The essential edition of the greatest stories by the Russian master of
the form

Chekhov was without doubt one of the greatest observers of human nature
in all its untidy complexity. His short stories, written throughout his
life and newly translated for this essential collection, are exquisite
masterpieces in miniature.

Here are tales offering a glimpse of beauty, the memory of a mistaken
kiss, daydreams of adultery, a lifetime of marital neglect, the frailty
of life, the inevitability of death, and the hilarious pomposity of
ordinary men and women. They range from the lighthearted comic tales of
his early years to some of the most achingly profound stories ever
composed.
