Synopsis

This book contains a great selection of Chekhovs short stories. The titled tale Ward No.6 is also a stunning success. Chekhov describes pitiable characters, and uses them to formulate subtle yet powerful satires of the less noble aspects of human nature such as egocentrism and sophistry. He delves into the depth of his characters and explains the psychology in a deeply-stirring manner.
