Anton Chekhov Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

The second unique collection of Constance Garnett's translations of Chekhov's short fiction, selected for riverrun editions by Janet Malcolm

В книгу вошли самые известные рассказы А.П. Чехова: «Каштанка», «Хамелеон», «Ванька», «Человек в футляре», «Палата № 6», «Дама с собачкой» и другие, изучение которых предусмотрено школьной программой. Рассказы Чехова коротки, но за видимой простотой в них скрыты глубина смысла и сложность художественного построения. Лаконичность, потрясающий юмор, ирония и богатое содержание делают их уникальными и не имеющими аналогов в мировой литературе. Максим Горький писал: «Никто не понимал так ясно и тонко, как Антон Чехов, трагизм мелочей жизни, никто до него не умел так беспощадно правдиво нарисовать людям позорную и тоскливую картину их жизни в тусклом хаосе мещанской обыденщины».
