About this book

The title story, in which a jaded married man and a young woman begin a seaside affair that turns unexpectedly into real love, is often called the finest short story ever written. Around it this collection gathers other examples of Chekhov's mature art, in which very little seems to happen and everything is at stake. He watches ordinary people at moments of quiet crisis, refusing easy judgment or tidy endings, and finds the whole weight of a life in a glance or a missed word. Understated and endlessly humane, these stories reshaped what fiction could do. Presented in English translation. Free to download as a PDF or EPUB.

About the author

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian short-story writer and playwright who worked as a physician for much of his life. A master of the modern short story and author of plays such as The Seagull and The Cherry Orchard, he shaped twentieth-century drama and fiction alike before dying of tuberculosis at forty-four.
