BraceletAleksandr 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.
