CHEKHOV: Stories for Our Time

A must-have collection by the great Russian author who captured humanity in all its complexity. Anton Chekhov wrote nearly 1000 stories, a body of work that is unmatched in its alchemy of sensitivity, wisdom, precision, verve, soulfulness, and economy. Chekhov's sensibility was radically human and thoroughly modern: write not how you think things should be, but rather as they are. Universally recognised as one of the greatest short story writers of all time, he revolutionised the form and had a profound influence on his successors. The Darling, Anna on the Neck, About Love, The Kiss, The Privy Councilor, The Name-Day Party (The Party), Gooseberries, An Attack of Nerves (A Nervous Breakdown), The Man in a Case, Gusev and The Siren among them. Chronology, line art illus, 352 page paperback.
