Features: Chekhov is a world-renowned master of short stories, second only to Guy de Maupassant. Leo Tolstoy called him an "incomparable artist." Chekhov's creative career began with humorous short stories, and his famous works such as "The Death of a Government Clerk," "The Fat Man and the Thin Man," "The," and "The Man in the Iron Mask" have long been translated into Chinese and are well-known to readers in China. Among them, "The" and "The Man in the Iron Mask" have even been selected for middle school Chinese textbooks. This book selects 58 outstanding short stories by Chekhov, which either mock the corruption of the bureaucracy or satirize the awkwardness of life. They are both serious and humorous, full of wit and charm, making readers laugh out loud while also leaving them deeply contemplative.
