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\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1410106225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781410106223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fredonia Books (NL)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\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","brand":"Alexander Kuprin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896652914943,"sku":"9781410106223","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca5d40ae-653f-4f5e-9157-e8cbc8c735a0.jpg?v=1721371972","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-slav-soul-and-other-alexander-kuprin-9781410106223","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
