This article presents information on the books "The Confession," written by Maxim Gorky, "The River of Life, and Other Stories," and "The Duel," written by Alexander Kuprin. The hero of "The Duel," the novel which gave this writer a Russian hearing, may, to be sure, be dismissed as another hero of the novel "Hamlet," but he is not of the commonly alleged Russian or water-hen type. The English of this version is less free from traces of alien idiom than that of the four tales by Kuprin. These stories, which we take to be of later workmanship than "The Duel," show the same qualities of observation, insight, and same though unsparing humor.
