"The Best Short Stories of 1921 and the Yearbook of the American Short Story"

The editor has broadened her scheme in order to
include Polish authors. Among the less familiar figures who are here
introduced, I may mention Lesskof, Mamin-Sibiriak, and Slutchefsky. I
can cordially recommend this admirable series.
THE TWO FRIENDS AND OTHER STORIES, by _Ivan Turgenev_;
translated from the Russian by _Constance Garnett_ (The Macmillan
Company). Mrs. Garnett, to whom we are ever grateful, has surprised us
delightfully by offering us some hitherto untranslated novelettes by
Turgenev which seem to me to rank among his masterpieces. In each of
them he has compressed a whole life cycle into a brief series of
significant incidents and made them the microcosm of a larger human
world. This is one of the most important volumes of the year.
