description: Anton Pavlovich Chekhov may be best known for his plays, the staples of modern theatre; yet he was also a master of the short story, of which he wrote more than four hundred. Gorky termed these masterpieces of compression and precision "exquisite as cut glass;" a mlange of naturalism and symbolism draft his bleak landscapes where an upper class stifles in despair.
