The Duel by Anton Chekhov

5.0

This novella is really beautiful. Chekhov represents ideologies and attitude embodies in flawed people. I identified with them because Chekhov describes them through their actions and bodily movements as much as their debates and monoloques. I was startled by how much I empathized with Laevsky, who is weak but thinks himself better than others because of his education. This translation was a joy to read.
