The Kiss by Anton Chekhov
Dec. 31st, 2007 07:26 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
One of the greatest Russian writers, Chekov was both a brilliant dramatist and accomplished author of short fiction. Penguin publishes the widest range of his plays, letters and stories, including three new volumes of short fiction from which these two tales are taken. Offering a compelling insight into human nature, they describe the joy and sorrow found when two people come together with different expectations and desires.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
An interesting read and as good an introduction to Chekov's short stories as anything else.
