About the series

“The Main Books of Russian Literature” is a joint series of the publishing house “Alpina.Poetry” and the internet project “Polka”. The works published in it are selected by contemporary writers, critics, literary scholars, and educators. This is both an attempt to define what the Russian literary canon looks like today and a new perspective on well-known works: each book is accompanied by a foreword from the authors of “Polka”.
