The Kiss (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425470616)

The Kiss by Anton Chekhov is a short story that explores the themes of love, desire, and social norms. The story revolves around Ryabovitch, a young man who falls in love with a married woman named Anna, who is much older than him. Despite his feelings, Ryabovitch is hesitant to act on them due to the societal conventions of the time. However, when Anna unexpectedly kisses him, Ryabovitch's world is turned upside down, and he struggles to make sense of his feelings and the consequences of their actions. The story is a poignant exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the societal pressures that can keep people from pursuing their true desires.
