A Day in the Fields - Stories Volume 3

A Day in the Fields - Stories Volume 3 Book Description Mehmet Özgül's translation, DS Mirsky's foreword, Charles E. May's afterword, Author and period chronology, with visuals about the book. A Day in the Fields compiles Chekhov's stories from 1886, a year when he experienced a major breakthrough in his writing. Although he continued to work as a doctor, which he considered his main profession, Chekhov was a writer whose talent was noticed by literary circles in 1886. In this year, he began to move away from the comic sketches of his early works and began submitting longer stories to prestigious weekly publications such as Peterburgskaya gazeta and Novoye Vremya. These humorous and touching stories of Chekhov, which have never lost their place in the memory of Russian readers, are examples of his unique perspective that every modern storyteller owes. A Day in the Fields, where tragicomic vignettes satirizing Russia's middle class come together with the author's first experimental works, displays Chekhov's unique genius and subtle perspective.
