The Beauties: Essential Stories by Anton Chekhov

4.0

The Beauties is a wonderful short story collection, showcasing some of Anton Chekhov's best tales. I recognised a couple of the titles, but most of these were new to me; it was an absolute delight, too, to reread 'The Lady and The Little Dog'. Chekhov's writing is beautiful, particularly with regard to the descriptions which he gives of Russia. Engrossing and engaging, The Beauties is a must for anyone who is already a fan of the great master's work, or who wants to become acquainted with it.
