About this product

Product Information

Cuentos imprescindibles Casi al mismo titulo que el drama, el relato corto se ajusta al proyecto literario de Chejov: No he adquirido una perspectiva politica, ni filosofica ni religiosa sobre la vida... tengo que limitarme a las descripciones de como mis personajes aman, se casan, tienen hijos, hablan y se mueren. El genio de Chejov estalla en esas pinceladas, retazos de vida crepusculares, pesimistas, a veces ironicos y siempre lucidos, reflejo de una realidad que comienza a disolverse envuelta en su mediocridad y falta de aliento. De los mas de seiscientos relatos que escribio Chejov, esta seleccion de Richard Ford, autor del brillante prologo que la acompana, recoge veinte, entre los que podian faltar algus tan necesarios como el conmovedor La dama del perrito y el asfixiante El pabellon numero 6. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Of the two hundred stories that Anton Chekhov wrote, the twenty stories that appear in this extraordinary collection were personally chosen by Richard Ford--an accomplished storyteller in his own right. Included are the familiar masterpieces-- The Kiss,The Darling, and The Lady with the Dog --as well as several brilliant lesser-kwn tales such as A Blunder,Hush!, and Champagne. These stories, ordered from 1886 to 1899, are drawn from Chekhov's most fruitful years as a short-story writer. A truly balanced selection, they exhibit the qualities that make Chekhov one of the greatest fiction writers of all time: his gift for detail, dialogue, and humor; his emotional perception and compassion; and his understanding that life's most important moments are often the most overlooked. The reason we like Chekhov so much, w at our century's end, writes Ford in his perceptive introduction, is because his stories from the last century's end feel so modern to us, are so much of our own time and mind. Exquisitely translated by the rewned Constance Garnett, these stories present a wonderful opportunity to introduce yourself--or become reaquainted with--an artist whose genius and influence only increase with every passing generation.
