Chekhov, Anton: The Duel and Other Stories. v1, 22 Nov 2016
 

Anton Chekhov was born in 1860, the grandson of a serf who had bought his own freedom. He died of tuberculosis in 1904, a renowned doctor, playright, writer of hundreds of short stories, and friend of Leo Tolstoy.

Some of his stories contain brief put-downs of his fellow Russian authors. Many of them expose the dreadfull poverty, injustice, and class distinctions in the Russia of his time. Each one is about emotional relationships between a man and a woman.

The stories included in this ebook are: The Duel, Excellent People, Mire, Neighbours, At Home, Expensive Lessons, The Princess, and The Chemist's Wife.
