"Sensational news!" - the newspapers reported about A.P. Chekhov's trip to Sakhalin in 1890: the famous young writer unexpectedly even for his family went to the distant penal island.
The trip took eight months, the writer covered many thousands of miles by rail and on steamships, horses and boats, and almost died several times. But, contrary to the expectations of readers, Chekhov brought from Sakhalin not a novel, but a book, "Sakhalin Island". This book is both a travel essay and a comprehensive study of the unique history of the island and the fates of its inhabitants - the indigenous population and exiled convicts.

In addition to "Sakhalin Island", this edition includes the essays "From Siberia", stories written based on impressions from the trip, as well as selected letters from Chekhov to family and friends sent along the way.
