Great Stories by ChekhovRegarded as the father of the short story as well as the first modern fiction writer, Anton Chekhov rejected conventional forms to examine the lives of ordinary people in prosaic situations. His impressionistic depictions of Russian life and the human condition resound with emotional honesty, focusing on character rather than plot and revealing subtle but important truths.

Regarded as the father of the short story as well as the first modern fiction writer, Anton Chekhov rejected conventional forms to examine the lives of ordinary people in prosaic situations. His impressionistic depictions of Russian life and the human condition resound with emotional honesty, focusing on character rather than plot and revealing subtle but important truths. Thomas Mann held Chekhov in highest esteem, declaring, His short stories rank with all that is greatest and best of European literature. This compilation of seven tales attests to the timeless appeal of the Russian author's short fiction.Selections include Misery, an account of a sleigh-driver's attempts to communicate his overwhelming grief; A Father, a meditation on the conflict between rejecting a monstrous parent and giving him his respectful due; A Problem, which proposes that criminals cannot reform unless they pay for their misdeeds; and In Exile, an examination of whether it is better to dream of happiness or to accept a living hell. Other tales include Ward No. 6, relating a conflict between an asylum inmate and the institution's director; My Life: The Story of a Provincial, in which a rebellious young bourgeois joins the working classes; and Peasants, an expos of the dehumanizing effects of poverty.

Great seller and really nice items!
Size: 6 Panel, Color: White
These room dividers are really lovely. They are great quality and just perfect for providing privacy in a sunroom while still allowing light in to keep the room sunny. I highly recommend.

Nice divider!
Size: 4 Panel, Color: White
I use this as a "barrier" to keep my cat out of the guest room. I don't have to close the door anymore because the divider allows light and air through. Adds a nice touch to the decor, as well. Very lightweight and serves its purpose.

Good Room Divider
Size: 4 Panel, Color: White
This room divider worked great to mask my "utility area" in my living room because I'm low on storage space. It's functional and pleasing to the eye, but the quality could be better as there were pieces of debris on the unit and fraying strings. It also can tip over if not positioned just right. I do like the versatility of it though because even though it's a four panel I can fold in one of the panels and use the other three. Overall I like it, the price could be lower based on the quality but its good.

Lightweight and easy to move.
Size: 3 Panel, Color: Dark Gray
Very lightweight, easy to move. Looks nice in my room. I bought this to direct the flow of window unit air conditioner. Because of how we need to arrange the furniture, the a/c blew directly on us, making it uncomfortable. With this in front fifth a/c, I can arrange the panels to direct the flow out into the room instead of on us.
