«La señora del perrito y otros cuentos» is the collection of short stories by Anton Chekhov, published by Alianza Editorial in hardback (249 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together ten stories that portray the daily life, hopes and disappointments of the middle class in tsarist Russia; among its characters are officials, doctors, small landowners and teachers. It includes «El amanuense», «Casa con desván» and «La señora del perrito», a story that addresses with psychological subtlety the relationship between a mature man and a young married woman.
Third volume in the «Tales of Chekhov» series, with selection and translation by Juan López-Morillas. Alianza Editorial published it in 2006 in its El Libro de Bolsillo collection, Literatura series.
Aimed at readers of classic Russian fiction and short stories, both those already familiar with Chekhov and those seeking a first approach to his work.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short story writer. Widely considered one of the greatest writers of all time, his career as a playwright produced four classics, and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. Chekhov was a physician by profession. "Medicine is my lawful wife," he once said, "and literature is my mistress."
