The Greatest Short Stories of Anton Chekhov

Chekhov ends stories where other writers would begin explaining, and the result is fiction that leaves its readers holding the question. This anthology collects widely read pieces including The Lady with the Dog, The Bet, Ward No. 6 and The Black Monk, in which doctors, clerks, landowners and students misjudge their own lives in small, recognisable ways. The humour is dry, the cruelty is quiet, and the endings rarely resolve neatly. Fingerprint Publishing issues the selection as a collectible bound volume with careful typesetting.
