Summary

Family dynamic, psychological insight into relationships and romance are the central themes in this collection of Chekhov stories. These stories, full of insight into the lives of seemingly ordinary people, offer a rare opportunity to experience defining moments of lives.

Unhappy in his marriage, a Moscow banker, Dmitri Gurov, is vacationing in Yalta, Crimea, where he sees a young lady walking along the seafront with her small dog. They are soon engaged in an affair.

In another story we meet a successful literary critic and his sister, who are trying to keep their crumbling relationship going and a country family hoping to reestablish contact with their long-lost daughter.

This volume includes: 'Excellent People', 'At Christmas Time' and 'The Lady with The Dog'.

Read in English, unabridged.
