A Literary Classic by ANTON CHEKHOV.
The Horse-Stealers and Other Stories by RUSSIAN author ANTON CHEKHOV is a collection of short stories first published in 1890 in RUSSIA. The title story of this collection, "The Horse-Stealers," tells of an unfortunate hospital assistant, Yergunov, whose horse is stolen by a couple of guys he met in a tavern.
'A hospital assistant, called Yergunov, an empty-headed fellow, known throughout the district as a great braggart and drunkard, was returning one evening in Christmas week from the hamlet of Ryepino, where he had been to make some purchases for the hospital. That he might get home in good time and not be late, the doctor had lent him his very best horse..'
Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), a Russian playwright and short story writer, is considered to be one of the greatest writers of all time. He was a key figure of early modernism in the theatre and also wrote hundreds of short stories, while working in his profession as a medical doctor. "The Horse-Stealers," the title story of this collection, tells the sad story of Yergunov, a hospital assistant who takes shelter from a snowstorm at a tavern, only to be assaulted by thieves.
