The only full-length novel which Chekhov authored, The Shooting Party revolves around Olga, the pretty young daughter of a drunken worker on a country estate, and her relationships with the men in her life. Loved by Urbenin, whom she eventually marries; desired by the Count Karneyev; and adored by Zinovyev, who knows the sadness at the heart of her marriage, a murderous attack begins a spiral of alarm, mistrust, and deceit. Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian playwright and is still considered one of the greatest short story writers of all time.

Autor

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), the grandson of a former serf and son of a grocer, was born in Taganrog, a port in Southern Russia. His childhood was overshadowed by his frightening father, but he was close to his mother. While he was at university, his father was defrauded and went bankrupt, leaving the family in dire financial straits; Chekhov supported them almost single-handedly by selling stories and sketches to magazines. Although a doctor by profession, he soon became famous for his brilliant stories and plays, and is today recognized as one of the greatest short story writers of all time.
