Description

An anthology of the very best Russian short stories, from the 19th century to today, selected by Sergei Lebedev, author of Untraceable.

In A Hundred Voices, celebrated novelist Sergei Lebedev draws together one hundred of the finest Russian-speaking writers from across the centuries. From Alexander Pushkin and Nikolai Gogol, Leo Tolstoy and Vladimir Nabokov, to Nadezhda Mandelstam and Olga Slavnikova, Natalya Meshchaninov and Alla Gorbunova, the new, fresh voices of Russia today rub shoulders with the greats of the past.

Together these hundred writers, their hundred voices, sing out together to create a glorious chorus of three centuries of Russian short stories.

Reviews for Sergei Lebedev:
'One of Russia's most interesting young novelists' Anne Applebaum
'Lebedev is arguably the best of Russia's younger generation of writers' New York Review of Books
'One of modern Russia's finest writers' Philippe Sands
