They show him as a master of compression and a probing analyst, unmasking the mediocrity, lack of ideals, and spiritual and physical inertia of his generation. In these grim pictures of peasant life, and telling portraits of men and women enmeshed in trivialities, in the finely observed, suffocating atmosphere of provincial towns with their pompous officials, frustrated, self-seeking wives, spineless husbands, Chekhov does not expound any system of morality, but leaves the reader to draw what conclusion he will.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Kiss and Other Stories | Anton Pavlovich Chekhov | Mass market paperback | 9780140443363 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1765321","offer_id":50734430486786,"sku":"1765321","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/41JmssdKJvL.jpg?v=1791922546","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/kiss-and-other-stories","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
