Fifty-Two Stories - Anton Chekhov
A masterfully rendered volume of Chekhov's stories from award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa VolokhonskyChekhov's genius left an indelible impact on every literary form in which he wrote, but none more so than short fiction. This volume, which spans the full arc of Chekhov's career and includes a number of tales translated into English for the first time, reveals the extraordinary variety of his work. Now, renowned translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky give us their superb renderings of fifty-two Chekhov stories.
This is a collection that promises profound delight. Ranging from the farcically comic to the darkly complex, the stories are populated by a remarkable range of characters who come from all parts of Russia, all walks of life, and who, taken together, have democratized the short story.
