Description

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is one of the greatest writers and playwrights not only of Russian but of world literature, the subtlest of psychologists, an ironic humorist, the unsurpassed singer of the enigmatic Russian soul in the whole of its emotional range, in which there is but a single step from the comic to the dramatic. The collection includes Chekhov's most famous novellas and stories - works by turns amusing and tragic, at times transparently poetic, at times sardonic and biting. Poignant, subtle stories of "love that never came to be" - "The Lady with the Dog," "The House with the Mezzanine," "Ionych." "Male and female portraits," merciless in their psychological candor - "The Darling," "Anna on the Neck," "The Grasshopper," "Gooseberries"... The sadly tender "Vanka" and "Kashtanka," familiar since childhood, the frankly, uproariously funny "The Boys," "A Horse's Name," "Surgery" - and much, much more!
