Reader comments
I like Chekhov's writing style, especially some of the descriptions of the environment, which are very immersive. The occasional foreshadowing and hints in the article will attract you towards the final ending of the story. He likes to use irony and exaggeration to describe characters, which will give readers a deeper impression of the characters. It's just that people's names in Russia are really long and hard to remember hh.
The translation of this book is excellent, the writing is concise, and it retains Chekhov's unique writing style. The author has keen observation and can always draw vivid characters with just a few strokes. Moreover, the book also contains many classic works of Chekhov, each of which is wonderful, allowing people to fully feel the charm of Chekhov's novels. I think this book is very suitable for friends who like short stories and is worth reading!
