Rudin, Turgenev's first novel, is a subtle examination of human weakness which foreshadows many of the themes in the author's later work, with its lead character personifying the type of the "superfluous man" which came to dominate much of the literature of nineteenth-century Russia.

This lesser-known novella by one of the great masters of Russian literature and the author of Fathers and Children, now available to English readers in Hugh Aplin's lucid translation, is presented here with 'Yakov Pasynkov', another story exploring the nature of love and human relations.

This volume contains even plays, written between 1906 and 1926, which demonstrate the basic forms, tenets and preoccupations of German Expressionist drama, which has been described as the forerunner of Absurdist theatre and is characterized by both visual and verbal violence. These plays, taken together, offer an excellent introduction to the entire movement. Kokoschka''s ''Murderer; Hope of Womankind'', for example, has that strong ritualistic quality which characterizes so many other Expressionist writings, and Stramm''s terrifying ''Awakening'' recalls the threatening absurdities of Ionesco''s theatre. These plays, with their visionary elements and their timeless quality, speak as clearly to audiences today as they did at the time of their creation.

This edition contains over twenty illustrations, a thematic guide and the texts of the libretti in the original with literal translations. There is also a bibliography, discography and DVD guide, together with a list of websites that will allow the reader to explore the opera further.
