The Portable Twentieth-Century Russian Reader

A quality collection of stories (in whole and in part) from the great Russian writers of the twentieth century. Brown's commentary is incredibly helpful, aiding both to the reader's understanding of the time the works were written as well as to the general enjoyment of the works themselves.

I'd recommend this to anyone with an interest in Russian literature or great literature in general - especially those with a fascination for the Kafkaesque.
