What is The Complete Short Novels [Transl. Richard Pevear, Larissa Volokhonsky] about?

Anton Chekhov, Widely Hailed As The Supreme Master Of The Short Story, Also Wrote Five Works Long Enough To Be Called Short Novels-here Brought Together In One Volume For The First Time, In A Masterly New Translation By The Award-winning Translators Richard Pevear And Larissa Volokhonsky. The Steppe-the Most Lyrical Of The Five-is An Account Of A Nine-year-old Boy's Frightening Journey By Wagon Train Across The Steppe Of Southern Russia. The Duel Sets Two Decadent Figures-a Fanatical Rationalist And A Man Of Literary Sensibility-on A Collision Course That Ends In A Series Of Surprising Reversals. In The Story Of An Unknown Man, A Political Radical Spying On An Important Official By Serving As Valet To His Son Gradually Discovers That His Own Terminal Illness Has Changed His Long-held Priorities In Startling Ways. Three Years Recounts A Complex Series Of Ironies In The Personal Life Of A Rich But Passive Moscow Merchant. In My Life, A Man Renounces Wealth And Social Position For A Life Of Manual Labor. The Resulting Conflict Between The Moral Simplicity Of His Ideals And The Complex Realities Of Human Nature Culminates In A Brief Apocalyptic Vision That Is Unique In Chekhov's Work.
