Tales (2 mp3 CDs)

Known more as a dramatist, Anton Chekhov was also an avid novelist and author of countless short stories. In the present collection of 57 tales, those from his early creative phase predominate: humorous miniatures, parodies, and comedic short stories in which the author stylistically indulged. However, many well-known stories from Chekhov's later works—more aligned with realism—are also impressively presented by Hans-Helmut Dickow, providing a fantastic overview of the complete works of the great Russian writer. Reading by Hans-Helmut Dickow, 2 mp3 CDs, approximately 12 hours and 22 minutes.
