Chekhov's Short Stories - 1882 - Paperback

by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (Author)

This volume contains translations of Chekhov's short stories published in 1882. The Chekhov represented here is by no means the confident, near-perfect craftsman who produced some of humanity's best short stories and plays. The artist presented here is a young man willing to experiment but searching for his style and voice. In a way, it can serve as inspiration for any aspiring writer that even the best are not born great, but rather achieve greatness through a relentless dedication to their craft.
