About this book
The contents list The Captain’s Daughter, Doubrovsky and The Queen of Spades, together with tales bearing titles such as The Shot, The Snowstorm and The Post Master. The opening of The Captain’s Daughter introduces a father who leaves military service and settles on an estate in the district of Simbirsk, where he marries. A narrator describes seeing a black-bearded peasant in a sickbed instead of his father and waking after terror and doubt take possession of him.
Troekouroff demands a description from the sheriff while beginning to entertain doubts, and a reply reports that the tutor cannot be found. Masha tells her father that she has a headache, kisses his hand and retires to her room, where she falls on her bed in tears.
