The Bishop And Other Stories
The Bishop And Other Stories
A collection of short stories by a master of the genre, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, who was able to tell, capaciously and vividly, about life, to reveal the paradoxes, forming its principal essence.
Being one of the most widely known authors of nineteenth-century Russian literature, Chekhov is best remembered today primarily on his plays. However, his short stories are of great success at all times. The author deals with serious social and moral questions, avoiding giving answers. His innovations in the poetics of short prose fiction served as models for the finest American and European short-story writers throughout the twentieth century. The book includes The Bishop – a story of finding of the lost ties with people and God, The Letter, Easter Eve, A Nightmare, The Murder, Uprooted, and The Steppe.
