At a Summer Villa

A famous phrase of the writer, “Brevity is the sister of talent”, couldn't suit more to the stories written by Anton Chekhov himself. One correct phrase to emphasize the character, an appropriate word to explain the main idea along with precise usage of various accents creates a bright three-dimensional picture in just a few minutes.

No one is as amused as Chekhov and no one is at the same time so sad as he is.
