Anton Chekhov, widely hailed as the supreme master of the short story, also wrote five works long enough to be called short novels. Here, brought together in one volume for the first time, in a masterly new translation by the award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky.The Steppe—the most lyrical of the five—is an account of a nine-year-old boy’s frightening journey by wagon train across the steppe of southern Russia. The Duel sets two decadent figures—a fanatical rationalist and a man of literary sensibility—on a collision course that ends in a series of surprising reversals. In The Story of an Unknown Man, a political radical spying on an important official by serving as valet to his son gradually discovers that his own terminal illness has changed his long-held priorities in startling ways. Three Years recounts a complex series of ironies in the personal life of a rich but passive Moscow merchant. In My Life, a man renounces wealth and social position for a life of manual labor.The resulting conflict between the moral simplicity of his ideals and the complex realities of human nature culminates in a brief apocalyptic vision that is unique in Chekhov’s work.(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) From the Hardcover edition.

At the heart of the ongoing debate about education and training for young people are two crucial questions: What defines an educated 19-year-old today? Are our inherited educational models adequate for all young people and the broader community's needs? This work addresses these questions based on five years of evidence from the Nuffield Review of 14-19 Education and Training, the most thorough investigation of this educational phase in decades. The authors, co-directors of the Review, offer a critical and comprehensive overview of 14-19 education and training, proposing necessary changes for the next decade and beyond. They acknowledge the progress made through government investments, collaboration among educational institutions, and the recognition of diverse qualifications. They highlight the creativity and dedication seen in many secondary classrooms, where efforts to support disadvantaged youth are commendable. However, they advocate for a radical transformation towards a broader educational vision that values practical and active learning, an assessment system that enhances rather than detracts from learning, respect for teachers' expertise, a unified qualification system for smoother transitions to higher education and employment, collaborative local learning systems, and a more reflective policy-making approach. This work is essential reading for anyone involved in or interested in secondary education in England and Wa

In the final years of his life, Chekhov had reached the height of his powers as a dramatist, and also produced some of the stories that rank among his masterpieces. The poignant �The Lady with the Little Dog� and �About Love� examine the nature of love outside of marriage � its romantic idealism and the fear of disillusionment. And in stories such as �Peasants�, �The House with the Mezzanine� and �My Life� Chekhov paints a vivid picture of the conditions of the poor and of their powerlessness in the face of exploitation and hardship. With the works collected here, Chekhov moved away from the realism of his earlier tales � developing a broader range of characters and subject matter, while forging the spare minimalist style that would inspire such modern short-story writers as Hemingway and Faulkner.

Chekhov's unique contribution to literature lies in his innovative use of the stream-of-consciousness technique and his departure from traditional story structures that emphasize moral conclusions.

His works, such as Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, and The Cherry Orchard, reflect a profound understanding of human nature and relationships, solidifying his status as a master of short stories and drama.

Uncle Vanya, derived in part from a reworking of the earlier The Wood Demon, was first performed in 1899 as the third of Chekhov's four dramatic masterpieces has been described as the least pleasant and most bitter of Chekhov's plays. Set in an almost closed private and provincial world, it essentially deals with waste, at a number of levels of plot and character, and with the pathetic futility of pointless labours and fruitless relationships.

Let the things that happen on stage be just as complex and yet just as simple as they are in life. For instance, people are having a meal, just having a meal, but at the same time their happiness is being created, or their lives are being smashed up." Thus Chekhov summed up the credo that finds expression in the subtle construction and electrically charged atmoshpere of his plays. In these portrayals of human beings trapped in a stultifying environment, victimized as much by their own weakness as by the greed of others, the most casual words and everday actions assume the import of acts of destiny. Tragedy is mingled with farce, protest wars with resignation, in a world that yields from its darkest despair a singular moral affirmation - an affirmation that stands as the final mark and measure of Chekhov's art. As Robert Brustein declares in the foreword to this edition: " ... in the modern theater ... there are none who bring the drama to a higher realization of its human role. -- Back cover
