Chekhov's psychological insight is on full display in these stories from his mature period. They demonstrate his mastery of the qualities that make all of his stories fascinating to read. ( ) I don't really get this sort of writing. I guess the idea is to paint a scene, a certain mood surrounding a certain type of personality or situation, but the result just depresses me. Descriptions of everyday misery I find hard to bear even when the situation is resolved, as in more standard stories or novels, but when all we are given is a snapshot of some unhappiness snipped out of time, the results just upset me too much. I think no more Chekhov for me. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la série éditorialeLittle Blue Books (24.2)
A selection of ten stories written when Chekhov had reached his maturity as a short storywriter, between 1887 and 1902. They show him as a master of compression and a probing analyst, unmasking the mediocrity, lack of ideals, and spiritual and physical inertia of his generation. In these grim pictures of peasant life, and telling portraits of men and women enmeshed in trivialities, in the finely observed, suffocating atmosphere of provincial towns with their pompous officials, frustrated, self-seeking wives, spineless husbands, Chekhov does not expound any system of morality, but leaves the reader to draw what conclusion he will.
