His work ranged from the light-hearted comic tales of his early years to some of the most achingly profound stories ever composed, and this variety of tone and temper is collected in this essential new collection. Chekhov wrote stories throughout his writing career, and this selection has been chosen from amongst his life's work, including many of his greatest works, alongside unfamiliar discoveries, all newly translated. From the masterpiece of minimalism 'The Beauties', to the beloved classic 'The Lady with the Little Dog', and from 'A Man in a Box' to the bitterly funny 'A Blunder', the stories collected here are the essential collection of Chekhov's greatest tales."--Publisher's description. 546 $a Translated to English from the Russian. 600 10 $a Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich, $d 1860-1904 $v Translations into English. 600 17 $a Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich, $d 1860-1904. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00045578 650 0 $a Short stories, Russian $v Translations into English. 651 0 $a Russia $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Short stories, Russian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117348 651 7 $a Russia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207312 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Translations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423791 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Slater, Nicolas Pasternak, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191116013106.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2E4C1CA22E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
