The Lady with the Dog

Anton Chekhov, Anton Chekov и др.

The Lady with the Dog

In the final years of his prominent life, Chekhov moved away from the realism of his earlier tales, and developed a broader range of characters and subject matter, while forging the spare minimalist style that would inspire modern short-story writers such as Hemingway and Faulkner. The stories in this volume are indicative of this remarkable shift.

Forester challenged this portrayal calling Lawrence «The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation», and with his extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity...
