5.0 out of 5 stars
Quality reader,
By Lisa Andrews (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Unforgettable Classics: Russian Reader Intermediate-Advanced, 19th Century (Paperback)
I read quite a few Russian readers, and it seems that most of them are a mere compilation of works of the Russian writers without exercises, with poor translations and dry authors' biographies. This is not the case with Unforgettable Classics. This book brings 5 beautiful stories (After the Ball by Leo Tolstoy, Anna on the Neck by Anton Chekhov, Bela, a chapter from A Hero of Our Time by Mikhail Lermontov, Asya by Ivan Turgenev and Gambler by Fyodor Dostoyevsky) alive with comments, footnotes, explanations, and vocabulary lists for every paragraph. I love informational asides the Author puts into her books. I loved them in her previous textbook, Russian Basic-Intermediate, and I love them now. I would definitely recommend this quality reader to anyone learning Russian.
