Selected short stories -1882-1887- 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 002 - Joy 006 - The Death of a Government Clerk 010 - Fat and Thin 018 - A Chameleon 030 - The Huntsman 031 - A Malefactor 038 - Sorrow 044 - Children 045 - Misery 058 - Easter Eve 088 - Dreams 095 - Vanka 121 - Happiness 143 - Boys 144 - Kashtanka
