The Lady with the Dog and Other Stories (1917) is a collection of nine stories by Russian writer Anton Chekhov. Recognized today as foundational for the development of the modern short story, Anton Chekhov has transcended Russian literature to become one of the most popular and acclaimed authors in history, in any language. This collection includes The Lady with the Dog, a meditative tale of forbidden desire and the frailty of hope described by Vladimir Nabokov as one of the greatest stories ever written despite breaking a]ll the traditional rules of storytelling.

The title story of the collection follows Dmitri Gurov, a married middle-aged man who falls in love with a young newlywed while on vacation in Yalta. The woman he desires, Anna Sergeyevna, is also unhappy with her marriage, and soon the two spend their days together before Anna decides to go home to her husband. Back in Moscow, Gurov--a man who has had many affairs--finds himself unable to shake the memory of Anna, and longs for the chance to see her once more. In A Doctor's Visit, a young doctor named Korlyov journeys to the home of a recently deceased industrialist, where he has been called to care for the frail heiress Liza. There, he finds himself beset with dark thoughts and even darker visions, and soon discovers that the cure for Liza's illness may be far beyond his skill.

With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Anton Chekhov's The Lady with the Dog and Other Stories is a classic of Russian literature reimagined for modern readers.
