Does anyone know if there's a place online that sells Russian books with accents? I have a dual language book of Russian stories that is accented, but that's not really what I'm wanting here; I'm interested in Russian-only books, but with stress accents. History is my preferred subject, but I'm interested in any source at all.
Additionally, if such things exist, is there a particular way one searches for them? I'm usually fairly good at making Google find what I want, but I've had zero success with this. (And yes, I realize I'm asking for something that isn't overly common, as native printed Russian never has accents.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Quite honestly, I don't think you'll be able to find any authentic books with printed accents. AFAIK, the only books that have accents are textbooks for studying Russian and other learning materials.

Thanks for the information, ember. I was afraid that would be the case.

there are many many books published with accents. Some are classics published by western publishers for learners. Some are (or were) published in the Soviet Union to help learners. Clearly they will always be for learners. But it's possible to find even books on history etc. meant for foreigners.

The books published by "Bradda" are excellent (I just read The Death of Ivan Ilyich), have accent marks and
vocabularies at the end. They are fairly easy to find-- I highly recommend. Hope that helps. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

The one and only Russian history book I own (which I found in a specialized Slavic section of a bookstore in my own town two or three years ago) is written by С.Н. Сыров and its full title is "Цтранитсы историй - книга для чтения на русском языке" (1987). The editor is/was "Русский Язык" in Moscow. I have no idea whether it still can be found anywhere.

Ryan: Thanks for the heads up on the Bradda publisher. While I've not delved very deep into the search yet, I've found a few books published by them with accents.
Iversen: Thanks for the full title and author. While I've not purchased it yet, I was able to track it down on a Russian web shop. The book is a mere $8, but shipping to me is nearly $25. I suppose that's understandable, though, as it appears the place ships out of Moscow. 1 person has voted this message useful |
