About this book

A hospital assistant loses his way in a snowstorm while driving a borrowed horse, then seeks warmth at an inn with a dangerous reputation. This opening to “The Horse-Stealers” introduces one of the many situations gathered in this collection of Anton Chekhov's short fiction in English translation. The contents bring together several story collections, with translations credited to Constance Garnett, Samuel S. Koteliansky and R. E. C. Long.

Elsewhere, Nadya laughs over a letter as her thoughts turn between two admirers and the pleasures of the coming summer. In “A Lady's Story,” a woman recalls riding home with a deputy prosecutor as a thunderstorm approaches. Such scenes put changing moods beside weather, conversation and ordinary practical concerns.
