Short Fiction Chekhov, Anton: The Duel and Other Stories. v1, 26 Nov 2016

[AlexBell]

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.

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.
