Selected early short stories 1882-1885 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 1882-1885 001 - A Living Chattel 003 - At the Barber's 004 - An Enigmatic Nature 005 - A Classical Student 007 - The Trousseau 008 - A Daughter of Albion 009 - An Inquiry 011 - A Tragic Actor 012 - The Bird Market 013 - A Slander 014 - The Swedish Match 015 - Choristers 016 - The Album 017 - Minds in Ferment 019 - In the Graveyard 020 - Oysters 021 - The Marshal's Widow 022 - Small Fry 023 - In an Hotel 024 - Boots 025 - Nerves 026 - A Country Cottage 027 - Malingerers 028 - The Fish 029 - Gone Astray 032 - The Head of the Family 033 - A Dead Body 034 - The Cook's Wedding 035 - In a Strange Land 036 - Overdoing It 037 - Old Age 039 - Oh! the Public! 040 - Mari d'Elle 041 - The Looking-Glass
