The Schoolmistress

and Other Stories

About this book

Experience life and hardships in turn-of-the-century Russia with this collection of provocative stories by one of the greatest writers of all time.

Anton Chekhov captures life in late-nineteenth-century Russia with these evocative tales. For example, in "The Schoolmistress, " a hard-working, underpaid schoolteacher contemplates dating a man she knows is terrible for her. In "A Nervous Breakdown, " an idealistic young law student cannot handle what he witnesses after a night in Moscow's red light district.

The author of such plays as The Cherry Orchard and Uncle Vanya, Anton Chekhov was also a prolific writer of short stories. His style, as present in this collection, will remind readers of other great nineteenth-century authors such as Guy de Maupassant.
