The Essential Russian Classics e-book collection includes nearly 6,400 titles by 300+ famous Russian authors, thinkers and philosophers of the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries who made notable contributions to the development of Russian literature, philosophy and culture.
The collection comprises the works of world-renowned Russian playwrights, poets, essayists and historians, such as Chekhov, Pushkin, Lermontov, Mayakovsky, Bunin, and Karamzin, as well as the less well-known in the West, but still prominent cultural icons of Russia, such as Averchenko, Belyi, Briusov, Fet, Giliarovsky, Gumilev, Leskov, Rozanov, Teffi, and dozens of others.
The collection is divided into four main genres:
- Classic Russian Fiction
- Classic Russian Non-Fiction
- Classic Russian Poetry
- Classic Russian Drama
Non-fiction is represented mostly in such genres as philosophy, history, biography, memoirs and travel journals.
The resource can be accessed through Infoteka’s e-book platform, allowing for filtering by genre and author, sorting by title, searching in Cyrillic and transliteration. The book format is “smart” PDF. Each title has been assigned a unique e-ISBN number. A free set of ePub files for each title is included with the purchase of the entire collection. All texts have been thoroughly proofread. In some instances, the old spelling was replaced with new. Some publications have been digitized for the first time and are not available in electronic formats elsewhere.
