Here are 11 short stories and one novella by Anton Chekhov, one of the finest masters of what is acknowledged as a difficult genre. There is the richly comic "Oh! The Public" about a hassled ticket inspector, a wry look at morals and manners in "The Chorus Girl", and the melancholic tale of a cab driver in "Misery". The other short stories in this collection are: "The Trousseau", "A Story Without a Title", "Children", "Fat and Thin", "The Beggar", "Hush!", "The Orator", and "An Actor's End". Editorial Reviews: Russian master Anton Chekhovs profound rumination on grief and loneliness is impeccably realized by renowned Shakespearean actor Kenneth Branagh, whose compassionate, layered performance captures the emotional fragility of elderly sledge driver Iona Potapov, still reeling from the death of his son, as well the stinging, cold indifference of the passengers he attempts to open up to as he guides them through the snow-blanketed streets of St. Petersburg in this powerful audiobook that will linger in the listeners mind long after its over. Critic Reviews: "If you want an outstanding reading, in which the narrator's voice brilliantly conveys the speaker's class and the intricate relationships between characters during conversations, you can do no better than to listen to Kenneth Branagh. This great actor mesmerizes as he gasps, chuckles, stutters, and declaims. A must listen." (AudioFile)
