What this is and what it isn't
First, there is no false advertising of this product. It *IS* a book of Anton Chekhov's plays but it is not a *complete* book of his plays and short stories. This book contains four of Chekhov's major plays: The Sea Gull, Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard.

This review is from: Anton Chekhov's Plays (Norton Critical Edition) (Paperback)
First, there is no false advertising of this product. It *IS* a book of Anton Chekhov's plays but it is not a *complete* book of his plays and short stories. This book contains four of Chekhov's major plays: The Sea Gull, Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. If you are studying Chekhov, Russian Literature or are an actor, you will find the footnotes and essays particularly helpful in fleshing out the meanings behind particular scenes or even a character's objective. You'll need to look elsewhere for The Bear, The Proposal, Ivanov and Wild Honey but there is merit in this particular collection.
