Aleksandr Ivanovich Kuprin (1870-1938) was Russian novelist and short-story writer. He was an army officer for several years before he resigned to pursue a writing career, and was a friend of Maxim Gorky. He won fame with The Duel (1905), a novel of protest against the Russian military system. In 1909, Yama: The Pit, his novel dealing with prostitution in Odessa, created a sensation. Kuprin left Russia after the revolution but returned in 1937. Some of his best short stories of action and adventure appear in The Garnet Bracelet, originally published in 1917.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Kuprin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fredonia Books (NL)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.08w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781410106223\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fredonia Books (NL)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44441753419891,"sku":"9781410106223","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_cabdd211-2b14-414a-b8db-a7629927530c.jpg?v=1773146513","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/a-slav-soul-and-other-stories-9781410106223","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
