"About Love" - ​​Love and life in Chekhov's works. This book collects ten Chekhov short stories with the theme of love. By depicting the subtle psychology of men, women, old and young when facing love, it explores how love occurs and how it ends. Chekhov described various forms of love that have disappeared, imagined, and are about to come, ranging from expectation and warmth to absurdity and ridicule, as well as powerlessness and embarrassment. In these stories, we can see the dilemmas faced by people's hearts and their perceptions of life under the context of love. Chekhov tells us through his novels that facing love is facing life, and whether the ending is happy or unsolvable has been unpredictable since ancient times. However, the most important thing is whether you can capture the touching moment when love first comes, because that may be the opportunity to seize the opportunity to renovate your life. As to what the answer is, Chekhov leaves it up to the reader to find out.

This book is a volume of the complete collection of Chekhov's plays, including a total of nine one-act plays such as "The Road", "On the Harm of Tobacco", "Swan Song", and "The Bear".

The landowner is on the verge of bankruptcy and the cherry orchard will soon be auctioned off. The only rescue measure is to cut down all the cherry trees, build villas and collect rent. The landowner grew up here and was so attached to his homeland that he couldn't bear to cut down the cherry trees and was still reluctant to make up his mind. Eventually the cherry orchard was purchased by a former servant. The landowner's family left forever, living in a foreign land. At the end there is the sound of logging. This drama collection includes Chekhov's masterpieces "The Seagull", "Uncle Vanya", "Three Sisters", "The Cherry Orchard" and the one-act play "Swan Song". Chekhov's plays are more like prose. There is no conflict, no position, and no ending. The dialogue is ineffective, and the monologues tend to be arbitrary. The characters here are kind and noble, but they are all obsessed with fantasy, stumbling and becoming ridiculous in the rapidly changing life. But as long as they still exist, there is still hope for the world to get better, because among the cruel laws of nature, the most admirable thing is precisely "the survival of the weak."

The complete collection of Chekhov's novels, accompanied by 80 classic illustrations. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904), a world-class Russian short story master and outstanding playwright, was the last critical realist art master in Russia in the late 19th century. He is known as one of the "three major short story writers in the world" together with the French writer Maupassant and the American writer O. Henry. On the basis of the tradition of Russian realism, Chekhov took a new approach, opened up a new world with short stories, and revolutionized the literary genre of short stories. In Russia, which originally did not regard short stories as a major art form, Chekhov became the only master of realism whose short stories were recognized as classic writers. This collection is based on the first ten volumes of the 30-volume "The Complete Works of Chekhov" published in the Soviet Union. It contains all of Chekhov's novels.
