Chekhov, Anton: The Lady with the Dog and Other Stories. v1 2 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, playwright, 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. Almost every story is about emotional relationships between men and women. The short stories included in this ebook are: The Lady with the Dog, A Doctor's Visit, An Upheaval, Ionitch, The Head of the Family, The Black Monk, Volodya, An Anonymous Story, and The Husband. 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.

I suppose now isn't a good time to ask if you know of a French translation? edit: I found a copy here http://ebook-gratuit-francais.com/eb...nale-histoire/ The French go with the "Tchekhov" spelling. Last edited by Barty; 12-11-2016 at 02:25 PM. |

Thanks, Barty. Some English translations use the extra 'T' also.
