About this edition

A complete edition of the surviving works of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904), translated in a single voice with the Russian alongside.

What's here

Every surviving story, play, and travel book of Chekhov's, in composition order, each with the Russian facing the English and a headnote, plus the glossary and chronology apparatus. (The correspondence is being added as a further volume.)

From the Russian

Every translation was produced by reading the Russian text directly, not by copying or adapting any prior edition. The Russian comes from open scholarly sources.

How to use this

Read straight through in chronological order to watch the writer form, or jump by genre or by year; follow any name into the glossary, and use the facing Russian to check a line against the original.
