THE TALES OF CHEKHOV

Lire eBook CONTES DE TCHEKHOV : AMOUR ET AUTRES HISTOIRES Par Anton Tchekhov avec eReader

While his popularity as a playwright has sometimes overshadowed his achievements in prose, the importance of Chekhov’s stories is now recognized by readers as well as by fellow authors. Their themes – alienation, the absurdity, and tragedy of human existence – have as much relevance today as when they were written, and these superb new translations capture their modernist spirit. Elusive and subtle, spare and unadorned, the stories in this selection are among Chekhov’s most poignant and lyrical.

I went into this collection expecting a lot because Chekhov is considered one of the best writers to have ever lived and his writing has been described to me as intelligent, witty, emotional, and unique. Since I can’t read Russian (although I am learning), I had to rely on a translation. Since I usually like OUP’s Oxford World’s Classics editions, I gave this one a go without much thought into the translator and I’ll admit that it was a mistake. Note to self: always look into which translations are recommended by other readers.

I don’t want to judge Chekhov’s stories harshly just because I didn’t enjoy the translation and, in the future, I’m hoping to compare this translation to another translation of Chekhov’s short stories – perhaps this one or this one, both of which have been recommended to me – but, for now, I’m just going to explain why I didn’t like this one.
