Stories of Anton Chekhov by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

recommended for: basically anybody
A refreshing reminder of what short stories used to be like before the age of gimmicks, verbal tics, etc., when the short story was still a popular and respected art form. The stories resonate most of all because of his humanity and compassion, even for unsympathetic characters, and his at times acute renderings of Russian women.
