Review: Wonderful little book - Great value. I never progressed past beginner with Russian, and I still flip through this book from time to time. The stories are wonderful, so even just reading the English side is great. Exploring the footnotes can give you interesting little tidbits about culture, and it's actually kind of fun to compare differences in sentence structure between the two sides. The two versions are laid out well enough that you can quickly find the translation across the binding. If you want to test your comprehension (or maybe retention is a better word), there are short sets of quiz-like questions in the back for every story as well! They even included a short dictionary in the back of words that were not common enough to know off-hand, but used in the book. All around great purchase. Even if you are only armed with a recreational interest in Russian I think you could still get something out of this book (although maybe a straight English collection of the stories may be a little lighter), and not feel too bad about parting with the money for it. Really recommended!
Review: A Great Introduction to Serious Russian Literature - This is a reprint of a book from a series of bilingual readers that that first came out under Bantam Publishers in the 1960's. It was out of print, then Dover did what it does best: It bought the rights to "Russian Stories" and made it available to a whole new generation of intermediate-to-advanced language learners. In line with the other books in the series, it presents the original text on the left side with a good translation into English on the right page. (One of its sister-books, "First German Reader," is how I initially made the jump from being a beginner to becoming eventually fluent in that language.) "Russian Stories" brings you selections from masters of Russian prose, such as Pushkin, Gogol, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and Chekhov, as well as more recent authors. It even gives the reader advice on which order in which to read the stories, starting from the easiest and progressing to more difficult texts. If you want to read real Russian literature--not simplified versions or textbook anecdotes--this is the place to begin.

This dual-language book is a great way to learn Russian, provided that you have an intermediate or better knowledge of the language. The story selection is also excellent.
