«El reino de las mujeres» is the story by Anton Chekhov, published by Ediciones Invisibles in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
In nineteenth-century Russia, Anna Akimovna, a young heiress to a large factory, spends Christmas Day wandering through her enormous house, thinking about the loneliness that accompanies her and how hard it is for her to find a husband. Neither high society, which despises her for her origins, nor the workers and neighbors who raised her, from whom her fortune now separates her, offer her a place where she feels at ease.
First edition in May 2019. Original title: Babe tsarstvo. Translated from the Russian by Marta Rebón. First title in the Pequeños Placeres collection.
For the general public interested in classic fiction and Chekhov's short narrative.
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."
