Anton Chekhov has long been regarded as the master of the Russian
short story and one of the leading exponents of the genre in world
literature. This volume comprises the classic selection edited by
Birkett and Struve, in Russian, here furnished with a new
bibliography, and complements the stories and plays by Chekhov
already available in the BCP Russian Texts series. The twelve
stories, which date from 1883 to 1896, range from miniatures of
comic levity such as Tolsttyi i tonkii to stories of sophisticated
maturity such as Dom s mezoninom. The stories included are as
follows (titles given in English translation): Fat Man and Thin
Man; The Boys; A Test for Rank; A Failure; A Little Joke; The Blank
Catch; The Beauties; The Student; At Yuletide; An Incident in
Practice; Anna Round the Neck; The House with the Mezzanine.
