Love and Other Stories -- Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov's short stories are an extraordinary record of life in nineteenth-century Russia. Encompassing small-town coffin-makers, socially mobile Orthodox bishops, and wealthy Muscovite adulterers, the tales featured in <i>Love and Other Stories</i> are at once bleakly ironic and profoundly humane in their depiction of their subjects. These beautifully translated works demonstrate why Chekhov's short fiction has achieved universal acclaim: when it comes to pathos, suggestiveness, and sheer narrative economy, these stories have never been bettered.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Anton Chekhov<br><b>Publisher:</b> Eris<br><b>Published:</b> 03/11/2025<br><b>Pages:</b> 266<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.44lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.00h x 4.25w x 0.61d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781916809239<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian writer best known for his work as a dramatist.
