Review: Great value. I never progressed past beginner with Russian, and I still flip through this book from time to time. The stories are wonderful, so even just reading the English side is great. Exploring the footnotes can give you interesting little tidbits about culture, and it's actually kind of fun to compare differences in sentence structure between the two sides. The two versions are laid out well enough that you can quickly find the translation across the binding. If you want to test your comprehension (or maybe retention is a better word), there are short sets of quiz-like questions in the back for every story as well! They even included a short dictionary in the back of words that were not common enough to know off-hand, but used in the book. All around great purchase. Even if you are only armed with a recreational interest in Russian I think you could still get something out of this book (although maybe a straight English collection of the stories may be a little lighter), and not feel too bad about parting with the money for it. Really recommended! Review: Trata-se de um ótimo livro para estudantes intermediários da língua russa. Possui o texto em russo ao lado da tradução integral em inglês. Além disso, as palavras em russo estão acentuadas para melhor enfatizar a sílaba tônica.

Dover Dual Language books are a great resource for language learning. This one lives up to that reputation with twelve classic Russian short stories

I had bought this book for my Learning Russian but for now I am reading the stories in English because they are very good
