Chekhov, Anton: The Party and Other Stories. v1, 24 Dec 2016
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.
Some of his stories contain brief put-downs of his fellow Russian authors. Many of them expose the dreadful poverty, injustice, and class distinctions in the Russia of his time. Each one is about emotional relationships between a man and a woman. The short stories included in this ebook are: The Party, Terror, A Woman's Kingdom, A Problem, The Kiss, 'Anna on the Neck', The Teacher of Literature, Not Wanted, Typhus, A Misfortune, and A Trifle from Life. The text for this ebook was taken from The University of Adelaide ebook library, and checked against the print version on the Internet Archive. 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.
