About this book

The Note-Book of Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) prints the working journal the great Russian writer kept through his last decade, the scraps of overheard talk, story germs, and dry observations from which his tales and plays grew. The English version by S. S. Koteliansky and Leonard Woolf appeared from the Hogarth Press in 1921, part of the Bloomsbury wave that brought Chekhov to English readers. Brief as the entries are, the whole Chekhovian world is in them: comic, melancholy, exact. Writers have pillaged it for a century.
