Features: This volume includes thirty-nine short stories written by Chekhov in 1885 and thirty-two short stories from 1886. Among them, "Sufferings" is a representative work of the author's lyrical psychological short story, as well as a leap in both thought and art in his early creative period. The story depicts the protagonist's horse driver's son dying tragically from illness, and the protagonist, overwhelmed with grief, has nowhere to vent his sorrow except to complain to his horse, reflecting the indifference of Tsarist Russia.
