Marine Stories. Tales of Russian Writers

Sailors and captains, sharks and storms, resort delusions and sea dreams…
The heroes of these stories challenge the elements, rescue the drowning, seek love, lose themselves and find meaning — on the decks, beneath the keel, among seagulls, cliffs, and salty winds.
The collection includes works by Tolstoy, Korolenko, Stanyukovich, Serafimovich, Kuprin, Bunin, Zhitikov, Paustovsky, Aitmatov, and other masters of Russian prose, who reveal to readers the world of the sea — harsh, enchanting, endlessly alive.
