230 Short Stories by Chekhov (Illustrated)
Anton Chekhov was a Russian playwright and writer, who is considered to be among the greatest writers of short fiction in history.
One of the first non-Russians to praise Chekhov's plays was George Bernard Shaw, who subtitled his Heartbreak House "A Fantasia in the Russian Manner on English Themes," and pointed out similarities between the predicament of the British landed class and that of their Russian counterparts as depicted by Chekhov: "the same nice people, the same utter futility."
Raymond Carver, who wrote the short story "Errand" about Chekhov's death, believed that Chekhov was the greatest of all short story writers: "Chekhov's stories are as wonderful (and necessary) now as when they first appeared. It is not only the immense number of stories he wrote--for few, if any, writers have ever done more--it is the awesome frequency with which he produced masterpieces, stories that shrive us as well as delight and move us, that lay bare our emotions in ways only true art can accomplish."
This collection contains 230 of Chekhov's most famous short stories.
