This well-loved copy of “Lady with Lapdog and Other Stories” by Anton Chekhov, translated by David Magarshack, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Russian master’s short fiction. Chekhov, a physician by trade, revolutionized the form with his understated yet profoundly insightful portrayals of ordinary lives. The title story, “The Lady with the Little Dog,” is a poignant tale of illicit love and the human yearning for connection, widely regarded as one of Chekhov’s finest works. This Penguin Classics edition brings together some of his most celebrated stories, including “The Darling,” a haunting exploration of identity, and “The Bishop,” a penetrating study of faith and hypocrisy. Despite its well-worn appearance, this copy invites readers to immerse themselves in Chekhov’s timeless narratives, which continue to resonate with their nuanced depictions of the human condition.
