This is Book 3 in a series of Russian language textbooks that began with Russian Through Propaganda (Books 1 and 2). This volume shifts its attention from the Soviet era to the Imperial era, illustrating its discussions of intermediate grammar with paintings depicting Russian history and culture. Classical poems by the likes of Pushkin and Lermontov provide examples of the grammar, which includes such topics as advanced aspect, prefixed verbs of motion, and deverbal forms - all of which are essential for reading real Russian literature. The book culminates with a reading selection that includes Pushkin's "The Bronze Horseman," two short stories by Chekhov ("Death of a Clerk" and "A Little Joke"), and one by Tolstoy ("Alyosha the Pot") - all of them extensively glossed. This series, which is geared toward ambitious students who wish to learn Russian culture along with the language, will continue with Book 4.

This is Book 4 in a new series of Russian language textbooks that began with Russian Through Propaganda. This volume continues with in-depth coverage of intermediate to advanced grammar, with particular emphasis on word formation: how Russian takes simple roots and, with prefixes and suffixes, builds more nouns, verbs, and adjectives from them. By grouping verbs and other words into families, and learning specifically how Russian borrows foreign words, our knowledge of vocabulary and ability to analyze new vocabulary is greatly expanded, preparing us to tackle a major work of Russian literature: Crime and Punishment. Along with an introduction to Dostoevsky's life and thought, this book features a substantial abridged (but otherwise unedited and unsimplified!) and annotated version of the novel, focusing on the main plot line: the murder, and the quest for redemption. Like Book 3, this volume is full of outstanding Russian poems and paintings, and features exercises, an answer key, and user's dictionary.

This volume (Book 4) completes the series that began with "Russian Through Propaganda" (Books 1 and 2 in the series), and continued with the first volume of "Russian Through Poems and Paintings" (Book 3 in the series). This series was designed for serious students looking for exhaustive coverage of Russian grammar and immersion in Russian culture - with particular emphasis on learning to enjoy Russian literature in the original, inasmuch as Russian literature is, for many, the chief motivation for learning Russian in the first place. By the end of this volume (Book 4 in the series), students will have every tool at their disposal for enjoying the Russian classics. This book features daily poems by the likes of Pushkin, Lermontov, Tyutchev, and may others, together with extensive vocabulary notes. It concludes with longer reading selections: highlights from Ivan Goncharov's novel Oblomov, and a fascinating narrative poem by Nikolai Nekrasov entitled Red-Nosed Frost. Having covered most major grammar topics in the previous volumes (Books 1, 2, and 3), the present volume (Book 4) shifts its attention to Russian word formation, giving students an in-depth look at such topics as roots, prefixation, verb and adjective creation, foreign borrowings, noun suffixes, stress patterns, and more. In the process, we'll hone our ability to analyze a variety of Russian words - both to make sense of new words we encounter, and to consider the literal meaning of Russian words, not just their standard English translation. We'll group words into families - looking first at "verb families" (prefixed forms of a given base aspectual pair), and later at broader word families built from a common root (nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.). We'll also look in depth at the suffixes Russian uses to adopt foreign vocabulary, thus greatly enhancing our ability to make sense of the countless borrowed words encountered in contemporary Russian. As in Book 3, examples of the grammar at hand are provided by Russian poems and paintings. Books 3 and 4 both focus on the Imperial era; but, in terms of poetry selections, whereas Book 3 focused heavily on "Golden Age" poets like Pushkin and Lermontov, Book 4 now pushes forward into the Silver Age and even the Soviet era, with more selections from poets like Mayakovsky, Tsvetaeva, Mandelshtam, Pasternak, and others. By the end of Book 4, students will have been exposed to most of the major names in Russian poetry, and to some of their most well-known poems. Remaining grammar topics include verbs of position, a review of imperfective derivation, and a survey of noun and number declension that includes more unusual forms we have yet to encounter. Declension of numbers is covered in full, along with special noun types. Some of these forms - the declined numbers in particular - may not be encountered on a daily basis, but it is very important to be aware of them, and, for students intent on mastering Russian, to learn them. With these units, the series completes its near-exhaustive coverage of both verb conjugation and noun and adjective declension. The book concludes with a chapter presenting useful vocabulary for talking about life (birth, death, and everything in between - love and marriage, friendship, travel, activities, culture, and more), and, finally, a chapter featuring two outstanding pieces of Russian literature: highlights from Goncharov's novel Oblomov (from a chapter known as "Oblomov's Dream"), and the entirety of Nikolai Nekrasov's long narrative poem "Red-Nosed Frost," which depicts the difficult life of a young peasant woman after her husband's death, with a stunning ending - magical, beautiful, yet deeply disturbing - that is not to be missed! About the author: Mark Pettus is a lecturer in Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton University, where he teaches Russian, Czech, Polish, Church Slavonic, and more.

This volume (Book 2) of Russian Through Propaganda is the continuation of Book 1, offering a second semester's worth of intensive Russian language learning. It presents all plural forms of noun and adjective case endings, introduces basic verbs of conveyance and basic prefixed forms, deals extensively with numbers and time expressions, and introduces comparative forms. It concludes with two special chapters dedicated to practical everyday conversation (for those heading to Russia), and an introduction to unadapted Soviet-era poetry and prose. Like Book 1, it is richly illustrated with Soviet propaganda posters whose slogans highlight each lesson's grammar. It is supplemented with a learner's Russian-English dictionary, an answer key, and useful grammar tables for reference. This new series of Russian language textbooks will continue with Books 3 and 4, entitled "Russian Through Poems and Paintings."

This new series of Russian textbooks provides a rigorous but rewarding approach to the language. It assumes no prior knowledge of Russian, and is intended for ambitious beginners, or more advanced students seeking a highly structured review of the language.

Nine of Chekhov's most powerful and thought-provoking short stories are included here, in the original Russian and in a facing English translation, together with all the vocabulary notes and reference tables you need to make sense of Chekhov's original texts. Designed to help students of Russian begin to enjoy real Russian literature in the original without constantly reaching for a dictionary, this parallel-text edition features a new translation made specifically for this purpose, as well as detailed Russian vocabulary notes, including all the important forms you need (especially aspectual pairs and conjugation types for all verbs).

The short stories included in this volume are: "The Death of a Clerk" (how is a bureaucrat killed by a sneeze?), "The Student" (a moving vignette about both timeless meaning and transient youthful idealism), "A Little Joke" (an innocent joke takes on unimagined proportions - if our narrator is to be believed, that is), "Sleepy" (a servant girl, deprived of sleep, is pushed to the brink of madness), "Rothschild's Fiddle" (a deeply moving tale of intolerance, memory, and reconciliation through music), "Anna Round the Neck" (a young woman is forced to marry an older man for his money - but will she turn the tables?), "Gusyev" (a peasant soldier and an intellectual, representing starkly different perspectives on life, await death in a steamship sickbay), "The Lady with the Little Dog" (a couple finds love, and all of the anguish that sustaining it often entails), and "Ward No. 6." (a harrowing story of a provincial doctor and his patients; this unforgettable work is surely one of the most powerful treatments of madness and medical ethics - indeed, ethics is general - in all of world literature.
