The Story of a Nobody by Anton Chekhov

The Story of a Nobody by Anton Chekhov

Combining psychological detail with a strong sense of place and time, The Story of a Nobody bears all the hallmarks of Chekhov's genius, and perfectly captures the political and social tensions of its day.

This story is… a wonderful piece of literatureI know this because I have read it several times, and it is only excellent writing that improves with rereading. -- Louis de Bernières
Revived in this sure-footed translation by Hugh Aplin, Chekhov's novella deserves to be much better known. * The Independent *

Anton Chekhov is one of the giants of modern literature, exerting a strong influence on many present-day novelists and dramatists. As a playwright, he ranks in popularity second only to Shakespeare in the English-speaking world. As a prose writer, he was one of the first to use the stream-of-consciousness technique, and his anti-heroic realism, full of ambiguity and allusion, provides no easy moral conclusions and results in a new kind of narrative approaching real life in a way no writer had achieved before him.
