About The Book:
Anton Chekhov, one of the brightest stars in Russian literature, created works that transcend the borders of his country and continue to resonate worldwide with a timeless appeal. His stories often critique the oppressive class-based society of his time, pointing out the ruthlessness and ignorance of the upper class, as well as the disdain shown towards the lower classes. In nearly every story, there is a sharp irony, blending humor with a scathing commentary on the social system.

This collection includes 14 of Chekhov's short stories, written between 1883 and 1903, and features the valuable introduction by Maxim Gorky. In the introduction, Gorky wrote, "Finding the absurdity and emphasizing it is a technique that can only be mastered by those whose demands in life are of a higher nature. The intense desire to see people as simple, beautiful, and harmonious is the source of this technique."

Chekhov’s stories continue to offer profound insights into human nature and society, making this collection an essential read for lovers of classic literature.
