[AlexBell]

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

The Schoolmaster and Other Stories contains 29 short stories. The first four deal with death and bereavement; the others range from satirical to farcical and include a scathing portrayal of a professional writer.

The Public, A Tripping Tongue, Overdoing It, The Orator, Malingerers, In the Graveyard, Hush!, In a Hotel, and In a Strange Land.

I have silently corrected typos, curled quotes, replaced italics, diacritics, and scene breaks, used British English, and made changes to spelling and hyphenation using oxforddictionaries.com.</p>
