An Amateur Peasant Girl, and The Postmaster - all fascinating portraits of life in Tsarist Russia by one of that country’s greatest writers. Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837), Russia’s greatest poet and a versatile writer whose great gifts and profoundly Russian sensibility influenced all of modern Russian literature, produced short stories that are masterpieces of the craft.

Belkin. These include An Amateur Peasant Girl,
The Shot,
The Snowstorm,
The Postmaster, and The Coffin-Maker.
