Description

Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, the highly-acclaimed translators of War and Peace, Doctor Zhivago, and Anna Karenina, that was an Oprah Book Club pick and million-copy best-seller, provide their unparalleled skills for The Selected Stories of Anton Chekhov, an accumulation of thirty of Chekhov’s greatest reports in the main periods of his creative life.   Regarded the best short-story writer, Anton Chekhov transformed the style itself together with his free, impressionistic depictions of Russian life and the human situation. From usually brief, evocative early items such as “The Huntsman” and the tour-de force “A Dull Tale,” to his best known tales such as “The Woman with the Small Dog” and their own particular favorite, “The Pupil,” Chekhov’s quick fiction offers the transcendent power of art to amazement and alter the audience. This edition, skillfully converted, is particularly devoted to the meaning of Chekhov’s prose and the initial rhythms of his writing, providing visitors a genuine knowledge of his success and a geniune feeling of his design.
