| 1 | The Chekhov Collection of Short Stories | Anton Chekhov |
| Whilst Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) is perhaps best for his plays such as Uncle Vanya and The Seagull, he was also a prolific author of short stories. In this exclusive collection, Audible presents six of his most-celebrated short stories, chosen and performed by Richard Armitage. Richard, whose interest in the work of Chekhov was sparked by his appearance as Astrov in a stage production of Uncle Vanya, also introduces the collection with a brief overview of each of the stories and his thoughts on why Chekhov’s short stories are not to be missed. The collection contains the following stories: 'Ward 6' In a mental asylum, a patient comes into conflict with a director of the institution. 'The Kiss' During a party, a man becomes infatuated by a woman who accidentally kisses him in the dark. 'Betrothed' A young woman strives to asset her independence by choosing education over an arranged marriage. 'The Black Monk' An ageing scholar experiences strange hallucinations. Is he a genius, or is he insane? 'Neighbours' A beautiful young woman subverts society expectations by going to live with her neighbour, an older, married man. 'The Student' A depressed young student has his spirits lifted by recounting an religious story to two strangers. |
