My Life: The story of a provincial (Easy to Read Layout)

by Anton Chekhov, Constance Garnett (Translator)

Overview

"If I wanted to order a ring for myself, the inscription I should choose would be: "Nothing passes away." I believe that nothing passes away without leaving a trace, and that every step we take, however small, has significance for our present and our future existence." - A.C

First published in 1896, "My Life" tells the story of Misail Poloznev, a young man who rejects the traditional path of education and social status to work as a manual laborer. He is driven by a desire to live an honest and meaningful life, but faces challenges and disillusionment along the way. The story explores themes of social class, idealism, and the search for meaning in life. It also offers a glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of Russia in the late 19th century.
