Reseñas de la Crítica

"Short Stories by Anton Checkov is an audiobook containing five of Checkov’s stories. They are delightfully narrated by Max Bollinger in his charming accented English. The stories are excellent examples of Checkov’s style. Superb characterisation and brilliantly observed slices of life. Checkov’s stories don’t come to an end, they just peter out inconclusively, leaving you to draw your own conclusions. A very enjoyable collection." (Alan Moreton)

"A lovely listen, rich, velvety Russian voice, never obtrusive. Well-paced reading, nicely interspersed with Tchaikovsky for atmosphere. A good addition to reading the plays or stories. I will recommend it to my pupils who are studying The Cherry Orchard." (Liz O’Sullivan)

"I really enjoyed this short story collection, read by Max Bollinger with music by Tchaikovskiy. I loved hearing the stories read with the Russian accent, and the music really pulled the whole CD together. The stories are all about ten minutes long, and the whole listening experience is calming and enjoyable. As always, Chekov's stories are interesting and provide a great listening experience."
