Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) was an internationally renowned writer, poet, playwright, physician, and public figure. This edition includes forty-four of his stories, different in size and content, but united by the skill of the writer and the talent of the artists who illustrated them. The drawings to the texts of the collection were made by Kukryniksy. Under this pseudonym created members of the Academy of Arts of the USSR, people's artists Mikhail Vasilyevich Kupriyanov (1903-1991), Porfiry Nikitich Krylov (1902-1990) and Nikolai Alexandrovich Sokolov (1903-2000).
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is known all over the world as a talented playwright, his stage plays invariably gather full halls in various countries of the world. However, his writing began with feuilletons and short stories. At that time, Chekhov, the grandson of a serf peasant and future classic of world literature, became known to the reading public as Antosha Chekhonte. He began to write while still at Taganrog Gymnasium, from which he graduated in 1879. In the same year Chekhov left his native Taganrog and became a student of the medical faculty at Moscow University. At the end of the same year, 1879, Chekhov made his writing debut. In the following years, the number of his small literary masterpieces grew to several hundred. According to the writer himself in those days he sometimes wrote a story a day. And although a whole epoch in which the heroes of young Chekhov live and act has passed into the past, there is hardly a person these days who will be indifferent to these funny miniatures. They invariably evoke a smile.
