Welcome to Litsy!

December 19: The Snowstorm by Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837). This story first appeared in his collection The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belton in 1831. The story is translated by T. Keane.

Two star-crossed lovers decide to elope to get married. The only problem is that the day they choose, there‘s a snowstorm. I didn‘t see the twist at the end.

I‘ve been intimidated by Russian literature for a long time but I finally started with this collection! I loved it. “Dubrovsky” and “The Captain‘s Daughter” were my favorite. I definitely recommend Pushkin and this book is a great way to explore his works!

Loving Pushkin‘s short stories. #amreading #currentlyreading

#TBRtemptation post 2! Considered the father of Russian literature, Pushkin is loved for his poetry and also his stories, ranging from dramatic love stories to comical tales to satirical epistolaries. This volume includes all of his prose with well-praised new translations of such masterpieces as "The Queen of Spades" and "The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin". #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

#TBRtemptation post! It's Pushkin! All of his masterly work available in one beautiful spot. What more needs be said? Lol. .....It's Pushkin! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

And just how—HOW, I ask you—was I supposed to leave this book lonesome on the bottom shelf at the bookstore? It would have been a gross injustice (read: responsible decision). Fortunately, I'm neither unjust nor responsible and this lovely edition is now safe in my home. 😊

Last but not least, a little Russian influence... #nosuchthingastoomanybooks #bookhaul

Shopping for others and found this. I love Pushkin's work -- and he has a cameo in the novel I'm writing! (Also? I love Pevear and Volokhonsky's translation of "Anna Karenina.")
