Περιγραφή για The Looking Glass and Other Stories: New Translation of this unique edition of thirty-four other short stories by Chekhov, some of them never translated before into English. Anton Chekhov Alma Classics

It is New Year’s Eve, and Nellie, the pretty daughter of a landowning general, is sitting in her room looking in the mirror. Although she is tired and her eyes are half closed, she is spellbound as the reflection in the looking glass dissolves into a sea of grey mist, in which she starts to discern the beloved features of her fiancé. As in a diorama, the scene keeps changing, and to the early snapshots of joyful marital life succeed other, more sinister images of care, sickness and bereavement, casting a long shadow onto the girl’s future.With ‘The Looking Glass’ Chekhov captured the very essence of the Russian soul. This short story, along with the others included in this collection, demonstrates why he is considered the absolute master of the genre. Σελίδες: 240, Διαστάσεις: 12.8x12.8cm
