Features: This volume includes twenty-one short stories written by Chekhov during his late creative period from 1896 to 1903. The Cherry Orchard depicts the protagonist's fear of engaging with reality and new things, his rigid adherence to government decrees, and satirizes the reactionary era that fostered such a distorted personality. The Lady with the Dog narrates the story of two truly in love individuals who, in a society filled with hypocrisy and pretense, are like caged birds separated and unable to be together.
