Chekhov perfected the short story, as shown in these three moving miniature dramas of love, dread and lies.

One of the greatest writers of all time, Anton Chekhov was born in Taganrog, Russia on 29 January 1860. He started writing in his early life to support his poor family, having no idea that it d finally pave for him the way to become a celebrated short story writer and playwright. Also, his choice of profession as a doctor put him in close contact with Russian society which in turn helped him to produce fine literature. His most famous short stories include "The Steppe", "The Lady with the Dog", "Ward No. 6" and "The Duel" etc. Similarly, his most famous plays are Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, The Seagull and The Cherry Orchard. Chekhov caught tuberculosis in his mid-twenties and having fought it for nearly half of his life, he died of it on 15 July 1904 when he was staying with his wife in Badenweiler, a German spa town. He was buried in Moscow.
