Book description
When Gurov sees the lady with the little dog on a windswept
promenade, he knows he must have her. But she is different from his
other flings - he cannot forget her . Chekhov's stories are of lost
love, love at the wrong time and love that can never be.
United by the theme of love, the writings in the Great Loves series
span over two thousand years and vastly different worlds. Readers will
be introduced to love's endlessly fascinating possibilities and
extremities: romantic love, platonic love, erotic love, gay love,
virginal love, adulterous love, parental love, filial love, nostalgic
love, unrequited love, illicit love, not to mention lost love, twisted
and obsessional love.
Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian physician and writer of short
stories and plays, including the masterpieces:
Uncle Vanya
,
The Seagull
, and
The Cherry Orchard
.
