Dieser Band enthält neue Übersetzungen von vier der besten Erzählungen von Puschkin. "Die Pique-Dame" (1834) gilt seit langem als eine der größten Kurzgeschichten der Welt, in der Puschkin die Natur der Besessenheit erforscht. "Die Erzählungen von Belkin" (1831) sind witzige Parodien auf den Sentimentalismus, während "Der Mohr von Peter dem Großen" (1828) ein frühes Experiment zur Rekonstruktion der Vergangenheit darstellt. "Die Tochter des Kapitäns" (1836) ist ein meisterhaftes Werk in Romanlänge, das historische Fiktion im Stil von Sir Walter Scott mit den Elementen des russischen Märchens verbindet.
Stories in the Travelman Short Stories series take the reader to places of mystery, fantasy, horror, romance, and corners of the universe yet unexplored. In turn, readers take them on the bus or subway, slip them into briefcases and lunchboxes, and send them from Jersey to Juneau. Each classic or original short story is printed on one sheet of paper and folded like a map. This makes it simple to read while commuting, convenient to carry when not, and easy to give or send to a friend. A paper envelope is provided for mailing or gift-giving, and both are packaged in a clear plastic envelope for display. The cost is not much more than a greeting card.
