Fairy Tales for Adults Volume 10

Summary

The theme of romance continues in this volume and begins with iconic 'The Lady with the Dog' by Anton Chekhov.  Set in Yalta, Crimea, appears at first as a holiday romance. Gurov is a married man, but he holidays on his own and has a history of holiday affairs. He meets the lady of the story’s title with her Pomeranian dog. But Chekhov’s love stories are not romantic accounts of unrequited love or of love at first sight. Or even of tortured love that is amplified by the agony of being unfulfilled. No, these are Chekhovian tales that surprise and intrigue our imagination.  The second of this collection continues with King Lear.
