Récits de feu Ivan Pétrovitch Bielkine

Alexandre Pouchkine

Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Byelkin is a collection of five short stories by Alexander Pushkin, first published in 1831. Framed as manuscripts left by the fictional Ivan Petrovich Byelkin, the tales combine romance, irony, chance, social satire, and sharply observed portraits of Russian life.
