Short Fiction Chekhov, Anton: The Bishop and Other Stories. v1, 2 Feb 2017

[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 Bishop and Other Stories was the seventh collection of Chekhov's short stories translated and assembled by Constance Garnett. The six short stories and one novella it contains reveal the dreadful poverty, injustice, and class distinctions in the Russia of his time, and have a religious background.

The short stories included in this ebook are: The Bishop, The Letter, Easter Eve, A Nightmare, The Murder, and Uprooted, and The Steppe is the novella

The text for this ebook was taken from The University of Adelaide ebook library, and checked against the 1919 Macmillan Company edition on the Internet Archive at https://archive.org/details/bishopotherstori00chek. 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.
