    Children, and the Adults Who Miss Them

    by Anton Chekhov ...

    Stories of children and of the adults who fail to notice them: a boy of seven at a keyhole watching the kitchen, a nursemaid who has not slept in days, a runaway, a dog lost between two owners.

    Yalta, and What Follows It

    by Anton Chekhov ...
    Translated by Constance Garnett ...
    A banker on holiday in Yalta picks up a married woman with a small dog, expecting the usual resort affair, and finds he cannot go home from it. Chekhov practiced medicine throughout his career — he called it his lawful wife and literature his mistress — and brought a doctor's refusal to moralise to everything he wrote. Nothing is resolved in these stories, which is the point and the reason they ... Read more
