A collection of short stories by a master of the genre, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, whose works resemble pictures of human mood, feelings and atmosphere. Less interested in plot, he created vivid characters, and gave detailed account of their life, revealing paradoxes and his deep understanding of human soul. Being one of the most widely known authors of nineteenth-century Russian literature, Chekhov is best remembered today primarily on his plays. However, his short stories are of great success at
...all times. The author deals with serious social and moral questions, avoiding giving answers. His innovations in the poetics of short prose fiction served as models for the finest American and European short-story writers throughout the twentieth century.
