This captivating collection of short stories, selected from works written during Chekhov's prolific period, displays those qualities for which the Russian author and playwright is famous: a natural aptitude for detail, dialogue, humor, and compassion.The six masterfully executed tales, reprinted here in the authoritative Constance Garnett translation, include ""The Darling,"" a poignant piece supporting the claim that life has no meaning without love; ""The Kiss,"" a fanciful confection recounting an officer's brief encounter with an unknown woman; as well as ""Anna on the Neck,"" ""The Man in a Case,"" ""The Malefactor,"" and the title story.As noted by author John Barth, ""Chekhov is a superb anatomist of the human heart and an utter master of his literary means. The details of scene and behavior, the emotions registered - seldom bravura, typically muted and complex, often as surprising to the characters themselves as to the reader but always right - move, astonish, and delight us line after line, story after story.""
