With an Introduction and Notes by Joe Andrew, Professor of Russian Literature, Keele University

Anton Chekhov is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of short stories. He constructs stories where action and drama are implied rather than described openly, and which leave much to the reader's imagination.
This collection contains some of the most important of his earliest and shortest comic sketches, as well as examples of his great, mature works. Throughout, the doctor-turned-writer displays compassion for human suffering and misfortune, but is always able to see the comical, even farcical aspects of the human condition.

4.5 (Muito bom)

Primeiro contato com literatura russa

Foi uma experiência melhor do que eu imaginei que seria.
A escrita não é muito difícil, como é a fama dos livros russos.
Muitas das histórias são bem cruéis, mas mantendo fidelidade à cultura do país, o que achei muito interessante.
Gostei.
