Bronka. An annotated Russian reader is intended for Low Intermediate and Intermediate-level students of Russian (B1-B2). "Bronka" is a powerful coming-of-age story about a schoolgirl growing up in a communal apartment in Moscow in the years following World War II, and how she copes with her cramped living quarters, boorish neighbors, and the surrounding dismal realities of 1940s urban life in Moscow. Drawing on her inner strength, Bronka manages to escape the oppressive circumstances of her teenage years, and ultimately finds love and fulfillment. But her unusual path to happiness remains the central mystery of this extraordinary tale. "Bronka" is an excellent literary text for students of Russian language, literature, and culture. The reader provides ample support for the learner, including marginal glosses, historical-cultural, and grammatical commentaries, as well as a range of exercises on word-formation, vocabulary building, and participles.

Sonechka is a psychological melodrama about a plain, bookish woman who marries an ex-convict at the age of thirty, has a daughter, then loses both her husband and daughter and returns to solitude among her books. Already translated into several European languages, it was shortlisted for the Booker Russian Novel Prize and received the prestigious Medici Prize for foreign fiction in France and the Penne Prize in Italy. A French critic remarked, “There has never been a heroine in literature who was less heroic and yet psychologically striking.”

Rudolf Maier, a young microbiologist working on a plague vaccine, is summoned to Moscow to deliver a progress report to his superiors. Inadvertently, he carries the virus with him from the lab. When his illness is discovered, the state machinery turns with terrifying efficiency, rounding up dozens of people. But for many, the distinction between this enforced, life-sparing isolation and the constant churn of political surveillance and arrests is barely detectable, and personal tragedy is not completely averted. Based on real events in the Stalinist Russia of the 1930s, this gripping novel, written in the late 1970s and rediscovered by the author during lockdown - and never before translated into English - surfaces uncomfortable truths about the current Russian regime and the pandemic crisis. Includes a new preface by the author.
