Anton Chekhov: Anna on the Neck

This book includes the stories "Anna on the Neck," "The House with the Mezzanine," "A Woman’s Kingdom," "About Love," "The Lady with the Dog," "Ariadne," and others. All of them explore how a person searches for their place in the world, makes moral choices, and experiences first love, disappointments, and hopes. Chekhov, a recognized master of the short form, creates vivid, memorable characters. Fatal and innocent, independent and childlike, those striving for knowledge and those consumed by the entertainment and intrigues of high society — in the stories of this collection, Chekhov examines a wide variety of female destinies. What are his heroines willing to risk in search of personal happiness, and what are they ready to sacrifice in the name of love? Can one become happy if everything has already been decided for you? And is the game worth the candle?
