Anton Chekhov | Small Fry and Other Stories

  • This new translation by critically acclaimed translator Stephen Pimenoff is a unique collection of Chekhov’s stories, some of which have never been translated before into English.

    Universally acclaimed as the master of the short-story form, Anton Chekhov began his literary career as the author of brief tales and vignettes of Russian life when he was still a young medical student. Later rejected by the writer in the same self-effacing way in which he repudiated some of his most celebrated works, the stories in this collection not only testify to the early promise of his genius but deserve to be appreciated for their lapidary vividness and their intrinsic stylistic quality.

    Mostly dealing with the lives of downtrodden “little” men and low-ranking civil servants as they navigate the corruption and malpractice of Russian officialdom, this volume – here presented in Stephen Pimenoff’s lively new translation – bristles with wit and humor, and is tinged by that understated note of melancholy and lyricism that is a trademark of Chekhov’s writing.
