Very different reading....Russian stories .

Nice book

The condition of the book was good and about the stories...I don't think qualify to review the stories !!

I grew up in the world of chekhov. He is the Best short story writer in my view. Specially his short story “Misery”. If you’re immensely sentimental like me you can feel sorrow, grief and loneliness in the very first line of that story in just a second…🥲

The book..The greatest short stories of Anton Chekhov ..contains a collection of his short stories. I am at a loss to identify the best one because all stories are vying for the best one.

Very nice short stories. Most importantly the translated narration is really great. All stories are from good old age from the 18th century. But still those are so interesting .
