Selected Short Stories by Chekhov
About This Novel
This book collects 22 masterpieces from Chekhov's three major creative periods, including "The Chameleon", "Death of a Petty Officer", "The Fat Man and the Thin Man", "Wanka", "The Lady with the Puppy", as well as the mini-trilogy "The Man in the Trap", "Gooseberry", "On Love" and other famous works. These stories based on fragments of daily life expose social evils such as authoritarianism, hierarchy, bureaucracy, criticize selfishness, indifference, greed, vulgarity, servility, conservatism and other human flaws, and express the author's yearning for the light of humanity. In the postscript of the translation, translator Xie Zhou provides an in-depth analysis of Chekhov's three major creative themes and symbols - "fences, women and dogs", helping readers understand his works from a broader perspective.
