About this listen
Мы адресуем этот сборник не только всем ценителям русской классической литературы конца 19 начала 20 веков, но и учащимся общеобразовательных школ, гимназий и лицеев. Надеемся, что эти рассказы в прочтении популярных актеров театра и кино позволят вам не только лучше узнать русскую классическую литературу, но, и помогут в изучении программы школьного и внеклассного чтения.
В сборник вошли:
- "Песнь торжествующей любви" - одна из поздних повестей Ивана Сергеевича Тургенева, рассказывающая о дружбе, любви и слабости человека, подвластного игре неведомых сил и страстей, приблизивших его к краю небытия.
- "Лошадиная фамилия", "Каштанка", "Хамелеон" - знаменитые рассказы Антона Павловича Чехова, тонкого психолога и мастера подтекста, своеобразно сочетающего в своих произведениях воедино юмор, лиризм и трагедию.
- "Танька", "Лапти", "Антоновские яблоки" - рассказы Ивана Алексеевича Бунина, одного из величайших мастеров новеллы, развивающего в своих произведениях лучшие традиции русского классического реализма.
- "Отшельник" - рассказ Максима Горького, главный герой которого призывает к всеобщей любви и жалости к людям.
- "Леночка" - блистательная повесть Александра Ивановича Куприна о всепоглощающей, но очень хрупкой и незащищенной любви.
- "Яд", "Жена" - сатирические рассказы Аркадия Тимофеевича Аверченко, высмеивающие пошлость и меркантильность мыслей, эмоций, поступков "творческой интеллигенции".
- "Состязание" - произведение известного прозаика, литературоведа и критика Викентия Викентьевича Вересаева, рассказывающее о поисках скрытой, вечной, покоряющей Красоты.
- "Пещера" - рассказ самобытного русского писателя Евгения Ивановича Замятина, в котором автор сравнивает эпоху военного коммунизма с доисторическим, пещерным периодом развития человечества.

Толстого - ни по своим масштабам, ни по своей структуре не похож на классический роман. В нем нет традиционного любовного треугольника, любовного или социального конфликта как основы сюжета.

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
