  A native Frenchman no longer tutors the wealthy landlord's children as they've grown up and left the house. The Frenchman is now paid simply to be around, to be properly dressed, to smell of scent, and to listen to Kamyshev's babble, to eat and drink and sleep. It may sound like a dream job but there's always a catch. Chekhov challenges the reader to reflect on the meaning of happiness and fulfilment, and the lengths people will go to find it. Read in English, unabridged.
