Book Description

January 1, 2000
[This is the Audiobook Cassette Library Edition in vinyl case.]

Here is the greatest novella and the most unforgettable stories of a master writer who saw all of life and rejected none of it. In'' The Kiss'', a lonely, love-starved soldier keeps a secret rendezvous for another man and becomes enamored with a woman he is never to see again.

''The Duel'' describes the collisions between men and women in hopeless relationship, and how two men are driven to settle the score in a clandestine meeting on a bridge, pistols in hand.

Other stories included here are:

*Excellent People

*Mire

*Neighbours

and

*The Princess.

In all of these stories, Chekhov's brilliant portrayal of people from all walks of life and how they deal with the moral dilemmas their circumstances press upon them come to vivid life in the reader's mind.

Editorial Reviews

Review

''The magic of the man is inescapable.'' --Saturday Review

''In Chekhov, literature seems to break its wand like Prospero, renouncing the magic of artifice, ceremony, and idealization, and facing us, for the first time, with a reflection of ourselves in our unadorned ordinariness as well as our unfathomable strangeness.'' --Guardian (UK)

About the Author

ANTON CHEKHOV was the author of hundreds of short stories and several plays and is regarded by many as both the greatest Russian storyteller and the father of modern drama.
