Thirty of Anton Chekhov's best impressionistic depictions of Russian life and the human condition from the major period of his creative life are available in this outstanding one-volume edition. Some titles included are:
- 'The Huntsman' (1885): conveying the complex texture of two lives during a meeting on a summer's day.
- 'A Boring Story' (1889): the penetrating and caustic self-analysis of a dying professor of medicine.
- 'Ward No. 6' (1892): where the tables turn on the director of a mental hospital and make him an inmate.
- 'The Lady With The Little Dog' (1899): a look at illicit love.
- and 'The Student': a moving piece about the importance of religious tradition.
Atmospheric, compassionate and uncannily wise, Chekhov's short fiction possesses the transcendent power of art to awe and change the reader.
