Selected short stories -1888-1892- 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 1888-1892 146 - A Story Without a Title 147 - Sleepy 148 - The Steppe 149 - Lights 150 - The Beauties 151 - The Party 152 - A Nervous Breakdown 153 - The Shoemaker and the Devil 154 - The Bet 155 - The Princess 156 - A Dreary Story 157 - The Horse-Stealers 158 - Gusev 159 - Peasant Wives 160 - The Duel 161 - The Wife 162 - The Grasshopper 163 - After the Theatre 164 - In Exile 165 - Neighbours
