Ivan Petrovich Belkin left behind a great number of manuscripts.... Most of them, as Ivan Petrovich told me, were true stories heard from various people.First published anonymously in 1830, Alexander Pushkin’s Tales of Belkin contains his first prose works. It is comprised of an introductory note and five linked stories, ostensibly collected by the scholar Ivan Belkin. The stories center variously around military figures, the wealthy, and businessmen; this beautiful novella gives a vivid portrait of nineteenth century Russian life.It has become, as well, one of the most beloved books in Russian literary history, and symbolic of the popularity of the novella form in Russia. In fact, it has become the namesake for Russia’s most prestigious annual literary prize, the Belkin Prize, given each year to a book voted by judges to be the best novella of the year.It is presented here in a sparkling new translation by Josh Billings. Tales of Belkin also highlights the nature of our ongoing Art of the Novella Series—that is, that it specializes in important although albeit lesser-known works by major writers, often in new tranlsations.The Art of The Novella SeriesToo short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time.

The classic novel, international sensation, and inspiration for the film starring Anthony Quinn explores the struggle between the aesthetic and the rational, the inner life and the life of the mind.The classic novel Zorba the Greek is the story of two men, their incredible friendship, and the importance of living life to the fullest. Zorba, a Greek working man, is a larger-than-life character, energetic and unpredictable. He accompanies the unnamed narrator to Crete to work in the narrator’s lignite mine, and the pair develops a singular relationship. The two men couldn’t be further apart: The narrator is cerebral, modest, and reserved; Zorba is unfettered, spirited, and beyond the reins of civility. Over the course of their journey, he becomes the narrator’s greatest friend and inspiration and helps him to appreciate the joy of living.Zorba has been acclaimed as one of the most remarkable figures in literature; he is a character in the great tradition of Sinbad the Sailor, Falstaff, and Sancho Panza. He responds to all that life offers him with passion, whether he’s supervising laborers at a mine, confronting mad monks in a mountain monastery, embellishing the tales of his past adventures, or making love. Zorba the Greek explores the beauty and pain of existence, inviting readers to reevaluate the most important aspects of their lives and live to the fullest.

Scrittura piatta come una tavola da surf. Dialoghi che sembrano appena usciti da un filmetto di quart'ordine. Poi, una volta conosciuti la storia e i personaggi, inevitabile che subentri la curiosità di sapere come va a finire. Come soap, o più in generale come lettura di intrattenimento puro, c'è di peggio ma c'è anche di meglio. Però acquista un tantino in più di valore se la si guarda non come storia melensa ma come allegoria: le due protagoniste, zia e nipote, che sono l'una alter ego dell'altra - donne caparbie ma impossibilitate a cavarsela del tutto da sole e a tagliare qualsiasi ponte con il passato, con le tradizioni, con la famiglia, ecc. - sono a loro volta alter ego della nazione iraniana. Visto in quest'ottica, il romanzo potrebbe anche insegnare qualcosa a chi avesse già una base, a chi si fosse già costruito una certa conoscenza dell'impero persiano e della sua (relativamente) recente fine. Anni '20, i vicoletti e le piazze di Teheran, la fontana all'angolo, le bottegucce, l'hammam, e poi gli interni delle case dei nobili, tanto ricchi e lussuosi quanto lussureggianti i giardini con le fontane e fiori di ogni sorta e profumo. Una primavera che volge rapidamente in estate, a simboleggiare il maturare degli eventi che incombono. "Una volta rientrata a casa non ebbi il coraggio di guardare nessuno. C'era un putiferio per via del neonato, ma anche fuori l'intero paese s'era gettato in braccio a Reza Khan. E io? Io spasimavo per il garzone del falegname. L'Iran ce la fece prima di me a superare il turbamento del cambio di regime, e anche più facilmente. Il mondo era sottosopra." Qui non bisogna aspettarsi approfondimenti specifici di storia o politica iraniana, gli unici accenni sono semplicemente del genere della citazione di cui sopra. Pur essendo la storia alquanto romanticona, bisogna riconoscerle il merito di non puntare al finale lieto a tutti i costi, e a non mirare all'insegnamento del "va' dove ti porta il cuore", anzi di mirare all'esatto contrario. E in questo senso, se si accosta la citazione in quarta di copertina (L'amore è come il vino, devi lasciarlo giacere anni e anni affinché sedimenti e riveli il suo sapore, perché diventi inebriante. Altrimenti brucia come la febbre e ci si ubriaca subito) con il titolo originale dell'opera (che dovrebbe suonare qualcosa come "Il dopo sbornia" o "il giorno dopo la sbornia" o forse un più immediato hangover) il tutto assume un tono vagamente ironico, un'autoironia inusuale per un romanzo di questo genere. L'allegoria mi sembra abbastanza facile da capire - così come la ragazza non avrebbe dovuto buttarsi tra le braccia di uno zotico senza prima riflettere, allo stesso modo l'Iran non avrebbe dovuto buttarsi tra le braccia della rivoluzione...? -e tuttavia non è immediata da percepire, non la si sente sulla pelle, non sbuca con forza tra una riga e l'altra. Più immediato, per tematiche e costruzione della trama, è invece l'accostamento con Mille splendidi soli di Hosseini. Altro elemento da tenere presente è la contestualizzazione: il romanzo è stato scritto oltre vent'anni fa. Forse in quel momento era rivoluzionario già solo per il fatto di mettere in primo piano gli interni familiari, la condizione femminile, i primi dilemmi chador-si o chador-no, aborto si o no, e tutte quelle considerazioni che oggi per noi iniziano a sembrare anche un po' trite ma vent'anni fa non lo erano ancora. In ogni caso, la valutazione in data astrale 2018 è di tre stelle stiracchiate, anzi no, due e mezza per via del finale: mi sta bene il finale aperto, ma è mancata un'ultima considerazione da parte dell'autrice, un qualche approfondimento del suo pensiero. Sulla base degli articoli che avevo letto, del successo che il libro ha avuto in patria e delle numerose traduzioni in tutto il mondo, mi aspettavo di meglio.

