The Tales of Belkin

The book presents all five stories from the cycle "The Tales of Belkin": "The Shot", "The Blizzard", "The Undertaker", "The Stationmaster", and "The Young Lady-Peasant". The works of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin are part of the golden fund of Russian classical literature, the school extracurricular reading program, and summer reading lists.

"The Tales of Belkin" tell about people of different classes, characters, and fates. Together, they represent different facets of the Russian character – sharp intellect, nobility, resilience, the ability to love and empathize.

Vivid plots and bright images of the characters will help students better understand Russian prose. Pushkin’s heroes will show young readers by their own example how important it is to be honest and magnanimous, to take responsibility for one’s actions, and that happiness does not depend on social status.
