This volume contains new translations of four of Pushkin's best works of fiction. <em>The Queen of Spades</em> has long been acknowledged as one of the world's greatest short stories, in which Pushkin explores the nature of obsession. <em>The Tales of Belkin</em> are witty parodies of sentimentalism, while<br><em>Peter the Great's Blackamoor</em> is an early experiment with recreating the past. <em>The Captain's Daughter</em> is a novel-length masterpiece which combines historical fiction in the manner of Sir Walter Scott with the devices of the Russian fairy-tale. The Introduction provides close readings of the stories<br>and places them in their European literary context.<br><br><strong>About the Series:</strong> For over 100 years <strong>Oxford World's Classics</strong> has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
