Summary: 4 Stars
The Dover Thrift Editions are great affordable collections of some of the world's literary masterpieces. Here we are treated to 12 Russian short stories by some renowned Russian masters and less familiar authors. The stories featured are:
"The Queen of Spades" - Alexander Pushkin
"The Overcoat" - Nikolai Gogol
"The District Doctor" - Ivan S Turgenev
"White Nights" - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
"How Much Land Does a Man Need?" - Leo Tolstoy
"The Clothesmender" - Nicholay Leskov
"The Signal" - Vsevolod M Garshin
"The Lady with the Toy Dog" - Anton Chekhov
"The White Mother" - Theodor Sologub
"Twenty-Six Men and a Girl" - Maxim Gorky
"The Outrage - A True Story" - Alexander Kuprin

This is a nice volume for not only students of Russian literature, but also anyone interested in the genre. The only major flaw in this collection is that the names of the translators are not included.
