Twenty-eight stories by Anton Chekhov, chosen for their representative portrayal of the human comedy, are presented in this collection. It includes two complete plays: The Boor, an example of his earlier dramatic work, and The Cherry Orchard, his last and finest play.
Alongside these stories and plays, the volume features a selection of letters that candidly reveal Chekhov's impassioned convictions on life and art, as well as his personal experiences and relationships.
This collection offers a comprehensive insight into Chekhov's literary stature and enduring influence on the modern short story. Edited by Avrahm Yarmolinsky, it provides a unique opportunity to engage with one of literature's most significant figures.
