Chekhov Seven Short Novels 1971 Norton Library Provincial Disillusionment Book This Norton Library volume gathers seven of Chekhov’s longer fictions, The Duel, Ward No. 6, A Woman’s Kingdom, Three Years, My Life, Peasants, and In the Ravine, along with an introduction, chronology, and bibliography. Taken together, they offer a broad survey of his mature prose, moving through provincial towns, uneasy households, hospitals, business circles, and peasant communities. It is a strong one-volume entry point for readers who want more sustained Chekhov than a standard short-story selection provides. Across these works, Chekhov is less interested in plot mechanics than in pressure, compromise, and the slow exposure of character. The book repeatedly turns toward class strain, emotional fatigue, institutional indifference, failed intimacy, and the gap between what people imagine about themselves and how they actually live. The result is psychologically exact, socially observant fiction that feels quiet on the surface and devastating underneath. Book is in good condition. Photos are the final arbiter of condition.
