Selected Stories by Anton Chekhov

4.0

A comprehensive set of Chekhov short stories from the earliest to the latest, these are the typical fluid Pevear and Volokhonsky translations. Many of the stories are excellent, but I personally do not like Chekhov nearly as much as Pushkin, Gogol and Tolstoy. And I do not find his stories uniformly excellent so would prefer a shorter collection that focuses just on some of the classics (Ward 6, The Black Monk, The Lady and the Lapdog, etc.)
