Duel-Stories Volume 6

Translation by Mehmet Özgül, foreword by Alexander Chudakov, afterword by Charles Du Bos, chronology of the author and period, with images of the book.

Duel, consisting of stories written between 1890 and 1892, is a short story from Chekhov's maturity period, which constitutes a school of modern storytelling.
A delicious book as always from his long stories. Unlike the magnificent masterpieces of his contemporaries, Anton Chekhov, who depicts the simple truths of Russian society by building modest structures that accommodate people to their scale, loosens the boundaries between short stories and long stories in The Duel and makes a new breakthrough in his writing life. Chekhov, who complicates the clear realistic attitude of his short stories with the problems of man's inner world in his long stories such as The Duel, puts into practice the anatomy knowledge he gained from his doctorate in the field of literature. Duel presents a social and literary panorama that opens up to the various states of humanity, with its characters: bigoted and stupid, cruel and merciful, flirtatious and devout, belligerent and peaceful.
Duel, consisting of stories written between 1890 and 1892, is a delicious book as always, among the short and long stories of Chekhov's maturity period, which formed a school of modern storytelling. “Anton Pavlovich did not like fish teeth, rooster feathers, the variegated, eye-catching, strutting ornaments of show-off fools… Throughout his life, he lived as he felt, was always himself, and remained free in spirit.”
