For all that, the letter caused her to feel exceedingly uneasy. For the first time in her life she was entering into secret and confidential relations with a young man. His boldness alarmed her. She reproached herself for her imprudent behavior, and knew not what to do.

This review is from: The Queen of Spades (Pique Dame) (mobi) (Kindle Edition)
The amazon blurb says this book in in Russian with accented text. Perhaps the paper text is, but the kindle one is in what I think is Ukrainian and is not accented.

This review is from: The Queen of Spades (Paperback)
Pushkin's work is great. This edition is terrible. It is not the full story (short as the original story is) -- it is an adaptation, a shortened version, and most of the nuances are gone.
