From the award-winning translators: the complete prose narratives of the most acclaimed Russian writer of the Romantic era and one of the world's greatest storytellers. The father of Russian literature, Pushkin is beloved not only for his poetry but also for his brilliant stories, which range from dramatic tales of love, obsession, and betrayal to dark fables and sparkling comic masterpieces, from satirical epistolary tales and romantic adventures in the manner of Sir Walter Scott to imaginative historical fiction and the haunting dreamworld of "The Queen of Spades." The five short stories of The Late Tales of Ivan Petrovich Belkin are lightly humorous and yet reveal astonishing human depths, and his short novel, The Captain's Daughter, has been called the most perfect book in Russian literature.From the Hardcover edition.

The play, set in Denmark, recounts how Prince Hamlet exacts revenge on his uncle Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father, the King, and then taken the throne and married Gertrude, Hamlet's mother. The play vividly charts the course of real and feigned madness—from overwhelming grief to seething rage—and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and moral corruption. Views: 13

Parmia Leeosa is left with one asset—his sentient sidearm, Markes. Following months
of struggles, she reluctantly decides to utilize her one talent—the latent
sexual empathy she inherited from her mother. Five years later, after
countless unpleasant sexual encounters, she accepts a last,
distasteful job that will allow her to return to the sheltered life she’d
enjoyed before her father’s death. With the remaining credits, she’ll finally be
financially secure enough to grant Markes his freedom.
Weary of hunting and longing to find a bond mate he can
settle down with, Delsin Adarinas, an unwilling but successful bounty hunter,
reluctantly accepts a final, lucrative job. Unfortunately, the job is on Denhari,
the home planet he fled years earlier. When he and Parmia meet, the attraction
is immediate and powerful. Too bad collecting his bounty depends on capturing
her and damning her to a life of sexual servitude.
