WRONG BOOK

The Wife by Anton Chekhov

In this classic short story, Chekhov takes a snapshot of the Russian life, illuminating the harsh complexities and yet subtle simplicities that interact seamlessly together. The cold and gloom of the Russian environment cannot compare to the relationship that Pavel Andreitch, a rich aristocratic, has with his wife, who is no longer in love, or even tolerant of her husband, although helplessly reliant on his financial support. Their disintegrating relationship is set to the backdrop of the starving peasants of the lower classes, illuminating the perennial tension ...

Anton Chekhov was one of the most important short story writers and dramatists of all time. Ranked among the giants of Russian literature during his lifetime, this playwright's legacy includes "The Cherry Orchard", "Uncle Vanya", "Three Sisters", and "The Seagull". This invaluable new study guide in the "Bloom's Modern Critical Views" series contains a selection of the finest contemporary criticism of Chekhov and his works.

Called the greatest of short story writer, Anton Chekhov changed the genre itself with his spare, impressionistic depictions of Russian life and the human condition. Now, thirty of his best tales from the major periods of his creative life are available in this outstanding one volume edition. Included are Chekhov's characteristically brief, evocative early pieces such as "The Huntsman" from 1885, which brilliantly conveys the complex texture of two lives during a meeting on a summer's day.

“Shrove Tuesday” by Anton P. Chekhov
Для тех, кто соблюдает Великий Пост.

As you can see, it was the custom both in East and West to eat up the stuff before Lent that you couldn’t eat during, and to confess your sins before Lent began. (But Orthodox Lent really begins on “Clean Monday” (Feb. 19 this year), so really this is a story about the Sunday before Lent begins. Eat your pancakes and paczki, and go bug the dead translators.)
One of Russia's greatest writers, Chekhov began his career writing jokes and anecdotes for popular magazines to support himself while he studied to become a doctor. Between 1888 and his death he single-handedly revolutionized both the drama and the short story. Near the end of his life he married an actress, Olga Knipper. He died from tuberculosis in 1904, age 44.
Although best known in the West for his plays (The Cherry Orchard, etc.), Chekhov also wrote over 200 short stories as well as longer works. Public domain translations of them all are available on the Net; here’s a prime site for them - . 201 Stories by Anton Chekhov -
