Seltzer discusses the evolution of Russian storytelling, highlighting its significant departure from Western romanticism towards a style that emphasizes realism and empathy for the lower classes. This section sets the stage for the subsequent stories, beginning with Pushkin's "The Queen of Spades," which involves a card player obsessed with uncovering a mysterious secret tied to an elderly countess.
