Sinopsis

In "The Wife, and Other Stories," Anton Pavlovich Chekhov masterfully crafts a collection of narratives that explore the complexities of human relationships and the poignant subtleties of everyday life. These stories are marked by Chekhov's hallmark realism, characterized by nuanced character development and a focus on the psychological undercurrents of seemingly mundane circumstances. The collection delves into themes of love, disillusionment, and the existential anguish that permeates the human condition, all conveyed through a concise yet evocative literary style that reflects the social and cultural milieu of late 19th-century Russia. Chekhov, a prominent figure in the world of literature, was trained as a physician, which cultivated his acute observation of human behavior and emotions. His experiences working in the medical field offered him unique insights into the struggles of the human psyche, shaping his approach to storytelling. The confluence of his medical background and his literary ambitions endowed him with a distinctive voice that captured the intricacies of life, thereby reinforcing his significance within the literary canon as a precursor to modern psychological fiction. "The Wife, and Other Stories" is a compelling read that invites readers to ponder the depths of their own relationships and the nature of existence. Chekhov's innovations in narrative form and his deep empathy for his characters render this collection not only a profound literary experience but also an essential examination of the human soul. It is a must-read for anyone eager to explore the intricacies of life through the lens of one of literature's greatest masters.

    Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
    BOOK 3: ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE PROMISE MADE TO THE DEAD WOMAN: Montfermeil is situated between Livry and Chelles, on the southern edge of that lofty table-land which separates the Ourcq from the Marne. At the present day it is a tolerably large town, ornamented all the year through with plaster villas, and on Sundays with beaming bourgeois.

    Memoirs of a Madman

    Memoirs of a Madman or Diary of a Madman is a farcical short story by Nikolai Gogol. Along with The Overcoat and The Nose, Diary of a Madman is considered to be one of Gogol's greatest short stories. 
    The tale centers on the life of a minor civil servant during the repressive era of Nicholas I. Following the format of a diary, the story shows the descent of the protagonist, Poprishchin, into insanity. Diary of a Madman, the only one of Gogol's works written in first person, follows diary-entry format. 
    Diary of a Madman centres on the life of Poprishchin, a low-ranking civil servant and titular counsellor who yearns to be noticed by a beautiful woman, the daughter of a senior official, with whom he has fallen in love. Sophie, the daughter of his boss, with whom he has fallen in love. As he said in his first sight of her, just after being a beast of a civil servant himself, "A footman opened the carriage door and out she fluttered, just like a little bird." Nothing comes of this love he feels for her; Sophie is effectively unaware of him. His diary records his gradual slide into insanity.

    'Her Turn' was written by D H Lawrence in 1912. Lawrence is at his best in this story, taken from the scenes of his childhood and based on characters he knew intimately. The scene can hardly be called a story in the traditional sense, being the altercation between a miner and his wife over the sharing of strike pay.  Lawrence keeps the story light-hearted, almost comical but the tensions of married life in hard times are just below the surface.
