โœฆ Synopsis

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a Russian physician and author who is considered to be among the greatest writers of short stories in history. His career as a dramatist produced four classics and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Chekhov practised as a medical doctor throughout most of his literary career: "Medicine is my lawful wife", he once said, "and literature is my mistress." This collection of ten of his best short stories include:

  • Nerves
  • Not Wanted
  • Oh! The Public
  • Old Age
  • On Official Duty
  • On The Road
  • Overdoing It
  • Oysters
  • Panic Fears
  • Peasant Wives
