Steppe. Chekhov A.P.

This collection included stories written by Chekhov in the fruitful and largely turning point for his work, the period of the 1880-1890s. In them, a young writer, who has already lost its youthful optimism, and later reached the calm and ironic wise of mature years, discovered a topic that became the main thing for him, the theme of the Russian intelligentsia.

Love and professional activity, relations with people, parental feelings and attempts to gain the meaning of existence - all this for the heroes of his stories becomes a reason for a complex and merciless introspection.
