This volume presents the first comprehensive annotated edition of Chekhov's earliest stories in English. Translated as part of a unique project involving 85 volunteers from 9 countries, the 58 stories were all written between 1880 and 1882, when Chekhov was in his early twenties, and still at medical school. They make up volume 1 of the 10 volumes of short stories in the authoritative thirty-volume Academy of Sciences edition of Chekhov’s Complete Collected Works, and have been arranged in chronological order. Ranging from comic tales, hilarious skits, literary parodies, outrageous pot-boilers and poignant novellas, the stories are all aimed at a wide audience, and offer a revealing window into the unknown early chapter of Chekhov's life and literary career.

Rosamund Bartlett is the author of Chekhov: Scenes from a Life (Free Press), editor and co-translator of Chekhov: A Life in Letters (Penguin Classics), and translator of two anthologies of Chekhov’s stories: About Love and Other Stories (Oxford World’s Classics) and The Exclamation Mark and Other Stories (Hesperus Press) Elena Michajlowska is a trustee of the Anton Chekhov Foundation. She completed an MA in screenwriting and production at the University of Westminster, and has worked on numerous film, art and tech projects, including PutschYourself, an interactive documentary prompted by the Soviet coup of 1991 exploring state violence and collective memory.
