Reseñas de la Crítica

"This is an audiobook, and the narrator has a light Russian accent that lends credibility to the stories. Each of the stories--there are five on this second disc of 'Short Stories by Anton Chekhov'--is a picture for me. In fact, I liken each of them to a Monet painting in which you can see the individual strokes of the brush if you stand too close, but stepping back you see the whole picture at once and not the bits that created the whole. Masterpieces!" (Frayda Glass)

"This was an enjoyable experience for me. It's not often that I listen to audiobooks. The reader's lightly accented voice wasn't too fast, too slow, or too annoying (which can happen with audiobooks and ruins them.) The little vignettes themselves were great. My favorite was the one about the 'little foot.' Hilarious." (Renee)

"Anton Chekhov was one of the early masters of the short story as well as a great playwright. As is typical of Chekhov’s stories, the five tracks here are carefully constructed slices of life, rich in portrait and moral ambiguity rather than dramatic experiences." (D.M.H.
