This captivating collection of short stories, selected from works written during Chekhov's prolific period, displays those qualities for which the Russian author and playwright is famous: a natural aptitude for detail, dialogue, humor, and compassion.
The six masterfully executed tales, reprinted here in the authoritative Constance Garnett translation, include ''The Darling,'' a poignant piece supporting the claim that life has no meaning without love; ''The Kiss,'' a fanciful confection recounting an officer's brief encounter with an unknown woman; as well as ''Anna on the Neck,'' ''The Man in a Case,'' ''The Malefactor,'' and the title story.
As noted by author John Barth, ''Chekhov is a superb anatomist of the human heart and an utter master of his literary means. The details of scene and behavior, the emotions registered — seldom bravura, typically muted and complex, often as surprising to the characters themselves as to the reader but always right — move, astonish, and delight us line after line, story after story.''
