«Quatre contes russos» is the anthology of short stories by Alexandr Puixkin, Anton Txèkhov, Isaak Bàbel and Nina Berberova (Diputació de Barcelona, hardcover).
The anthology brings together four outstanding tales from nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russian narrative: «Un tret» by Alexandr Puixkin, «Els nois» by Anton Txèkhov, «El petó» by Isaak Bàbel and «La petite étrangère» by Nina Berberova. The authors see literature as a commitment to society, even in the face of power, and that is why their readers find ethical and philosophical answers in it.

For readers of classic Russian narrative and short stories translated into Catalan.

He is best known as the author of Red Cavalry and Odessa Stories, and has been acclaimed as "the greatest prose writer of Russian Jewry".
