The Lady with the Dog and Other Stories
by Anton Chekhov
In the last decade of his life, Anton Chekhov wrote his great plays, spent time treating patients, wrote few stories, which are considered his masterpieces. Eleven stories collected here – _The A Lady with a Little Dog, The Noble House, My Life, The Peasants, A Visit to Friends, Ionich, About Love, In a Valley, Bishop, The Bride and Imbalance – greet from this fertile era. In response to techniques of symbolism and impressionism, they uncover a writer who went beyond nineteenth-century realism and became an innovator of the modern novel, influencing important literary figures of the twentieth century, such as Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner.
