About this product
Product Information
The essential edition of the greatest stories by the Russian master of the form Chekhov was without doubt one of the greatest observers of human nature in all its untidy complexity. His short stories, written throughout his life and newly translated for this essential collection, are exquisite masterpieces in miniature. Here are tales offering a glimpse of beauty, the memory of a mistaken kiss, daydreams of adultery, a lifetime of marital neglect, the frailty of life, the inevitability of death, and the hilarious pomposity of ordinary men and women. They range from the lighthearted comic tales of his early years to some of the most achingly profound stories ever composed.

Reviews
'This beautifully produced selection of the stories from Pushkin Press (in a new translation by Nicolas Pasternak Slater) is an ideal way to discover Chekhov.' - The Times 'The uncontestable father of the modern short story . . . his stories are some of the best that have ever been written.' - Guardian 'Near-perfect fiction, newly translated' - Evening Standard 'Mysterious and mesmerising, these stories stay enshrined in the memory' - Daily Mail 'The language is subtle and lovely, full of a regretful tenderness' - Sunday Express, "This beautifully produced selection of the stories from Pushkin Press (in a new translation by Nicolas Pasternak Slater) is an ideal way to discover Chekhov." --The Times (UK) "Mysterious and mesmerizing, these stories stay enshrined in the memory." --The Daily Mail "Near-perfect fiction, newly translated." -- Evening Standard "The uncontestable father of the modern short story . . . his stories are some of the best that have ever been written." -- The Guardian "The language is subtle and lovely, full of a regretful tenderness." -- Sunday Express "Chekhov's genius lies in the way he manages to convey with such apparent effortlessness a profound sense of the mystery of beauty, and of the sadness of those who observe and think . . . a masterpiece of minimalism" -- Phillip Pullman "The greatest short story writer who has ever lived" -- Raymond Carver "In Chekhov literature seems to break its wand like Prospero, renouncing the magic of artifice, ceremony and idealization, and facing us, for the first time, with a reflection of ourselves in our unadorned ordinariness as well as our unfathomable strangeness." -- James Ladsun

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
