Anton Chekhov and His Times

Rating:
Summary: NOT new translations...
Review: The blurb on the back of this collection is highly misleading, since most of these letters were translated into English long, long before their publication in this book. It was originally published in Russian in 1990, so the "newly translated" might refer to the 1995 publication in the US. If you're really interested in Chekhov's letters, read Karlinsky and Heim's book...it can't be beat.
