Short Stories by Anton Chekhov as translated by Constance Garnett and edited by Max Bollinger provides the text to the fourteen stories on the Audio CD’s 1 to 3 of Chekhov’s Short Stories as very ably narrated by Max Bollinger. My favourite stories in this collection are The Helpmate and About Truth both of which are very witty. The other stories are typically Chekhovian in that they tend to start in the middle and have inconclusive endings. For this reason I find them dissatisfying and unmemorable, in the main, although they are wonderfully well-written and cleverly observed slices of life. This is yet another labour of love by Max Bollinger in bringing out this collection to supplement his growing library of Chekhov and Turgenev material. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A timeless observation of the human condition from one of the best story writers in the history of world literature. Chekhov's characteristic mix of humour and poignancy united by the themes of truth, freedom, happiness and love in the 14 story collection presented in this book.

As Max Bollinger states in the introduction, the stories point out problems in the lives of the characters, but don't offer solutions. What they offer is characters with problems that we can identify with, that are echoed in our lives and the lives of our friends and loved ones. This alone makes them worth searching out and reading.
