    How is this book unique?Font adjustments & biography includedUnabridged (100% Original content)IllustratedAbout The Horse-Stealers and Other Stories by Anton ChekhovIt seems to be part of the human condition that a wall of glass separates one life from another. For Chekhov it did not exist. Though no Church has seen fit to canonize him, he was nevertheless a saint. The greatest of his stories are, no matter how many times reread, always an experience that strikes deep into the soul and produces an alteration there. The reader who has lived through "Ward No. 6" knows forever after that his own sanity is only provisional. As for those masterpieces, "The Looking-Glass," "The Horse-Stealers," "A Slander," "Gone Astray," "An Actor’s End," "In Trouble" [all included in this Vol. 10 of "The Tales of Chekhov" series], - where else do you see so clearly the difference between light and dark, or how dark darkness can be. ~~William Maxwell

    Anton Chekhov, Constance Garnett

    eBook (Digireads.com, April 1, 2011)
    Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was a master of the short story. The son of a former serf in southern Russia, he attended Moscow University to study medicine, writing short stories for periodicals in order to support his family. What began as a necessity became a legitimate career in 1886 when he was asked to write in St. Petersburg for the Novoye Vremya (New Times), owned by millionaire magnate Alexey Suvorin. Chekhov began paying more attention to his writing, revising and developing his own principles and conceptions of truth, for a time coming under the influence of Leo Tolstoy. As a result of his widespread popularity, Chekhov amassed a vast collection of short stories displaying an early use of stream-of-consciousness writing, as well as his powerful ideas concerning the individual, the tedium of life, and the beauty nature and humanity. This edition contains many stories, including "Ward No. 6," "The Looking-Glass," "The Beggar," "Darkness," "An Avenger," "A Happy Man," and "A Troublesome Visitor."
