Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! "The Queen of Spade" by Alexander Pushkin is extolled as one of Russia's greatest short stories of all time. It was a no brainer to throw it into our January quest to find the greatest short story of all time. With themes of fate, chance, and greed, let's talk about what makes this such an engaging text.
