Product Description

Caryl Emerson, Princeton University
"Bartlett's Chekhov is a masterpiece of texture and rhythm. Not a false word anywhere."

Review
...outstanding translations of a selection of Chekhov's stories... (Robert Chandler, Literary Review )

Bartlett's Chekhov is a masterpiece of texture and rhythm. Not a false word anywhere. (Caryl Emerson, Princeton University )

Seventeen peerless examples of how much life you can put into a few pages of fiction if you have Chekhovs economical mind, his eyes and ears, his feel for comedy and his sense of humanity. Chekhov is better known for his plays. But these are small masterpieces of their own, in a revelatory new translation. (Economist )

5.0 out of 5 stars A very Entertaining collection, 4 Aug 2005
By John (Charleston, USA) - See all my reviews
This is one of the most enjoyable books I ever read. The odd characters made it all the more funny. Being a recent peruser of Russian books and having developed an interest in them, I am up and ready for more Russian stories. The stories are deep, witty and humorous in a classic way. The Usurper and Other Stories, Master Man and other Stories, Union Moujik-- are fine and hilarious books to read.
