Collected works of Chekhov's novelA*volume 8

About 15 short and medium-length novels composed by Cheknov in 1889-1892 are collected in this volume, reflecting the tendency of Cheknov denying Tolstoy's asceticism and no resistance. Meanwhile, this effectively accuses the brutality and cruelty of the tsarist autocracy. In the Poprignunyas, the funny and sad thought of a woman for vanity are vividly shown. Ward No.6 is mature marks of thought for Cheknov. As depicted in the novel, under the autocratic system of Russia, anyone especially people with insights, tending to think and outspoken people are likely to be framed and arrested at any time or treated as crazy and put into the prison-like Ward No.6. In Ward No.6, Cheknov successfully did make the society recognize itself and fear itself.
