Forty Stories (Paperback)
[Buy it!] | Anton Chekhov | USD 18.39
(Thu May 23 00:38:01 2024) | Abebooks | Grand Eagle Retail | ISBN10: 0679733752, ISBN13: 9780679733751, [publisher: Random House USA Inc, New York] Softcover Paperback. If any writer can be said to have invented the modern short story, it is Anton Chekhov. It is not just that Chekhov democratized this art form; more than that, he changed the thrust of short fiction from relating to revealing. And what marvelous and unbearable things are revealed in these Forty Stories. The abashed happiness of a woman in the presence of the husband who abandoned her years before. The obsequious terror of the official who accidentally sneezes on a general. The poignant astonishment of an aging Don Juan overtaken by love. Spanning the entirety of Chekhov's career and including such masterpieces as "Surgery," "The Huntsman," "Anyuta," "Sleepyhead," "The Lady With the Pet Dog," and "The Bishop," this collection manages to be amusing, dazzling, and supremely movingoften within a single page. Selected stories from each period of Chekhov's career offer a humorous look at ordinary people in trying situations. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
