Anton Chekhov was one of the world's most accomplished short-story writers and this new collection displays the breadth and variety of his genius.
Chekhov had an incomparable ability to write about the seemingly every day with insight, humour and compassion. His characters are brilliantly drawn, from the church warden who's convinced his wife's a witch because strangers arrive on the doorstep whenever there's a storm, to the wronged wife who confronts her husband's chorus-girl lover, to the melancholy school teacher who imagines how her life might have been.
In the Ravine & Other Stories are translated by Constance Garnett and selected and introduced by Paul Bailey.

Anton Chekhov was born in 1860 in Southern Russia and moved to Moscow to study medicine. Whilst at university he sold short stories and sketches to magazines to raise money to support his family. His success and acclaim grew as both a writer of fiction and of plays whilst he continued to practice medicine. Ill health forced him to move from his country estate near Moscow to Yalta where he wrote some of his most famous work. And it was there that he married actress Olga Knipper. He died from tuberculosis in 1904.
Constance Garnett (1861 - 1946) was one of the first translators to bring English language translations of Tolstoy Dostoyevsky and Chekhov to a wide readership.
