Stories. Chekhov A.P.

The book includes the most famous stories of A.P. Chekhov: Kashtanka, Chameleon, Vanka, “Man in the Case”, “Chamber No. 6”, “Lady with the Dog” and others, the study of which is provided for school curriculum. Chekhov’s stories are short, but behind the apparent simplicity in them are hidden the depth of meaning and the complexity of artistic construction. Laconicity, stunning humor, irony and rich content make them unique and have no analogues in world literature. Maxim Gorky wrote: “Nobody understood as clearly and subtly as Anton Chekhov, the tragedy of the little things of life, no one before him knew how to give people a shameful and dreary picture of their life in the dull chaos of the philistine everyday life so mercilessly.”
