Chekhov, Anton: Love, and Other Stories. v1 10 Apr 2017
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.
This is the thirteen and last collection of translations by Constance Garnett. Many of the stories are satirical, though the second and longest story is a tale of seduction and betrayal, and weltschmerz. The short stories included in this ebook are: Love, Lights, A Story Without an End, Mari d'elle, A Living Chattel, The Doctor, Too Early, The Cossack, Aborigines, An Inquiry, Martyrs, The Lion and the Sun, A Daughter of Albion, Choristers, Nerves, A Work of Art, A Joke, A Country Cottage, A Blunder, Fat and Thin, The Death of a Government Clerk, A Pink Stocking, and At a Summer Villa. The source text was taken from 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.
