Love though has many faces and it can evoke both positive and negative emotions - hence the title of our anthology which contains a selection of outstanding Russian love stories from the end of the nineteenth century up to the present day. It includes works by classical Russian writers such as Ivan Turgenev, Anton Chekhov, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Alexander Kuprin, among others, as well as by the following Soviet authors: Nikolai Gribachev, Yuri Kazakov, Fazil Iskander and author, film-director and actor, Vasily Shukshin, whose premature death was a bitter blow to Soviet multinational literature.
