Chekhov's Selected Stories | Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov was one of Russian literature's greatest short story writers. This collection brings together twenty-five of his best known, including 'Fat and Thin', 'Sleepy', 'Rothchild's Fiddle', and 'The Lady with a Dog'.

An acute observer of everyday life in late 19th-century Russian, Chekhov was a master of wry precision. His clear, subtle prose conjures up a diverse range of characters, whether they be small children arguing over a game, two old school friends meeting by chance, or lovers conducting and illicit affair. By turns tragic, comic, and satirical, each story paints a vivid picture that lives long in the mind.
