Chekhov, Anton: The Chorus Girl and Other Stories: v1, 8 Feb 2017.
Anton Chekhov was born in 1860, the grandson of a serf who had bought his own freedom, and died of tuberculosis in 1904, a renowned doctor, playright, writer of hundreds of short stories, and friend of Leo Tolstoy.
The Chorus Girl and Other Stories was the eighth collection of Chekhov's short stories translated and assembled by Constance Garnett. The eleven short stories and one novella it contains reveal the dreadful poverty, injustice, and class distinctions in the Russia of his time, and deal with the interaction and the barriers between people of different classes. The stories included in this ebook are: The Chorus Girl, Verotchka, My Life, At a Country House, A Father, On the Road, Rothschild's Fiddle, Ivan Matveyitch, Zinotchka, Bad Weather, A Gentleman Friend, and A Trivial Incident. The text for this ebook was taken from The University of Adelaide ebook library, and checked against the Chatto & Windus 1920 print version on the Internet Archive at https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.93619. I have silently corrected typos, curled quotes, replaced italics, diacritics, and scene breaks, used British English, and made changes to spelling and hyphenation using oxforddictionaries.com.
