This is the most representative selection of Chekhov's early comic and serious stories available in one volume in English. This selection, including the pastoral comedy Romance with Double-Bass, the absurdist comedy The Death of a Civil Servant, the hauntingly lyrical Easter Night, and the chilling Let Me Sleep, to name a few, exemplifies the masterful range of the young Chekhov. Rapture -- The death of a civil servant -- Incident at law -- Fat and thin -- The daughter of Albion -- Oysters -- A dreadful night -- Minds in ferment -- The complaints book -- The chameleon -- The huntsman -- The malefactor -- A man of ideas -- Sergeant Prishibeyev -- The misfortune -- Romance with double-bass -- The witch -- Grisha -- Kids -- Revenge -- Easter night -- The little joke -- The objet d'Art -- The chorus-girl -- Dreams -- The orator -- Vanka -- Verochka -- A drama -- Typhus -- Notes from the journal of a quick-tempered man -- The reed-pipe -- The kiss -- No comment -- Let me sleep.
