The work of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is known throughout the world. Behind the outward simplicity of his plots, whether it be a short humorous sketch or a lengthy novella, there is invariably a profound drama of human relationships. Lyricism, irony, and subtle psychologism soften the sense of conflict that lies at the heart of his stories and novellas, and Chekhov's brevity leaves an impression of ambiguity and multifaceted meaning. This edition presents stories and novellas from different years, vaudevilles, and the novel "The Shooting Party," which was adapted into the film "A Hunting Accident."
