The Chorus Girl and Other Stories

More about the book

Chekhov's unique contribution to literature lies in his innovative use of the stream-of-consciousness technique and his departure from traditional story structures, which often impose moral conclusions. Despite his initial struggles with the theatre, his works, including The Seagull and Uncle Vanya, gained significant acclaim through the Moscow Art Theatre. Balancing his dual career as a doctor and writer, Chekhov's best short stories and plays remain influential, showcasing his mastery in blending realism with deep psychological insight.
