Selected short stories -1896-1904- translated by Constance Garnett 201 Stories by Anton Chekhov About Anton Chekhov: One of Russia's greatest writers, Chekhov began his career writing jokes and anecdotes for popular magazines to support himself while he studied to become a doctor. Between 1888 and his death he single-handedly revolutionized both the drama and the short story. Near the end of his life he married an actress, Olga Knipper. He died from tuberculosis in 1904, age 44. About this project: Constance Garnett translated and published 13 volumes of Chekhov stories in the years 1916-1922. Unfortunately, the order of the stories is almost random, and in the last volume Mrs. Garnett stated: "I regret that it is impossible to obtain the necessary information for a chronological list of all Tchehov's works." This site presents all 201 stories in the order of their publication in Russia. http://www.eldritchpress.org/ac/jr/ "Reading Chekhov was just like the angels singing to me." -- Eudora Welty, 1977 1896-1904 183 - An Artist's Story 184 - My Life 185 - Peasants 186 - The Petchenyeg 187 - At Home 188 - The Schoolmistress 189 - The Man in a Case 190 - Gooseberries 191 - About Love 192 - Ionitch 193 - A Doctor's Visit 194 - The Darling 195 - The New Villa 196 - On Official Duty 197 - The Lady with a Dog 198 - At Christmas Time 199 - In the Ravine 200 - The Bishop 201 - Betrothed
