Product Description
Product Description
The diversity of stories in this collection is great, their psychological depth and philosophical richness even greater. Chekhov (1860-1904) composed most of the stories in the 1890s, although 'The Fiancee, ' written at the same time as his dramatic masterpiece, "The Cherry Orchard, " was not completed until 1903; 'The Fiancee' represents a turning point in Chekhov's career, with the high note of optimism and with its heroine, Nadya, 'a positive woman of action, ' who ultimately rejects philistine materialism for a life of hard work and self-denial.

The stories are all similar, but enjoyable.
24 July 2000
Format:Paperback
The basic plot line is simple and repeats itself in almost every single story, but each time the character development is unique and interesting. The characters seem very real and I often feel like I am reading about people I know. I find these short stories to be very captivating and I would recommend this book to anyone who appreciates a change from the usual long novel.
