Great Russian Novels

This set brings together major Russian novels of war, crime, and revolution rather than a single author's work. The volumes include Tolstoy's account of Russian society during the Napoleonic invasion, Dostoevsky's study of a poor student who murders a pawnbroker in St Petersburg, and Pasternak's narrative of a doctor-poet living through the First World War and the Bolshevik years. Across the books, private lives are forced against armies, courts, and political change. The collection is a group of complete novels, not excerpts, offered as a survey of the long Russian novel from the nineteenth century into the Soviet period.

A reissue of the two-volume reprint of War and Peace and Crime and Punishment and Doctor Zhivago. Dark green four-volume slipcase printed with a sepia photo and title.
