The Witch and Other Stories was the sixth collection of Chekhov's short stories translated and assembled by Constance Garnett. Many of the 15 stories reveal the dreadful poverty, injustice, and class distinctions in the Russia of his time, and the relationships within families and small communities.
The short stories included in this ebook are: The Witch, Peasant Wives, The Post, The New Villa, Dreams, The Pipe, Agafya, At Christmas Time, Gusev, The Student, In the Ravine, The Huntsman, Happiness, A Malefactor, and Peasants.
The text for this ebook was taken from The University of Adelaide ebook library, and checked against other editions. I have silently corrected typos, curled quotes, replaced italics and diacritics, used British English, and made changes to spelling and hyphenation using oxforddictionaries.com.
The cover is based on the 1898 portrait by Osip Bras found in Wikimedia.
