Most are very small bits of human behavior often very foolish ones. This . The first volume of stories seemed more significant to me, but this certainly added to my interest in the author, whom I hadn't read before. Reader was satisfactory and I thank him.
Unique stories
Lena Trout
Well read, thank you. This collection has led me to download other stories but Anton Checkov. Unique studies of short interactions of human life & the ironic twists & pain of being human.
Entertaining
Shelly
Great stories illuminating human foibles. Plenty of irony and dry humour. Read clearly in just the right tone.
Chekov at his best!

The short story collection of master story teller is heart warming, funny, melancholic, sorrowful, sentimental... all at once!! The narration is top notch. Thanks.

I loved it, except why do the short stories stop? I have to open the app up again. Otherwise love it.
