| Summary, etc |
This superb collection of thirty-five short stories offers a larger and more representative sampling of Chekhov's early work than ever before. Although nine-tenths of all his published fiction was written between the ages of twenty and twenty-eight, there has never been an English-language edition devoted solely to them. Many of these short stories display the purely comic side of Chekhov's writing, and reveal a rare glimpse of Chekhov's warm, exuberant absurdist homour as it ripens into a darker, more melancholy irony. |
