Short Fiction by Vladimir Korolenko (ready player one ebook TXT) ๐
Description
Vladimir Korolenko was a Ukrainian author and humanitarian. His short stories and novellas draw both on the myths and traditions of his birthplace, and his experiences of Siberia as a political exile due to his outspoken criticism of both the Tsars and the Bolsheviks. His first short story was published in 1879, and over the next decade he received many plaudits from critics and other authors, including Chekhov, though he also received some criticism for perceived uneven quality. He continued writing short stories for the rest of his career, but thought of himself more as a journalist and human rights advocate.
Korolenkoโs work focuses on the lives and experiences of poor and down-on-their-luck people; this collection includes stories about life on the road (โA Saghรกlinianโ and โBirds of Heavenโ), life in the forest (โMakarโs Dreamโ and โThe Murmuring Forestโ), religious experience (โThe Old Bell-Ringer,โ โThe Day of Atonementโ and โOn the Volvaโ) and many more. Collected here are all of the available public domain translations into English of Korolenkoโs short stories and novels, in chronological order of their translated publication. They were translated by Aline Delano, Sergius Stepniak, William Westall, Thomas Seltzer, Marian Fell, Clarence Manning and The Russian Review.
