The Bishop 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 a departure from conventional story structures. Balancing his dual life as a doctor and writer, he created four classic plays and numerous esteemed short stories. Despite initially renouncing the theatre after the poor reception of The Seagull, his works were later celebrated through productions by the Moscow Art Theatre, which showcased his masterpieces like Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, and The Cherry Orchard.
