The Steppe and Other Stories 1887-91 is a collection that reveals Anton Chekhov s evolution from a novice writer to a master of short narrative form. This Penguin Classics edition is translated by Ronald Wilks with an introduction by Donald Rayfield.This collection of Chekhov s finest early writing is headlined by The Steppe , which established his reputation, telling the unforgettable tale of a boy s journey to a new school in Kiev, travelling through majestic landscapes towards an unknown destiny. Gusev depicts an ocean voyage, where the sea takes on a terrifying, primeval power; The Kiss portrays a shy soldier s failed romantic encounter; and in The Duel two men s enmity ends in farce. Haunting and highly atmospheric, all the stories in this volume show a writer emerging from the shadow of his masters - great Russian writers such as Leo Tolstoy, Ivan Turgenev and Nikolai Gogol - and discovering his own voice. They also illustrate Chekhov s genius for evoking the natural world and exploring inner lives.This is the first of three chronological volumes of Chekhov s short stories in Penguin Classics. Ronald Wilks s delicate translation is accompanied by a chronology and explanatory notes. This edition also contains an introduction and annotated bibliography by internationally renowned Chekhov scholar Donald Rayfield.Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was born in Taganrog, a port on the sea of Azov. In 1879 he travelled to Moscow, where he entered the medical faculty of the university, graduating in 1884. During his university years, he supported his family by contributing humorous stories and sketches to magazines. He published his first volume of stories, Motley Tales, in 1886, and a year later his second volume In the Twilight, for which he received the Pushkin Prize. Today his plays, including Uncle Vanya , The Seagull , and The Cherry Orchard are recognised as masterpieces the world over.If you enjoyed The Steppe, you might like Chekhov s The Lady with the Little Dog and Other Stories, also available in Penguin Classics.

When Gregor Samsa woke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed into some kind of monstrous vermin. With a bewildering blend of the everyday and the fantastical, Kafka thus begins his most famous short story, The Metamorphosis. A commercial traveller is unexpectedly freed from his dreary job by his inexplicable transformation into an insect, which drastically alters his relationship with his family. Kafka considered publishing it with two of the stories included here in a volume to be called Punishments. The Judgement also concerns family tensions, when a power struggle between father and son ends with the father passing an enigmatic judgement on the helpless son. The third story, In the Penal Colony, explores questions of power, justice, punishment, and the meaning of pain in a colonial setting. These three stories are flanked by two very different works. Meditation, the first book Kafka published, consists of light, whimsical, often poignant mood-pictures, while in the autobiographical Letter to his Father, Kafka analyses his difficult relationship in forensic and devastating detail. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Set in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast at the end of the nineteenth century, The Awakening centers on Edna Pontellier, an apparently happy twenty-eight-year-old wife and mother of two. But when a summer romance reignites Edna’s appetite for life, she discovers that her conventional family, friends, and surroundings do not make her happy. Boldly—and to the astonishment of her husband and the consternation of New Orleans society—Edna begins to discover the joys of solitude, creative expression, and erotic freedom. A scandal and a shock to readers when it was first published in 1899, The Awakening remains a daring portrayal of a woman rejecting domesticity in favor of her own happiness and self-expression. This edition includes some of Chopin’s most studied short stories, including “Desiree’s Baby,” “A Pair of Silk Stockings,” and “The Story of an Hour.”

To all outside appearances, Edna Pontellier is a respectable married woman living in New Orleans with her fond, indulgent husband and her two young sons. Beneath Edna’s smooth, graceful face, however, lurks a woman of passion, a woman who will not—or simply cannot—efface herself in the role that her husband expects of her: an angelic being who reveres him, dotes on their children, and obediently erases her individuality in service to the family’s happiness. But one lazy summer vacation and an apparently harmless infatuation will push Edna beyond this quiet, settled life, placing her directly at odds with society’s expectations of what a woman should be. This volume features additional short stories, including works that wrestled with such topics as racial passing, in “Désirée’s Baby,” infidelity, in “A Respectable Woman,” and queer attraction, in “Fedora.”

