Description
The Shooting Party, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov's only full-length novel, is a gripping tale of love, lust and deceit set in a country estate. Olga, the beautiful daughter of a drunken forester, finds herself entangled in a web of relationships with those around her.
As she navigates her marriage to Urbenin, the estate manager, and her desires for Count Karneyev and Zinovyev, a magistrate, Olga's life becomes increasingly complicated. When an attempt is made on her life, it seems impossible to uncover the truth behind the sinister events unfolding in the woods.
This Penguin Classics edition, translated and edited by Ronald Wilks with an introduction by John Sutherland, brings Chekhov's early experiment in fiction to new readers. With its brilliant dialogue and exploration of corruption, concealed love and fatal jealousy, The Shooting Party is a worthwhile read for those interested in the masterful works of Anton Chekhov.
