Description
|
|
|
|
Admired and cherished by readers around the world, the short stories of Anton Chekhov were introduced to the English-speaking world with Constance Garnett's 13-volume Tales of Chekhov, originally published in 1929 and heralded as one of the finest Chekhov translations in print. This handsome edition reissues the full Garnett set in a glossy box with a continuous illustration—Vasily Ivanovich Surikov's The Taking of the Snow Fortress—across the spines. Here are both familiar masterpieces ("The Kiss," "The Darling," and "The Lady with the Dog") and brilliant lesser-known tales like "A Blunder," "Hush," and "Champagne." The entire collection is introduced by Richard Ford's perceptive essay "Why We Like Chekhov," while each individual volume includes a brief reminiscence on the meaning of Chekhov from such authors as Nadine Gordimer, Susan Sontag, Harold Brodkey, Cynthia Ozick, and Russell Banks.
