    Narrated by Anastasia Bertollo

    About this audiobook

    Anton Chekhhov (1860 – 1904) is one of the most famous dramatist. No one but Chekhov could understand tragedy of small things so finely and clear. His legacy includes the best works of the Russian flash fiction.

    "An Enigmatic Nature" is a story of two people talking in a rail-car compartment. The author claims he understands his interlocutors fully and asks her to tell him about her life. As she tells him her way to happiness and how she has been overcoming difficult obstacles to reach it, his confidence in correctness of his opinion about her strengthens.

    Until the young lady reveals the reason of her unhappiness at the moment. The short story shows in a simplified way how we may be surprised by someone we think we know entirely. It will cheer you up and set you thinking as well.

    Anton Chekhov

    Anton Chekhov was born in 1860 in Southern Russia and moved to Moscow to study medicine. Whilst at university he sold short stories and sketches to magazines to raise money to support his family. His success and acclaim grew as both a writer of fiction and of plays whilst he continued to practice medicine. Ill health forced him to move from his country estate near Moscow to Yalta where he wrote some of his most famous work, and it was there that he married actress Olga Knipper. He died from tuberculosis in 1904.
