Annotation
This title comprises a difficult and uncompromising short tale by the Russian master Turgenev, and four additional tales. It includes "The Duellist", an early (1846) study of contrasting characters which clearly demonstrates his movement away from the romantic and melodramatic tradition in Russian literature, and towards his unerringly realistic portraiture of individual lives, a skill that is perhaps most perfectly expressed in his short works. This title includes five short tales by Turgenev: "The Jew", "An Unhappy Girl", "The Duellist", "Three Portraits" and "Enough", in Constance Garnett's classic 1900 translation.
