Sneak Peak


'IT was said that a new person had appeared on the sea-front: a lady with a little dog. Dmitri Dmitritch Gurov, who had by then been a fortnight at Yalta, and so was fairly at home there, had begun to take an interest in new arrivals. Sitting in Verney's pavilion, he saw, walking on the sea-front, a fair-haired young lady of medium height, wearing a beret; a white Pomeranian dog was running behind her.'


About the Author


Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), a Russian playwright and short story writer, is  considered to be one of the greatest writers of all time. He was a key figure of early modernism in the theatre and also wrote hundreds of short stories, while working in his profession as a medical doctor. "The Lady with the Dog," the title story of this collection, is among his most famous stories. At the time this story was written, in 1899, Chekhov had already fallen in love with an actress, Olga Knipper, whom he would later marry.
