Anton Chekhov was a Russian writer popular for his works that depict the country side landscape of Russia, dotted with trees and hills and mirror the minute details in real life, human psychology, human tendencies and emotions. This vivid book is a collection of short stories that fabricate common, everyday topics such as a lottery ticket, a bet, an album and many others in a way that the reader is engrossed in the book. Human psychology is portrayed very well in the stories- ' Excellent people', 'Bet', 'The lady with the lapdog', 'Love' etc. This volume contains the illustrations of blunt truth which the readers are aware of but are still compelled to get fascinated at the turning out of events. The reader is left with many imaginations as the stories do not conclude but leave a wide scope of conclusions. I loved the book though the language is the classic literary style which often bores today's generation. The arrangement of stories is done in a way that they have a certain flow- one making way for the next. It is a book which will surely give its readers some quality time.
