The translators task is sometimes rendered difficult not so much by the actual work of turning into another language the.writings of the author, as by the necessity of choosing among the authors works those which ought to be presented to the readers of the other language. It is a great privilege, therefore, to base ones choice upon what the author himself considers his best work. My choice of stories was based upon the list contained in the following letter: rt My dear Mr. Pasvolsky: I feel flattered because you have asked me to make a selection of my works for translation, especially since we have no Kterary treaty either with America or with England. I consider the following of my works the most successful: An Evening Guest; The Lsestrygonians; AB racelet of Garnets; Demir-K aya; The Jewess; Emerald; The Horse-T hieves; The Park of Kings; An I nsult; Sulamith; AC oward, besides those which you mention in your letter. A. KUPRIN. I have chosen from this list those stories in which I consider Mr. Kuprin to be at his best. And he is atf his best in two types of stories.
