內容簡介

內容簡介 New translations of the greatest stories by the Russian master of the form.Without doubt one of the greatest observers of human nature in all its messy complexity, Chekhov's short stories are exquisite masterpieces in miniature. His work ranged from the light-hearted comic tales of his early years to some of the most achingly profound stories ever composed, and this variety of tone and temper is collected in this essential new collection. Chekhov wrote stories throughout his writing career, and this selection has been chosen from amongst his life's work, including many of his greatest works, alongside unfamiliar discoveries, all newly translated. From the masterpiece of minimalism 'The Beauties', to the beloved classic 'The Lady with the Little Dog', and from 'Rothschild's Fiddle' to bitterly funny 'A Living Chronicle', the stories collected here are the essential collection of Chekhov's greatest tales.

作者介紹

作者介紹 Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was born in Taganrog, Russia, the son of a grocer. While training as a physician he supported his family with his freelance writing, composing hundreds of short comic pieces under a pen name for local magazines. He went on to write major works of drama, including The Seagull, Uncle Vanya and The Cherry Orchard, but continued to write prize-winning short stories up until his death from tuberculosis at the age of 44.Translator Nicolas Pasternak Slater is the nephew of the great Russian novelist and translator Boris Pasternak. During his National Service he qualified as a Russian interpreter, then read Russian and German at Oxford. After a period working on computer translation in Milan, he changed direction, qualified as a doctor and worked as a consultant haematologist at St Thomas's Hospital, London. In 1998 he took early retirement from medical practice, and has been translating Russian literature ever since. His literary translations include Boris Pasternak's autobiographical essay People and Propositions, Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time, Pushkin's A Journey to Arzrum and Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich and other stories.