A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Set against the looming horrors of the battlefield - the weary, demoralized men marching in the rain during the German attack on Caporetto; the profound struggle between loyalty and desertion—this gripping, semiautobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep. Ernest Hemingway famously said that he rewrote his ending to A Farewell to Arms thirty-nine times to get the words right.

The story takes place in Victorian London, where two very rich, eccentric brothers give the penniless story protagonist, Henry Adams, one million pounds of money in the form of a single peerless bank note. Henry would not be easily able to exchange that note in the bank without being questioned about how he had come to it, charged with theft and arrested. He would also not be able to spend it since no ordinary person would be able to change it.Without knowing it, Henry is the subject of a bet: Oliver believes that the mere possession of this symbol of wealth will enable anyone to have anything he wants, without actually cashing the note. Roderick, on the other hand, feels that the prohibition against exchanging the note for cash will render it totally useless.

You can’t stop the future. You can’t rewind the past.The only way to learn the secret . . . is to press play.Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a strange package with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker–his classmate and crush–who committed suicide two weeks earlier. Hannah’s voice tells him that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he’ll find out why. Clay spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah as his guide. He becomes a firsthand witness to Hannah’s pain, and as he follows Hannah’s recorded words throughout his town, what he discovers changes his life forever.

These literary masterpieces are made easy and interesting. This series features classic tales retold with color illustrations to introduce literature to struggling readers. Each 64-page hardcover book retains key phrases and quotations from the original classics. In this humorous satire, which makes fun of English politicians in the early 1700s, you'll travel to many strange make-believe worlds. Join Gulliver as he sails from the land of the tiny six-inch people called Lilliputians and the land of the giant people called Brobdingnagians, to the land of the Houyhnhnms- where wise and understanding horses tame herds of wild Yahoos, creatures that are strangely human!

Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Based on his own experience and the stories of his patients, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. At the heart of his theory, known as logotherapy, is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what we find meaningful. Man's Search for Meaning has become one of the most influential books in America; it continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living.

Dostoyevsky said he wrote the Village of Stepanchikovo (1859) for the sheer pleasure of prolonging the adventures of my new hero and enjoying a good laugh at him. This hero is not unlike myself...Dostoyevsky's narrator has been summoned to his uncle Colonel Rostanev's remote country estate in the hope that he will act as decoy and rescue Rostanev's former ward, Nastenka Yezhevikin, from the tyranny of Opiskin, a despot and charlatan who has the whole household under his thumb. Forty-eight hours of explosive comic drama unfold, culminating in a violent confrontation between Opiskin and the ineffectual Rostanev.Dostoyevsky conveys a delight in life's absurdities to rival that of Gogol, yet at the same time in Opiskin, a comic monster of Russian literature, he creates an unflattering portrait of his mentor. Here we recognize the genesis of the characters and the revelatory dramatic scenes of  and The Karamazov Brothers.The cover shows a detail from Spring by Konstantin Fedorovich Yuon reproduced by courtesy of the David King Collection.

Three Years is Anton Chekhov's heartfelt attempt to create a "novel of Moscow life." In it, he paints a poignant portrait of the struggles and frustrations that go hand in hand with human relationships. Away from his native Moscow to care for his ailing sister, Laptev falls instantly in love with Yulia Sergeyevna, the daughter of the local doctor. She in turn feels nothing for him, but convinces herself it would be doing him a gross disservice to refuse his proposal. So begins the unequal marriage between the two, a marriage that will bring a bitter and desperate sorrow to them both. Yet as the years go by, and as they face and overcome tragedy together, they learn to value each other in new ways, and so restore their faith in the redemptive power of time. Most famous for The Cherry Orchard, Uncle Vanya, The Seagull, and Three Sisters, Anton Chekhov is one of Russia’s most highly regarded dramatists and short story writers.
