7 best short stories by Anton Chekhov –

Welcome to the 7 Best Short Stories book series, were we present to you the best works of remarkable authors. This edition is dedicated to Nikolai Gogol. Anton Chekhov was a master of the modern short story. He was a literary artist of laconic precision who probed below the surface of life, laying bare the secret motives of his characters. Chekhov’s best plays and short stories lack complex plots and neat solutions. Concentrating on apparent trivialities, they create a special kind of atmosphere, sometimes termed haunting or lyrical. Chekhov described the Russian life of his time using a deceptively simple technique devoid of obtrusive literary devices, and he is regarded as the outstanding representative of the late 19th-century Russian realist school. This book contains: – The Lady With The Little Dog. – Ward No 6. – A Joke. – The Darling. – Kashtanka. – The Black Monk. – In The Ravine.
