But it is an art in itself. To take a story and distil its essence into fewer pages while keeping character and plot rounded and driven is not an easy task. Many try and many fail. A widespread favourite of scholars, critics and causal readers alike, Anton Chekhov is one of the most challenging and enjoyable authors to read. Both a doctor and writer, Chekhov initially had little interest in literature, writing predominantly as a source of income. As recognition of his talents spread so his ambition grew he began to assert itself and history now acknowledges him as the greatest short story writer of all time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anton Chekhov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780008937\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780008936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Miniature Masterpieces\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Anton Chekhov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459617272063,"sku":"9781780008936","price":10.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81ec3568-ddbd-430c-9e39-019b5a8ec4a8.jpg?v=1777410818","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anton-chekhov-the-cossack-anton-chekhov-9781780008936","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
