    Small Fry

    Written by Anton Chekhov

    Narrated by Anastasia Bertollo

    ()

    About this audiobook

    Anton Chekhov’s books are the real classic of humor. His stories are full of jokes and charismatic characters. All of his short works imbued with irony and truth. Chekhov's stories were translated into more than 125 languages and his plays sound in many theaters around the world for more than 100 years.

    In the story “Small Fry”, there is a bright theme of flattery and servility. And the name of the story sets the tone of the narrative. Paltry small man – Nevyrazimov - humiliates himself even more with servility and subservience.

    "HONORED Sir, Father and Benefactor!", But he thinks "What else can I write to him, the rascal?" The world where Nevyrazimov lives is full of hate and fear of life.

    A SmartTouch Media production.

    Anton Chekhov

    Anton Chekhov was born in Taganrog, in southern Russia, and in his youth paid for his own education and supported his entire family by writing short, satirical sketches of Russian life. Though he eventually became a physician and once considered medicine his principal career, he continued to gain popularity and praise as a writer for various Russian newspapers, eventually authoring more literary work and ultimately his most well-known plays, including Ivanov, The Seagull, and Uncle Vanya. He died of tuberculosis in 1904, and is regarded as one of the best short story writers in history, influencing such authors as Ernest Hemingway, Vladimir Nabokov, and Raymond Carver.
