Stories

The creativity of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is multifaceted and diverse. Humorous short stories are interspersed with reflections on solitude and social inequality. The author ridicules dishonest officials, ironizes over human greed and laziness, and sadly observes the small children who... are already forced to work. “In Chekhov's stories, there is nothing that does not exist in reality. The terrible power of his talent lies precisely in the fact that he never invents anything from himself, does not depict what does not exist in the world...” — this is how the writer Maxim Gorky characterized the author's work. The stories are accompanied by illustrations from the creative group of satirical artists Kukryniksy
