Short Stories by Anton Chekhov: Bk.2: Talent and Other Stories This is the second audio book in the series of Chekhov's Short Stories featuring 5 new stories:  Talent, Anyuta, The Helpmate, Ivan Matveyitch, Polinka. Read by Max Bollinger in English (unabridged).  Several stories in this new 65-min CD are accompanied by occasional piano music based on original  compositions by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, a distinguished Russian composer of Romantic era.    The selection of stories in this book represents Chekhov s early work which perhaps is not as well  known as some of his plays. The stories nevertheless possess unique potency and relevance to our modern  lives just as they did back in 19th century Russia when they first appeared in various Russian  publications. Chekhov himself described his work as comic satire: "All I wanted was to say honestly to people:  'Have a look at yourselves and see how bad and dreary your lives are!' The important thing is that people  should realize that, for when they do, they will most certainly create another and better life for  themselves. I will not live to see it, but I know that it will be quite different, quite unlike our  present life.  Chekhov was often criticized by prominent literary reviewers of the time for not providing readers  with an answer or ideas how these dreary lives can be improved. Of course Chekhov is not giving a direct  instruction or providing readers with a manual on how to live a life, but it is possible to find solutions  in his stories ? they appear between the lines for each reader. Resolutions are different for each person  and only each individual soul can find the right and most appropriate way in their life. Chekhov s own  response to this is well documented. He often insisted that the job of an artist was not to answer  questions, it was to ask them. Stories in this Audio Book 01 Talent  02 Anyuta 03 The Helpmate 04 Ivan Matveyitch 05 Polinka

<p>An audio book adaptation of Turgenev's story set on the outskirts of Moscow, in the house of an old widow. The story was written in 1854 by Ivan Turgenev, a great Russian novelists of the nineteenth century. Read in English (unabridged).\nTurgenev wrote Mumu with such vivid images and reflections of the state of the tsarist Russia that this piece together with his other stories was credited with having influenced public opinion in favour of the abolition of serfdom in 1861. Turgenev was the first of the great Russian novelists to win fame abroad. One of his great admirers was Henry James, who wrote that "Turgenev¿s merit of form is of the first order"</p>
