Kashtanka and Other Stories

Eleven stories by A. P. Chekhov under one cover, in a modern design by kaskva.
The dog Kashtanka lived in the house of a rude, temperamental carpenter until one day she got lost and ended up in the home of a kind-hearted circus performer. Now, in comfort and well-being, she is preparing for her first performance in the ring. But the heart of the loyal dog longs for her former life and beloved master…
The stories by A. P. Chekhov are masterfully crafted, subtle, and ironic, justly considered brilliant examples of short prose. With equal observance and understanding, Chekhov writes about touching naive children, about adults not devoid of weaknesses and flaws, and even about the funny but loyal mutt Kashtanka.
