People in different classes of 19th century Russian society interact, and none of them are the good guy. Still, a touch of romanticism pervades. Chekov haunts me. On rereading this five years after the first read, I'm struck by how often medical complaints, the plight of the prols, and romance/love come up. After knowing more Russians, this makes sense. I love how he goes in the heads of multiple characters in a story but still retains a strong overall POV. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A practising doctor, Chekhov was an acute observer of Russian society's moral, as well as physical sickness. Joining The Russian Master, Ward Number Six, and A Woman's Kingdom in the World's Classics series, this collection, including `The Party', `After the Theatre', and `A Case History',again poses his recurrent literary quandary of whether to moralize, hoping to reform these ailments, or simply to entertain. The solution is to be found in the stories themselves, which, like his plays, offer no easy answers, but pinpoint the anguish, tedium, or downright evil of his characters withan irony that makes them both poignant and truthful.
