Joy

I finally took some time for Chekhov.

I remember reading some of his works, but I didn’t remember much. So, to read his short stories was a must for me. Now I’m here, I started, and I’m glad I took time for these little gems.

Mitya (Dmitry) Kuldarov is famous. He tells his parents about his fame, and he feels overjoyed. Joy is a very short story (only 697 words in English).

About the Author: 

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (Russian: Антон Павлович Чехов, 29 January 1860 – 15 July 1904) was a Russian playwright and short-story writer who is considered to be one of the greatest writers of all time. His career as a playwright produced four classics, and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. Chekhov was a physician by profession. "Medicine is my lawful wife", he once said, "and literature is my mistress.
