The Ring of Nine
The Soviets. Allies during the war, enemies shortly after. One of them talks about one of the most harrowing chapters of human history in general and World War Two in particular - the Siege of Leningrad. The Ring of Nine is a first-person account of the Leningrad Blockade during World War II, translated by Maria K. This work started off as a series of journals written by Maria's late grandfather, Vasily Petrovich Kuznetsov, as he experienced these events.

The Blessed South lies somewhere between a travel diary and a poetic sketchbook. With his usual skill, Alexander Kuprin lends the air of romance even to the most mundane scenes and situations, inviting the reader to be captivated and enjoy.
The Black Monk
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is considered a very "real life" writer, his feet solidly on the ground at all times. The Black Monk is his foray into madness and mysticism to rival the likes of Dostoyevsky, Saltykov-Shchedrin, and Kuprin.
Grownup Matters
Much like his stories for children, Vsevolod Garshin's grownup prose may not always be easy to read due to difficult subject matter he tends to pick for his narratives. It is, however, always beautifully written and fascinating.