Audiokniha: „Jsou ženy, které ne vlastní vinou přivolávají neštěstí… Píše se rok 1830. Po náhlé smrti bratrance Ambrože, jenž mu byl opatrovníkem i rádcem, je čtyřiadvacetiletý Filip Ashley na cornwallské panství sám. I když ne docela. Zakrátko z daleké Florencie přicestuje poloviční Italka, se kterou se jeho vychovatel před osudnou nemocí narychlo oženil, a prosí o podporu, jelikož jí v postavení nezaopatřené vdovy nic jiného nezbývá. Svědomí Filipovi velí příbuzné pomoct, byť se mu ani trochu nechce. Během osmi měsíců zbývajících do jeho právní zletilosti se však mladíkův vztah k sestřence Rachel změní. Samotářský hoch, pobývající až dosud v izolaci od nástrah velkého světa, předvede veletoč a projeví až pošetilou vášeň k vdově, jejíž způsoby se tolik liší od upjatosti slečen ze sousedství. Jsou však ženy, jež přinášejí jen smůlu. Co když je to prostě tak, že city z Racheliny strany jsou povýtce zištné – neměl by se tudíž zamilovaný kolísající Filip radši řídit radami zesnulého Ambrože, který se ho v posledních dopisech snažil varovat? A proč italský právník tak podezřele tlačí na spěšné vyrovnání? První filmová adaptace děsivého melodramatu (1952, Henry Koster) o dopadech zištnosti a žárlivosti staví na výkonech Olivie de Haviland a Richarda Burtona. Čtyřdílnou minisérii podle této látky uvedla BBC v roce 1983 s Geraldine Chaplinovou. Nejnovější adaptaci (2017) natočil Roger Michell s Rachel Weiszovou v titulní úloze. „Jedinečná literární čarodějka. V oboru uhranutí a oklamání nemá autorka konkurenci.“ – The New York Times. „Napínavé, spletité a nepopiratelně živelné dílo, které dává moc do rukou ženám. (…) Od první stránky jsme zpátky v trudnomyslné atmosféře románu Živá a mrtvá, která je tak báječně živnou půdou pro vražedné pochyby. A sklíčenost korunovaná strachem o peníze, toť esence britské samoty, kterou autorka ve své době pojmenovala jako nikdo jiný.“ – The Guardian. „Nenapadá mě oblíbenější spisovatel, který by se tak vítězoslavně vzpíral typologickému zařazení. (…) Bude-li jedenadvacáté století věkem literatury žánrové, pak Daphne du Maurier udělala vše proto, aby to zastánce klasického středního literárního proudu bolelo jen pramálo.“ – Margaret Forsterová, autorka životopisu Daphne: The Secret Life of the Renowned Storyteller. „Měla tolik tváří, tolik převleků, a pojmenování contessa, kterého užíval sluha Giuseppe i Rainaldi, místo aby jí říkali paní Ashleyová, jí dodávalo jakýsi nimbus, který jsem zprvu nevnímal… Oči měla černé jako trnky, dravčí rysy jako Rainaldi a procházela těmi zatuchlými pokoji vily mlčky s vlnivými pohyby hada.“ – ukázka z textu.

Someone jolted my elbow as I drank and said, Je vous demande pardon, and as I moved to give him space he turned and stared at me and I at him, and I realised, with a strange sense of shock and fear and nausea all combined, that his face and voice were known to me too well. I was looking at myself. By chance, two men - one English, the other French - meet in a provincial railway station. Their resemblance is uncanny, and they spend the next few hours talking and drinking - until at last John, the Englishman, falls into a drunken stupor. It s to be his last carefree moment, for when he wakes, his French companion has stolen his identity and disappeared. So John steps into the Frenchman s shoes, and faces a variety of perplexing roles - as owner of a chateau, director of a failing business, head of a fractious family, and master of nothing.

The Lady with the Little Dog and Other Stories 1896-1904 is an enchanting collection of tales which showcase Anton Chekhov at the height of his power as a writer. This Penguin Classics edition is translated by Ronald Wilks with an introduction by Paul Debreczeny.In the final years of his life, Chekhov produced some of the stories that rank among his masterpieces, and some of the most highly-regarded works in Russian literature. The poignant The Lady with the Little Dog and About Love examine the nature of love outside of marriage - its romantic idealism and the fear of disillusionment. And in stories such as Peasants , The House with the Mezzanine and My Life Chekhov paints a vivid picture of the conditions of the poor and of their powerlessness in the face of exploitation and hardship. With the works collected here, Chekhov moved away from the realism of his earlier tales - developing a broader range of characters and subject matter, while forging the spare minimalist style that would inspire such modern short-story writers as Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner.Ronald Wilks s translation is accompanied by an introduction in which Paul Debreczeny discusses the themes that Chekhov adopted in his mature work. This edition also includes a publishing history and notes for each story, a chronology and further reading.Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was born in Taganrog, a port on the sea of Azov. In 1879 he travelled to Moscow, where he entered the medical faculty of the university, graduating in 1884. During his university years, he supported his family by contributing humorous stories and sketches to magazines. He published his first volume of stories, Motley Tales, in 1886, and a year later his second volume In the Twilight, for which he received the Pushkin Prize. Today his plays, including Uncle Vanya, The Seagull, and The Cherry Orchard are recognised as masterpieces the world over.
