Ward Number Six and Other Stories by Anton Chekhov, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Writing towards the close of the nineteenth century, Chekhov - himself a country doctor - recorded in his fiction the symptoms of a diseased society. The seven stories collected here are a bleakly savage indictment of a society paralysed by spiritual malaise, and morbidly conscious of evilswhich can neither be killed nor cured. This volume also contains an Introduction by Ronald Hingley. | Ward Number Six and Other Stories by Anton Chekhov, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
