The Queen of Spades is Pushkin's prose masterpiece, a gripping tale of avarice, obsession, madness and cards.

This wonderful collection also includes the keenly and sympathetically observed story The Stationmaster; the narrative poem The Bronze Horseman; a selection of Pushkin's lyric poems; the ribald saga of Tsar Nikita and his Forty Daughters; and excerpts from Yevgeny Onegin and Mozart and Salieri.

It serves as an ideal introduction to the incomparable Pushkin, the headspring of all Russian literature. Contains: Short Stories: The Queen of Spades; The Stationmaster Drama: Extracts from Boris Godunov and Mozart and Salieri The Bronze Horseman (narrative poem), Tsar Nikita and His Forty Daughters (folk poem) and 14 lyric poems. Novel in Verse: Extract from Yevgeny Onegin (novel in verse)
