"Brevity is the soul of wit" is Anton Pavlovich Chekhov's creative credo and, at the same time, one of his most famous aphorisms. "If a gun hangs on the stage in the first act, it must go off in the third or fourth," "a wise man loves to learn, but a fool loves to teach," "to be on the safe side," "to grandfather in the village"—all these sayings have become firmly established and have been repeated for over a hundred years. Many of Chekhov's famous quotes belong to his characters ("They want to show off their education"; "in Greece there is everything," "as for what to eat"), but many apt witticisms, wise sayings, and life observations are contained in the writer's letters and notebooks. This edition contains the most striking statements of A.P. Chekhov, an outstanding master of words.
