Russian writer Anton Chekhov, full name Anton
Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) is one of the greatest
short story writers of world literature. Influenced
by the venerated Russian masters, Nikolai Gogol and
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Chekhov wrote hundreds of stories
and novellas, tracing the trajectory of ordinary lives,
capturing the vastness and backwardness of remote
Russian provinces, shining the spotlight on bureaucratic
apathy and corruption and the Russian obsession with
rank, poignantly evoking a specific time and place
through meticulous observation and telling detail. In
Chekhov's stories, an overt plot often hints at hidden
stories, giving readers plenty of room to make use of
their imagination. Chekhov displays deeply felt empathy
and compassion for those who suffer misfortunes while
managing to find human traits in the ones he dislikes.
His canvas is wide - encompassing everything from
happiness and intense suffering to slapstick humour.
This collection includes some of Anton Chekhov's finest
stories including 'The Dual,' 'The Lady with the Dog,'
'Betrothed,' 'Gooseberries,' ' The Kiss,' ' Fat and Thin,' and
'The Trousseau'.
