The Wife, and Other Stories

"The Wife and Other Stories" is a collection of short stories by the Russian writer Anton Checkhov. He was famous for his deep psychologic writing on different sides of the Russian society of the late 19th century, with its poverty, social turbulence, and new emerging views on the essence of state and tzarism. Many of his works deal with the problems of family relations, adultery, unhappy love, and conflicts between children and parents.
