For the last twenty years, George Saunders has been teaching a class on the Russian short story to his MFA students at Syracuse University. In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, he shares a version of that class with us, offering some of what he and his students have discovered together over the years. Paired with iconic short stories by Chekhov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Gogol, the seven essays in this book are intended for anyone interested in how fiction works and why it’s more relevant than ever in these turbulent times.

Story31
Evgenii Onegin is best known in the West through Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene Onegin. But the original narrative poem (consisting of 389 stanzas, the form of which has become known as the "Pushkin sonnet") is one of the landmarks of Russian literature. In the poem, the eponymous hero repudiates love, only to later experience the pain of rejection himself. Pushkin’s unique style proves timeless in its exploration of love, life, passion, jealousy, and the consequences of social convention.

Story63
Despite his early death from tuberculosis at the age of 44, Chekhov was a prolific writer and produced more than 250 short stories in addition to several novellas and a novel. The Russian was also a practicing doctor. A celebrated playwright, Anton Chekhov is often recognised as an influential figure of early modernism of the theatre in addition to being held in high esteem by the likes of George Bernard Shaw and Virginia Woolf, although much praise was not as forthcoming until after his death in 1904.

A century after it first appeared, Crime and Punishment remains one of the most gripping psychological thrillers. A poverty stricken young man, seeing his family making sacrifices for him, is faced with an opportunity to solve his financial problems with one simple but horrifying act: the murder of a pawnbroker. She is, he feels, just a parasite on society. But does the end justify the means?

Story5
A startling and revelatory examination of Nabokov’s life and works—notably Pale Fire and Lolita—bringing new insight into one of the twentieth century’s most enigmatic authors. Novelist Vladimir Nabokov witnessed the horrors of his century, escaping Revolutionary Russia then Germany under Hitler, and fleeing France with his Jewish wife and son just weeks before Paris fell to the Nazis. He repeatedly faced accusations of turning a blind eye to human suffering to write artful tales of depravity. But does one of the greatest writers in the English language really deserve the label of amoral aesthete bestowed on him by so many critics?

Story1
"No es una novela, aún menos un poema y aún menos una crónica histórica": así presentaba Lev N. Tolstói su monumental Guerra y paz, que, publicada por entregas en la revista El Mensajero Ruso entre 1865 y 1867 y en forma de libro en 1869, no dejó de causar desconcierto en su tiempo y luego, hasta nuestros días, apasionados intentos de definición. El propio autor decía que los libros más relevantes de la literatura rusa −como Almas muertas de Gógol y Memorias de la casa muerta de Dostoievski− se resistían a encajar en ningún género literario "europeo".

Bröderna Karamazov var den sista och största romanen, som Dostojevskij skrev, och den betraktas inte bara som Dostojevskijs största verk, men även som ett av världslitteraturens. En enastående roman om gott och ont, tro och tvivel, liv och död med genomgripande psykologiska porträtt, som visar människans sammansatta väsen på gott och ont. Det tas avstånd från nihilismen och istället framhävs betydelsen av skuld, ansvar och medkänsla.

Произведения Булгакова стали знамениты по всему миру, но слава пришла к нему только после смерти.

Белые ночи — произведение классика русской литературы и одного из лучших романистов мирового уровня Ф. М. Достоевского (1821–1881). Герой повести Мечтатель — своеобразный тип «лишнего человека». Но его критика обращена только на себя. Он не презирает общество, как Онегин или Печорин. Это альтруист, готовый прийти на помощь любому. Достоевский написал много интересных произведений: «Кроткая», «Мальчик у Христа на елке», «Неточка Незванова», «Подросток», «Дядюшкин сон», «Записки из мертвого дома», «Великий инквизитор», «Идиот», «Братья Карамазовы», «Вечный муж».
