About the book

Content and approach

Learn Russian with Chekhov: Russian Short Stories for Beginners (A2). Would you like to read authentic Russian literature without looking up every other word? This edition offers an accessible introduction to Anton Chekhov. Thirty renowned short stories have been simplified for A2 learners without losing the spirit and atmosphere of the originals. Their themes range from everyday misunderstandings and human hopes to worries and the quiet absurdities of life, sometimes funny, sometimes sad or reflective. The book uses straightforward Russian, highlights important words, provides Russian–German vocabulary notes after each story and includes a short biography and an overview of Chekhov’s work. It is suitable for independent learners, language classes, returning students and anyone who wants to read Russian literature rather than only practise exercises.
