The Duel and Other Stories
by Anton Chekhov
Six selections from the famous Russian show his natural passion for detail, dialogue, humor and compassion. It contains "Beloved," a poignant piece that supports the claim that life has no meaning without love; As well as "The Kiss," "Anna on the Neck," "The Man in the Case," "The Intruder," and the title story. Chekhov's unwavering penetration into the violent emotions that excite men and women in "The Chemist's Wife" and "The Duel" and others that can be found in other stories instills in his valuable fiction a yet unrequited power.
