Summary
Anton Chekhov’s short novels are here brought together in one volume for the first time, in a masterly new translation by the award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky.
In these five short novels, Chekhov’s masterful storytelling and his profound understanding of human nature are brilliantly evinced. Chekhov, widely hailed as the supreme master of the short story, also wrote five works long enough to be called short novels.
