Love, and Other Stories
Love, and Other Stories is a volume of Anton Chekhov's short fiction in the translation by Constance Garnett, whose versions introduced him to English readers. It gathers more than twenty pieces, many from his early years as a writer of comic sketches, alongside longer and more reflective stories. In Love, a young husband looks back with irony on his courtship; Lights is a night conversation about pessimism and a past seduction; others include A Story Without an End, The Doctor, The Cossack, Aborigines, Martyrs, A Daughter of Albion, Nerves, A Work of Art, Fat and Thin and The Death of a Government Clerk. Funny, sad and acutely observed, they show the range of a master of the short story. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first story is free.
