Taking place over a short, turbulent period in 1905, 'Petersburg' is a colourful evocation of Russia's capital—a kaleidoscope of images and impressions, an eastern window on the west, a symbol of the ambiguities and paradoxes of the Russian character. History, culture, and politics are blended...

| ISBN | 0140441395 |
Leo Tolstoy began his trilogy, Childhood, Boyhood, Youth, in his early twenties. Although he would in his old age famously dismiss it as an ‘awkward mixture of fact and fiction’, generations of readers have not agreed, finding the novel to be a charming and insightful portrait of inner growth against...

| Author | Aleksandr Ostrovsky |
| ISBN | 5170168969 |

To be fair, though - it wasn't Ostrovsky's doing. We have Guzeeva's performance in "Cruel Romance" to thank for that. Like so many...
