This collection includes two works by Alexander Pushkin: the novella “The Queen of Spades” and the unfinished novel “Dubrovsky.” “The Queen of Spades” tells the story of Hermann, a young officer obsessed with the idea of getting rich using the card secret held by an old countess. “Dubrovsky” recounts the story of a nobleman who becomes an outlaw after his father is dispossessed of his estate. Both works are classics of Russian literature, exploring themes of passion, greed, social injustice, and vengeance.
