Chichikov, a mysterious stranger, arrives in a provincial town with a bizarre but seductive proposition for local landowners.

But what collateral will Chichikov receive for these "souls"?

Bulgakov was a Soviet playwright, novelist, and short story writer best known for his humor and penetrating satire. Because of their realism and humor, Bulgakov's works enjoyed great popularity, but their trenchant criticism of Soviet mores was increasingly unacceptable to the authorities. Bulgakov's short stories are a world unto themselves—sharp, witty, and often unsettling. In these pages, the absurdity of Soviet life collides with the supernatural, the grotesque meets the comic, and reality is always just a step away from slipping into nightmare.

With the writers of the Golden Age as her guides - Pushkin and Tolstoy, among others - Sara Wheeler searches for a Russia not in the news, traveling from rinsed northwestern beet fields and the Far Eastern Arctic tundra to the cauldron of nationalities, religions, and languages in the Caucasus. Wheeler follows local guides; boards with families in modest homestays; eats roe, pelmeni, and cabbage soup; invokes recipes from Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking; learns the language; and observes the pattern of outcry and silence that characterizes life under Vladimir Putin.

Une nuit, une rencontre, une illusion. Dans les rues silencieuses de Pétersbourg, un rêveur solitaire croise Nastenka, jeune femme au cœur brisé. Ensemble, le temps de quelques nuits blanches, ils tissent l'espoir d'un amour possible. Mais derrière la beauté fragile de cette parenthèse nocturne, Fiodor Dostoïevski, figure majeure de la littérature russe, interroge le poids des illusions, la cruauté du réel, et l'éternelle soif d'absolu. Un court roman d'une intensité rare, où le romantisme se heurte à la mélancolie du quotidien.

"Der Idiot" gehört zu den bekanntesten Romanen Fjodor Dostojewskis. Er wurde von dem Autor in Genf 1867 begonnen, in Mailand 1868 beendet und erschien erstmals von Januar 1868 bis Februar 1869 in einer Zeitschrift. Die Geschichte des Fürsten Myschkin, der für ungefähr ein halbes Jahr sein Schweizer Refugium verlässt und in die Petersburger Gesellschaft (und in was für eine!) gerät, zählt zu den ganz großen Werken der Weltliteratur.

This collection brings together stories and reflections in which Leo Tolstoy turns inward. Stripped of grandeur, these works offer something more intimate: the inner noise of conscience, the weight of faith, the silence before death. A servant's silence, a horse's memory, a dying man's doubt—these are not performances. They are questions, waiting quietly for whoever dares to ask the same. Tolstoy isn't offering answers. He's writing toward something deeper. And the questions haven't aged a day.

With his sense of humor and ability to observe, Nikolai Gogol presents the world with stories of little people: the weak and fragile people who try to hold on to life in the gloomy cities of Russia. The Mantle, which is listed among his masterpieces, describes how Russian bureaucracy turns everyone into a ghost of each other. It tells the tragicomic story of a poor low-ranking official named Akakiy Akakiyevich Bashmachkin, a faint character living on the margins of society who spends all his time diligently copying documents.
