About this book

This collection gathers the short fiction of Anton Chekhov, the Russian writer who did more than anyone to shape the modern short story. In these tales, translated by Constance Garnett, Chekhov turns his calm, unsparing gaze on peasants and landowners, doctors and clerks, lovers and lonely people, finding in the small events of ordinary life the whole weight of human hope and disappointment. He offers no easy morals and no tidy endings, only moments seen so clearly and with such compassion that they stay with the reader. The stories range from the broadly comic to the quietly devastating.
