Synopsis:
"Why have I done this?" he kept asking himself in bewilderment and despair, futilely trying to drive the vision of his friend's beautiful wife from his mind. "Why has it turned out like this and not differently? To whom and for what was it necessary that she should love me in earnest?" The stories of Anton Chekhov delve beneath the surface veneer of life among the minor officials and landed gentry ...of a Russia long vanished from the face of the Earth -- unveiling them in their moments of triumph and weakness, when they are tortured with uncertainties or blazing with passionate self-confidence. Chekhov bares loves and hates, trivial and monumental, in such miniature masterpieces as "The Party," "The Terror," and "A Misfortune."
About the Author:
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860 - 1904) was a Russian playwright and short story writer, who is considered to be among the greatest writers of short fiction in history. His career as a playwright produced four classics and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theater. Chekhov practiced as a medical doctor throughout most of his literary career: "Medicine is my lawful wife", he once said, "and literature is my mistress."
