The beginnings of a master writer . . .,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Steppe and Other Stories, 1887-1891 (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)
I didn't know Chekov was considered a master of the short story until I read Janet Malcolm's pieces about him in The New Yorker. So I started with this book, which contains some of his earliest stories. Each story is amazing and in them you can see him progressing into his own unique style. This is a great book to start with if you're reading Chekov for the first time.
