Fifty stories by Anton Chekhov sit together in this anthology, drawn from the short form he shaped more decisively than almost any writer who came after him.
Chekhov worked with ordinary lives: clerks, doctors, landowners, servants, people caught mid-decision. The stories rarely turn on incident, relying instead on a shift in understanding, and the breadth of the selection lets a reader watch that method change across his working life. Individual pieces run short enough for a single sitting.
A quick look inside:
• Fifty short stories gathered into one English volume
• Subjects taken from provincial Russian life, work, marriage and illness
• Restrained endings that leave judgement with the reader
• A practical starting point for anyone new to Russian literature
Useful for literature students, writers studying the short form and general readers alike, available at Boipoka.
