Krátky popis
Old Arkhip sits every day by the roots of a wizened, hunchbacked
willow, fishing and exchanging whispered stories with the ancient
tree. One of these takes Arkhip three decades back in time, to a
quiet day in early spring when a strange encounter shook him
momentarily from the rural bliss in which he lived, catapulting him
into a world of crime, corruption, violence and murder. A
quintessential example of Chekhov’s artistry, ‘The Willow’ is here
accompanied by thirty-two other short stories – some of them never
or rarely translated into English – which are representative of the
three main phases of the author’s career: the short, light-hearted
pieces of the late 1880s, the darker, more pessimistic tales of his
maturity and the psychologically nuanced stories he wrote towards
the end of his life.Taken together, this collection is further
proof of Chekhov’s unparalleled skills as a practitioner of the
short-story genre.
