- More about The Willow and Other Stories
Old Arkhip sits by a willow tree and exchanges stories with it, leading him to a world of crime, corruption, violence, and murder. The Willow is accompanied by thirty-two other short stories, representing Chekhov's three main phases of his career. This collection showcases his unparalleled skills as a practitioner of the short-story genre.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 256 pages
Publication date: 23 May 2024
Publisher: Alma Books Ltd
Old Arkhip sits by the roots of a wizened, hunchbacked willow every day, fishing and exchanging whispered stories with the ancient tree. One of these takes Arkhip three decades back in time, to a quiet day in early spring when a strange encounter shook him momentarily from the rural bliss in which he lived, catapulting him into a world of crime, corruption, violence, and murder. "The Willow" is a quintessential example of Chekhov's artistry, accompanied by thirty-two other short stories that are representative of the three main phases of the author's career: the short, light-hearted pieces of the late 1880s, the darker, more pessimistic tales of his maturity, and the psychologically nuanced stories he wrote towards the end of his life. Taken together, this collection is further proof of Chekhov's unparalleled skills as a practitioner of the short-story genre.
