This collection of lesser-known early short fiction – ranging
from absurd humorous sketches to psychological dramas and tragic
tales – demonstrates Anton Chekhov’s mastery of the genre, with
stories about marital infidelity, betrayal, deception and love in
its various forms. Although varying in tone and purpose, what these
tales have in common is a profound and subtle understanding of the
human condition, in its farcical and melancholy aspects, couched in
Chekhov’s trademark minimalist style.
