Stories. Humores (1882-1884). In 12 volumes. Volume 2. Chekhov Anton Pavlovich

The most witty stories of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. Stories in which he is evil and mercilessly laughs at the philistinism of officials and businessmen, the enthusiasm and stupidity of provincial beauties and the predatory practicalism of the capital's “lionesses”, over the beautifulness and laziness of the intelligentsia and the emergencyness of people vested with power. Sometimes it is laughter through tears, and sometimes the humor of Chekhov’s stories turns into a hard satire, relevant today. Times are changing, but the reader still finds out in the characters of Chekhov people who are meeting daily.
