The Lady with the Dog and Other Stories
The Lady with the Dog and Other Stories collects nine of Anton Chekhov's stories in Constance Garnett's translation. The title story follows a married man and a married woman who begin a casual affair at Yalta and discover, to their dismay, that it has become the only real thing in their lives. The volume also contains The Black Monk, about a scholar visited by a phantom who tells him he is a genius; Ionitch, the portrait of a provincial doctor settling into fat and boredom; An Anonymous Story, a political thriller turned inward; and A Doctor's Visit, An Upheaval, The Head of the Family, Volodya and The Husband. Chekhov's manner is quiet, exact and without judgment, and his endings leave everything open. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
