Description GoodReads
This volume contains new translations of four of Pushkins best works of fiction. The Queen of Spades has long been acknowledged as one of the worlds greatest short stories, in which Pushkin explores the nature of obsession. The Tales of Belkin are witty parodies of sentimentalism, while Peter the Greats Blackamoor is an early experiment with recreating the past. The Captains Daughter 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 Queen of Spades is a short story with supernatural elements by Russian author Alexander Pushkin, written in 1833 and published in 1834 in the literary magazine Biblioteka dlya chteniya. The story centers on an elderly countess who is a skilled gambler. She never loses any card games, and reportedly has a secret card trick taught to her by a mysterious friend. When a man accosts her, demanding the secret to her success, he sets in motion a series of events that lead to his tragic downfall. Focusing on themes of human greed, the power of storytelling, and the blurred lines between what is real and what is supernatural, The Queen of Spades remains one of Pushkin s most widely read short stories, with Russian and Western literary analysts debating its meaning to this day. Many characters in the story are believed to have been inspired by real people, and Pushkin uses the real card game Faro to frame the story.
