With an Introduction and Notes by Joe Andrew, Professor of Russian
Literature, Keele University. Anton Chekhov is widely regarded as
one of the greatest writers of short stories. He constructs stories
where action and drama are implied rather than described openly,
and which leave much to the reader's imagination. This collection
contains some of the most important of his earliest and shortest
comic sketches, as well as examples of his great, mature works.
Throughout, the doctor-turned-writer displays compassion for human
suffering and misfortune, but is always able to see the comical,
even farcical aspects of the human condition. Chekhov sees and
depicts life with unwavering honesty and truthfulness, although a
clear moral sense can be detected beneath his apparent objectivity.
