Overview
"Chekhov's stories are as wonderful (and necessary) now as when they first appeared. [...] stories that shrive us as well as delight and move us, that lay bare our emotions in ways only true art can accomplish" - Raymond Carver
This elegant pocket edition brings together 25 celebrated short stories by Anton Chekhov, featuring gilded page-edges.
Chekhov's short stories were some of the most influential in modern literature. Relying on subtlety and clever characterization rather than explicit action, his sketches of Russian life bring out comedy, tragedy and all aspects of human nature. This beautiful collection features some of Chekhov's most celebrated stories, including 'Vanka', 'The Lady with a Dog' and 'Gooseberries', using the classic translation by Constance Garnett.
This beautiful gift edition is presented with gilded page edges, foil cover embossing and patterned endpapers, making a wonderful collectible edition for any lover of classic literature.
ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Ornate Classics are beautifully bound editions of iconic literary works across history. These compact, foil-embossed hardbacks are printed using deluxe ivory paper and make the perfect gift.
