This collection features Pushkin's historical masterpiece "Boris Godunov" alongside his "Little Tragedies"—short plays exploring human passions like greed and envy. A cornerstone of Russian drama, it blends Shakespearean scope with deep psychology.

The iconic play captures the decline of the Russian aristocracy at the turn of the 20th century. Madame Ranevskaya returns to her heavily indebted estate, only to watch her beloved cherry orchard sold at auction to the practical merchant Lopakhin.
