Description
Sm. 8vo., First Edition thus; original green cloth, upper board and backstrip framed and lettered in blind, gilt back, a near fine copy. Collects twenty-two short stories, published as The Tales of Tchehov Vol. X but complete in itself. Chekhov's short stories, widely regarded as among the finest written, first came to the attention of English readers when two small selections were translated by Long in the early years of the twentieth century. The full scope of his work in this genre was not appreciated until publication of Constance Garnett's monumental collection of thirteen volumes (1916-1922) of which the present volume forms part. SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Meister 427.
