Customer Reviews

Excellent reader with lots of variety!

I was very impressed with this book! It has a great variety of various Russian-language authors, in many genres and styles. Not only does it present authentic Russian literature to the intermediate student, it also includes a study guide section with questions for discussion. Each selection has footnotes with unusual glosses (such as archaic words), but they don't bog you down. Plus, there's a great Russian glossary at the back to help the reader. The only thing that could improve this book would be if the selections were in order of difficulty (instead they're in chronological order) -- it would be nice to start out slow & gradually get more difficult. However, it's still very worthwhile. Highly recommended!!
