The Lady with the Dog and Other Stories (1917) is a collection of
nine stories by Russian writer Anton Chekhov. Recognized today as
foundational for the development of the modern short story, Anton
Chekhov has transcended Russian literature to become one of the
most popular and acclaimed authors in history, in any language.
This collection includes "The Lady with the Dog," a meditative tale
of forbidden desire and the frailty of hope described by Vladimir
Nabokov as "one of the greatest stories ever written" despite
breaking "[a]ll the traditional rules" of storytelling. The title
story of the collection follows Dmitri Gurov, a married middle-aged
man who falls in love with a young newlywed while on vacation in
Yalta. The woman he desires, Anna Sergeyevna, is also unhappy with
her marriage, and soon the two spend their days together before
Anna decides to go home to her husband. Back in Moscow, Gurov-a man
who has had many affairs-finds himself unable to shake the memory
of Anna, and longs for the chance to see her once more. In "A
Doctor's Visit," a young doctor named Korlyov journeys to the home
of a recently deceased industrialist, where he has been called to
care for the frail heiress Liza. There, he finds himself beset with
dark thoughts and even darker visions, and soon discovers that the
cure for Liza's illness may be far beyond his skill. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Anton Chekhov's The Lady with the Dog and Other
Stories is a classic of Russian literature reimagined for modern
readers.
