Anton Chekhov
(5 Sterne; 1 Bewertungen)
Here are 25 stories by Russian writer Anton Chekhov, beautifully translated by Constance Garnett, each showcasing Chekhov's intimate knowledge of human nature, overflowing with his sarcastic wit and biting observations on a rich and sophisticated Russian culture. From the New World Encyclopedia: "Chekhov did not become internationally famous until the years after World War I, by which time Constance Garnett's translations (into English) had become available. His elusive, superficially guileless style of writing, in which what is left unsaid is often more important than what is said, proved to be very influential in twentieth-century literature." - Summary by Michele Fry, BC (7 hr 2 min)
