3 Tahun by Anton Chekhov
4.0
Three Years by Anton Chekhov is a thin book with strikingly deep-rooted messages.
Chekhov subscribes to satirical realism as not only a religion but an ethos of life, an invariable filter through which he cannot un-see the world. The contempt manifested in his characters often bleeds and blurs into contempt for his nation; it wouldn't be misguided to say that he wants readers to undergo a certain type of "punishment" while reading this book: longing, temperamental, emotional, suppression, whatever. I genuinely lament having put this book on my tbr for too long.
