Chameleon

The works of the classic of Russian literature Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) are valued and loved for their beautiful language, exquisite irony, and depth of thought. Contemporaries spoke of the writer as a very serious person, but also someone who knew how to brilliantly joke.
In Chekhov's selected stories, flaws of society and vices of individual citizens are depicted with keen humor. However, there is no place for malicious joy here. The writer kindly and condescendingly chuckles at small and ordinary people, who are funny to the point of pity. Like the genius psychologist Chekhov, using his main instrument - the artistic word, he heals souls. Including - with the help of laughter.
