Description

The stories presented in this book are a broad sample of Chekhov's narrative genius. As masterfully constructed as his earlier stories, but with far greater richness and dimension, they deal with human beings suffering the pain of their wretched existence. The work has been viewed as a symbol for the bureaucratic quagmire of czarist and Stalinist Russia. It is also a universal comment on the person versus the state.

Author Biography:

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was born on January 17, 1860, in Taganrog on the Sea of Azov. The son of a small shopkeeper and the grandson of a serf, he had to improve his station in life the hard way. In 1888 he was awarded the Pushkin Prize for the collection In the Twilight. This and the publication of the long story The Steppe marked the beginning of Chekhov's recognition as one of Russia's leading young writers. In the years following he produced his first serious full-length play, Ivanov (1888), as well as a steady stream of short stories.
