Ever since Pushkin, Russian poets have been famous for their ability to combine private and public experience in lyric poetry of a comprehensiveness and intensity unmatched elsewhere. This collection includes work by Lermontov, Annensky, Mayakovsky, Mandelstam, Pasternak and more
In The White Guard, Bulgakov's brilliant and evocative prose, translated by Michael Glenny and introduced by Orlando Figes, brings unforgettably to life the chaotic city of Kyiv in 1918 and sheds fascinating light on the complex, interwoven histories of Ukraine and Russia.
Russian Stories rounds up short stories by the Russian literary greats, including Lermontov, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Chekhov, Bulgakov and Nabokov, up to contemporary writers such as Tatyana Tolstaya and Nobel Prize winner, Svetlana Alexievich
Leo Tolstoy was born in Russia on 9 September 1828. While War and Peace and Anna Karenina became his most enduring masterpieces, Resurrection, his last novel, is a dark story in which the whole of Imperial Russian society is tried and found wanting.
The archetypal Romantic, killed in a duel at the age of 37, Alexander Pushkin was effectively the founder of modern Russian literature. This volume includes his short fiction, as well as unfinished fragments, introduced by John Bayley, and translated by Pevear and Volokhonsky.
In 1899 the Department for the Production of State Documents asked stage-designer Ivan Bilibin to illustrate a series of fairy tales. This, with ten other traditional tales, make up our Russian Fairy Tales collection, for which Bilibin's artwork has been faithfully reproduced.
Alongside Ivan Turgenev, we're proud to publish many renowned Russian writers of prose, plays and poetry, many of whom challenged the cultural and political establishment of their times. To begin, why not try the poetry of Anna Akhmatova, translated here by D M Thomas?
This month, we published a new, collected edition of Nest of the Gentry and Virgin Soil by Ivan Turgenev. Turgenev was a supreme artist; in these novels, his profound humanity, his love for nature and for the Russian countryside, shine through the elegance of his prose.
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge

Today we publish Dangerous Liaisons by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, translated by Richard Aldington. With devotees as varied as Marie Antoinette and Virginia Woolf, it is a unique combination of sentiment and brutality, psychological insight and erotic tenderness.
A haunting tale of lost causes and lost love, The Remains of the Day contains Kazuo Ishiguro's now celebrated evocation of life between the wars in a Great English House. Within its walls can be heard ever more distinct echoes of the violent upheavals spreading across Europe.
Lady Chatterley's Lover shocked its original audience with its portrayal of adulterous love across the class divide as well as its explicit descriptions of sex. It remains a hymn to erotic love and an treatise on sex as salvation from the sterility of modern life.
When poverty drives Tess Durbeyfield to claim kinship with the wealthy D'Urbervilles, her 'cousin' Alec becomes her downfall. Another man, Angel Clare, seems to offer salvation, but Tess must choose whether to reveal her past or remain silent in the hope of a peaceful future.
‘Be with me always – drive me mad! only do not leave me!’ Wuthering Heights, a novel of desire, violence and transgression, is a masterpiece of unsettling power, chronicling the passion, betrayal and bitter vengeance between the foundling Heathcliff and heiress Catherine Earnshaw
By the end of a summer day in 1934, the lives of Briony Tallis, her sister Cecilia and Robbie, Cecila's childhood friend, will be changed forever. Robbie and Cecilia will cross a boundary and Briony will commit a crime for which she will spend the rest of her life trying to atone
As Valentine’s Day approaches, we wanted to dedicate this month to stories of love, yearning, longing heartbreak. To begin, we suggest two perfectly romantic Pocket Poets: Love Speaks Its Name and Love Letters, both ideal gifts for a loved one. Visit the link in our bio for more
Is 2026 the year you read more modern classics by women? Why not try this collected edition of The Bookshop, The Gate of Angels and The Blue Flower by Penelope Fitzgerald. These novels all display her characteristic wit, intellectual breadth and narrative brilliance.
