In the final years of his prominent life, Chekhov had reached the height of his powers as a dramatist, and also produced some of the stories that rank among his masterpieces. The poignant ‘The Lady with the Little Dog’ and ‘About Love’ examine the nature of love outside of marriage – its romantic idealism and the fear of disillusionment. And in stories such as ‘Peasants’, In the final years of his prominent life, Chekhov had reached the height of his powers as a dramatist, and also produced some of the stories that rank among his masterpieces. The poignant ‘The Lady with the Little Dog’ and ‘About Love’ examine the nature of love outside of marriage – its romantic idealism and the fear of disillusionment. And in stories such as ‘Peasants’, ‘The House with the Mezzanine’ and ‘My Life’ Chekhov paints a vivid picture of the conditions of the poor and of their powerlessness in the face of exploitation and hardship. With the works collected here, Chekhov moved away from the realism of his earlier tales – developing a broader range of characters and subject matter, while forging the spare minimalist style that would inspire modern short-story writers such as Hemingway and Faulkner.

Review ebook The Lady With the Little Dog and Other Stories, 1896-1904

It has been a long time since I’ve finished reading this. But the year is coming to a close and I have not written properly how moving, deep, profound and little sad it was. And the rest of it. Here is the compromised solution. I’ve read slightly different selection and in Russian. But this book is the closest to the selection I’ve read. The selection was of Chekhov stories about love. In the introduction, there was an old joke that Parisian prostititutes in the 19th century used to say “Love wa It has been a long time since I’ve finished reading this. But the year is coming to a close and I have not written properly how moving, deep, profound and little sad it was. And the rest of it. Here is the compromised solution. I’ve read slightly different selection and in Russian. But this book is the closest to the selection I’ve read. The selection was of Chekhov stories about love. In the introduction, there was an old joke that Parisian prostititutes in the 19th century used to say “Love was imagined by the Russians top replace paying”.

Chekhov himself said in his diaries: “Love. It is either the remains of something disappearing that was enormous sometime ago, or it is a part of something that would become enormous in the future. At present, it does not satisfy and it gives much less than you anticipate from it.”

And this transience and lack of possible resolution is all over these stories. Wonderful stuff. My favourites this time around:

Mire
Verochka
Volodya
Terror
The Two Volodyas
The Helpmate
Betrothed

This is a moving selection if you are in a mood for love as seen by Chekhov.

Happy New Year!
Let it be the one of love, tolerance and understanding. …more
