2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Us on a skewer, for all timeBy D. J. LeedhamChekhov is a great master of Russian literature. But somehow I'd not gotten round to reading him. This very inexpensive collection proved to be a real find. I happen to appreciate the translation. Though there have been more literal and more deeply researched translations since. This works for me because the slightly antiquated translation reflects the time and sensibility of the writer. In this sense the more contemporary translations are anachronistic and ring false. He prefers to write vignettes for his short stories. Each one a very sharp beautifully articulated account of a particular sensibility or human foible in response to some particular circumstance. His linguistic mastery survives translation better than some great Russians. He is truly a universal and timeless observer ... of us. And a deeply satisfying read. Again and again.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Truly Enjoyable!By Devon JonesIn addition it has "A Transgression", "A Tragic Actor", "The First-Class Passenger" as the comical highlights of the book. "In Exile" "Misery" and "A Nervous Breakdown", which are very good. Overall, I am very pleased. Since I've started reading Anton Chekhov's stories I've wanted to have a Russian ascent so, I can properly pronounce each name and say "plague take you!" how his characters do.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. CHEKHOV A MASTER OF SHORT STORIESBy Hari N.SpanouI chose the book because I feel that as a reader, I have "gaps" in classic literature.Chekhov's short stories seemed a good way to start 'filling the gap''of Russian literature.I enjoyed the short stories, because he is a master of character building in a background atmosphere of his era.

Language NotesText: English, Russian (translation)About the AuthorAnton Chekhov (1860 ndash; 1904) was a Russian playwright and master of the modern short story. He was a literary artist of laconic precision who probed below the surface of life, laying bare the secret motives of his characters. Chekhov had at first written stories only for financial gain, but as his artistic ambition grew, he made formal innovations which have influenced the evolution of the modern short story. Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. Chekhov practiced as a medical doctor throughout most of his literary career. He has influenced many playwrights. Chekhov's works have been adapted for the screen.
