His virtuosity with the written word is on full display in this collection of his best stories, which explore the euphoria and despair inherent in the process of falling and being in love. Eleven stories, including A Misfortune, Verochka, About Love, and The Lady with the Dog, offer readers a unique view into one of the most universal human experiences. From the Back Cover “Try to reason about love, and you will lose your reason. - Anton Chekhov Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), possibly the greatest writer of short stories, examines the human condition of love in eleven tales of romance.
