«Nueve cuentos sin final feliz» is the collection of nine short stories by Anton Chekhov, published by Editorial Sirpus in paperback (124 pages, in Spanish).
The nine stories portray everyday life in Russia before 1905, with ordinary characters and seemingly banal gestures that hide emotions and unconfessed secrets. Chekhov, a renovator of the modern short story, renounces flashy endings and lets the unsaid resonate with the reader.
Published in Barcelona in 2002, it is the fourth volume of the Benteveo collection (large print) and includes a prologue by Esperanza Ortega and a translation from Russian by E. Podgursky and A. Aguilar.
Thanks to its large type, it is suitable for literature students and readers of Russian classics.
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."
