Eight classic tales by Chekhov come alive through the gentle yet powerful reading of Richard Setlok. "The Kiss," the story of an awkward young soldier who receives a kiss by mistake, leads off the collection, which also includes "Not Wanted," "Anyuta," "A Misfortune," "Expensive Lessons," "The Head of the Family," "The Trousseau," and "The Helpmate." It's a must for Chekhov lovers, and a perfect introduction for those who have never experienced the work of this Russian literary great.
