Lady with Lapdog and Other Stories | Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

2 posts | 4 read

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov(1860-1904) may be likened to his contemporaries, the "pointilliste" painters. Piece by piece, episode by episode, character by character, he constructs in prose a survey of the human condition. as David Magarshack writes in his introduction, on reading these stories 'one gets the impression of holding life itself, like a fluttering bird, in one's cupped hands'.

LADY WITH LAPDOG | Anton Chekhov

#SundayMorningReading not sure there is any more room on my lap. 1 book, 1 7 yo boy, 1 switch, and 2 small dogs. They are all keeping me warm in the cold weather.

kspenmoll What a juggler! One thing about winter that is wonderful is all the snuggling that happens! Enjoy! 6y

MicrobeMom @kspenmoll yes it does! ❤️♥️ 6y

Lady with Lapdog and Other Stories | Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

These got better as they went along which is just what it said in the introduction but which I kinda refused to believe. Not sure why it's taken me so long to read Chekhov and based on these I will probably read more. These stories are delicate but clear-sighted, human, fragile and melancholy. The best of these were perfectly wonderful.

Lindy Nice review. 😊 8y
