Writing towards the close of the nineteenth century, Chekhov -
himself a country doctor - recorded in his fiction the symptoms of
a diseased society. The seven stories collected here are a bleakly
savage indictment of a society paralysed by spiritual malaise, and
morbidly conscious of evils which can neither be killed nor cured.
This volume also contains an Introduction by Ronald Hingley. ABOUT
