Humorous Stories by Chekhov, Zoshchenko, Averchenko (set of 3 books)

«Humorous Stories by Chekhov, Zoshchenko, Averchenko (set of 3 books)» — a collection of three volumes of Russian classical prose about everyday scenes, awkward conversations, human self-confidence, and the clash with social conventions. In these texts, laughter arises from everyday misunderstandings, workplace conflicts, bourgeois habits, and attempts to appear more important, wiser, or more successful than one actually is. Anton Chekhov, Mikhail Zoshchenko, and Arkady Averchenko approach humor differently, but each is interested in human weaknesses, the oddities of everyday life, and the comedy of routine existence. The three separate books are united by a common theme: the funny helps to see character, era, and relationships between people more clearly.
