Dark but beautiful.
Anton Chekov’s short stories although somewhat dark are filled with life lessons. The truth behind life’s facades paints the pictures in these well written stories.
A must for the serious, logic person. Leaving a long lasting impression.

Fine Tragicomedy
I loved the witty black-humoured short stories, especially ‘the duel’ and ‘oysters’.
Initially I was unsure about Stephen Fry’s reading style but I came to enjoy the fast pace and focus on the comedic aspects.
Unfortunately the recording was let down by the editing. There were only milliseconds between the poignant endings of the short stories and the beginning of the next, in some cases Stephen Fry didn’t even get to finish his final words!

The stories and the narrator deserve better
What a joy to listen to the world’s best narrator, reading Russia’s best short stories. Only.... the audio editing is excruciating.

Lovely, poignant stories. Excellent reading!
I loved the selection, but more stories could have been included. Not comprehensive enough. Chekov is still taught at Universities worldwide, so this can be a good recommendation for literature students to listen to on their way to Uni, for example.
