The Duel (Russian: Поединок; Poedinok) is a novel by Russian author Aleksandr Kuprin published in 1905.[1] It is generally considered his best work;[2] even though Kuprin's 1896 short story Moloch first made his name known as a writer[3] it was The Duel (1905) which made him famous.[4] Because of it "Kuprin was highly praised by fellow writers including Anton Chekhov, Maxim Gorky, Leonid Andreyev, Nobel Prize-winning Ivan Bunin"[5] and Leo Tolstoy who acclaimed him a true successor to Chekhov.
