

Dear Lovers of Russian Literature:

We are happy to announce the publication of our twentieth issue of "Chtenia: Readings from Russia." The only regularly published periodical of Russian literature in translation, Chtenia is a quarterly journal that also features memoirs, poetry, humor, general non-fiction and photography. Each 128-page issue has a theme, and all the readings in the issue revolve around that theme. An annual subscription to Chtenia is $35 (in the US). Back issues are available for $10 plus s&h.

Following on the success of Chtenia 12 (Chekhov Bilingual), Chtenia 20's theme is "Tolstoy Bilingual" and features works by Tolstoy from across the full span of his career, presented side-by-side in English and [accented] Russian translation. This makes the volume not just a good survey of Tolstoy's work (especially the lesser known bits), but a great language learning tool. Some of the works included are:

Fanfaronov's Mountain
The Cossacks
After the Ball
Alyosha the Pot
and of course War & Peace and Anna K.

The Curator for Chtenia 20 was Lydia Razran Stone.

Thank you.
