Immerse yourself in the mastery of Anton Chekhov with this anthology of essential stories, a selection made by the renowned writer Richard Ford. The stories, translated by experts such as Luis Abollado and Ricardo San Vicente, offer a twilight and lucid vision of life, exploring themes such as love, marriage and death with touches of irony and pessimism. This edition of Penguin Classics presents a collection of short stories that capture the essence of Chekhov's literary genius, reflecting a reality that dissolves into mediocrity and lack of breath.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short story writer. Widely considered one of the greatest writers of all time, his career as a playwright produced four classics, and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. Chekhov was a physician by profession. "Medicine is my lawful wife," he once said, "and literature is my mistress."
