Description
Unique collection of short stories
While at a party organized by the local landowner for the officers of his brigade, the shy and awkward Ryabovich is suddenly kissed by an unknown woman in a dark room. This unexpected, electrifying encounter, which he relives in his mind day after day, marks a turning point for Ryabovich, showing him that everything in life – joy, sorrow, hope – is equally pointless and subject to chance.

What writers influenced me as a young man? Chekhov! As a dramatist? Chekhov! As a story writer? Chekhov!

The virtue of this story is its completeness, its summoning of human feelings perfectly matched to the events that produce them.
