The young Hermann, while watching some friends gambling, hears a rumour of how an officer’s grandmother is always able to predict the three winning cards in a game. He becomes obsessed with the woman and her seemingly mystical powers, and seeks to extract the secret from her at any cost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume, part of a new series of the complete works of Pushkin in English, also includes ‘Dubrovsky’, the story of a man’s desire to avenge himself after his land is unjustly taken from him by an aristocrat; ‘The Negro of Peter the Great’, a tale inspired by Pushkin’s maternal grandfather; and the unfinished story ‘Egyptian Nights’, a meditation on poetry and the poet. Together, they represent some of the most striking and enduring pieces of Pushkin’s prose fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57556759052670,"sku":"NW9781847494788","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781847494788.jpg?v=1783275270","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/queen-of-spades-and-other-stories","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
