From Pushkin to Chekhov

Books in the ‘Rereading the Classics’ series give a modern analysis of the works that form part of school literature curricula. This is the first attempt to provide a detailed insight into the spiritual, moral and religious aspects of the art of 19th and 20th century Russian writers. The series is offered as the basis of modern knowledge about Russian literature, which is necessary for high school students to pass school-leaving examinations and to gain admission to any institution of higher learning. The author of this manual has re-read such great works of Russian literary classics as ‘Eugene Onegin’ by Pushkin, ‘A Hero of Our Time’ and ‘Death of the Poet’ by Lermontov, ‘Dead Souls’ by Gogol, ‘Hunter's Notes’, the novella ‘Asya’ by Turgenev, Goncharov's ‘The Precipice’, Dostoyevsky's ‘Poor Folk’, ‘Notes from Underground’ and ‘The Brothers Karamazov’, Chekhov's ‘The Death of a Government Clerk.’
