Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.These four fine stories carry on Pushkin's admirable series of works by the great Viennese writer, who committed suicide in exile in 1942. The title novella is an East Indian tale of a doctor's dilemma: a tropical erotic tragedy with the steamy mood of Maugham and the moral acuity of Conrad. "Leporella", about a dangerously devoted servant, packs a Rendell-style psychological chiller into 30 pages. The peerless Anthea Bell translates as stylishly as ever. BT
