Collected works of Chekhov's novelA*volume 10

About 21 short and medium-length novels composed by Cheknov in 1896-1903 are collected in this volume. These works reflect distinctive democratic tendencies and strong moral passion, with great art generalizing and deeply exposes various unreasonable phenomenon in real life. The classic short novel The Man in a Case describes Prokofy, a teacher of Greek who dares not to contact the real life, fears new things and follows the beaten track. The protagonist was offered with two pet phrases, which vividly showed the character of the man in a case, mocking and blamed the abnormal personality of Prokofy and the times causing such character. In The Lady with the Dog, a pair of affectionate lovers suffered insult and pains. They are just like a pair of birds in a case in this society full of hypocrisy and fake. There are no ways out for them. Readers are moved by the novel. Just like Gorky said, your short stories are really significant for people, arousing their dislike of drifting and half-dead living.
