One of the most celebrated short stories by a foundational figure in Russian literature, now in a Little Clothbound Classic designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith

A Penguin Hardcover Classic

A countess with a card trick; love letters filled with deception; a desperate man with a pistol."The Queen of Spades," one of Pushkin's most popular and chilling stories, is accompanied here by the thrilling "Dubrovsky" and unforgettable "Tales of Belkin."
Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837) was a poet, playwright, and novelist who achieved literary prominence before he was twenty. His radical politics led to government censorship and periods of banishment from the capital, but he eventually married a popular society beauty and be­came a regular part of court life. Notoriously touchy about his honor, he died at age thirty-seven in a duel with his wife’s alleged lover. View titles by Alexander Pushkin
