Table of Contents

Included among the dozen stories presented here are many of Chekhov's most famous and celebrated - "The Lady with the Dog," "The darling," "Ward No, 6," "Peasants" - along with a few less well known through equally accomplished masterpieces like "Ariadne" and "The Bishop." Each of them demonstrates why Chekhov is such a superb anatomist of the human heart, a master of concision and storytelling - and why Chekhov's stories inspire so enthusiastic and devoted a following among fellow writers. Leo Tolstoy thought Chekhov the finest photographer of the Russian countryside. James T. Farrell thought him simply the greatest and most influential practitioner of the short form. And Vladimir Nabokov, never one to mince words, insisted that preferring Dostoyevsky or Gorky to Chekhov is tantamount to being unable to grasp "the essentials of universal literary art."

The English versions offered here are by the celebrated translator Constance Garnett. They remain among the finest renderings of Chekhov's work ever done.
