- Synopsis
- This collection of Chekhov's stories show his variety of styles and tones. Some of his stories are humorous, farcical, optimistic, and lively, while others are pessimistic, displaying the cruelty, greed, stupidity, and unbearable sadness of life. Many of the stories show his social consciousness and desire to make the world a better place in which to live. According to Simmons who wrote the Forward to this collection, Chekhov's chief aim in his stories, might have been to portray the reality of life for as Chekhov wrote in his notebook "Man will become better only when you make him see what he is like."
