THE BLACK MONK
THE KISS
THE STEPPE
By Anton Tchekhoff
Translated from the Russian by R. E. C. Long and Adeline Lister Kaye
Tchekhoff is regarded in his own country as the most talented of the younger Russian writers. Tolstoy has compared him to De Maupassant. His writings have gone through numberless editions in Russia, but two of the above volumes are translated into English for the first time.
His art is noted for its simplicity, shades of psychological insight and subtle humor. In his stories is that spirit of permanence which lives mainly in the Past and the Future, and so truly represents the spirit of Russia.
“Tchekhoff is a true impressionist in the large sense of the word. His aim is less to divert by a tale, than to plunge one body and soul into a given environment.”
