The Man in a Case. Selected Works

A remarkable stylist, subtle psychologist, master of subtext, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov had a tremendous impact on the development of world literature. He was always interested in the most ordinary people in their everyday deeds and concerns, telling stories about their... lives, dreams, and hopes for the future without prophecy and moralizing, allowing his readers the right to draw their own conclusions. The stories and plays written in the last quarter of the 19th century continue to provoke interest worldwide, and prose writers and playwrights acknowledge that it was Chekhov who opened up unprecedented possibilities for the art of words.
«Reading Chekhov, I laugh, I rejoice, I admire… Here is the definition of talent» (L.N. Tolstoy).
«I wholeheartedly advise you to often glance at Chekhov's books… to, forgetting yourself, experience these fairy-tale dreams as they were envisioned» (V.V. Nabokov).
«One can revere the mind of Tolstoy. Admire the elegance of Pushkin. Appreciate the moral quests of Dostoevsky. The humor of Gogol. And so on. However, one wants to be only like Chekhov» (Sergey Dovlatov).
