About this audiobook
Anton Chekhov
Anton Chekhov was born in 1860 in Southern Russia and moved to Moscow to study medicine. Whilst at university he sold short stories and sketches to magazines to raise money to support his family. His success and acclaim grew as both a writer of fiction and of plays whilst he continued to practice medicine. Ill health forced him to move from his country estate near Moscow to Yalta where he wrote some of his most famous work, and it was there that he married actress Olga Knipper. He died from tuberculosis in 1904.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I actually would give this a 4.5...I really don't know what to say about Chekhov that hasn't been said before. He is obviously a master at the short story. His stories in this volume are mainly about normal almost mundane lives of the upper class. Affairs, courting, marriages, having bad dreams, growing up, etc. I appreciate that Chekhov can make such normal situations compelling to read and he doesn't have neat tidy endings or judge his characters one way or another. The only thing that's preventing me from awarding five stars is that I found myself becoming a little tired of hearing solely about the rich and ridiculous in Russia, and the recurring tendency for the women characters to be completely helpless, inane, and irrational, while the males were cruel, self-important, and indifferent. While I don't have a problem with characters exhibiting those qualities, it just seemed to happen a little too much in this volume of stories.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5. . . who loved without any genuine feeling, with superfluous phrases, affectedly, hysterically, with an expression that suggested that it was not love nor passion, but something more significant; . . .
Exquisite prose.
