Many regard Anton Chekhov as the most outstanding short story writers. Here are twelve stories, from the brightly comic to the overtly tragic; each full of the sharpest observations of personality and situation, and with implications beyond their brief form: the dying actor, the children playing a game, the cabman with his tragedy, the orator’s mistake and, perhaps most richly of all, a family laid bare in In The Ravine. Expert reader Kenneth Branagh uses his natural talent for characterization to bring the stories to life.
