Description
Ivan Shamokhin, on a steamer for Sevastopol, tells of Ariadne: style, coldness, and a love that spent him. Chekhov’s title story sits with The Kiss, A Problem, Terror, Anna on the Neck, Not Wanted, Typhus, Misfortune, and A Trifle from Life — rooms where feeling arrives too large for the furniture. A collection of the human comedy at its least consoling. Read it for the talk on the steamer and for the smaller knives in the other tales: a kiss at a party, a forged note, a woman choking on a necklace of success.
