About this listen

This collection of short stories by Anton Chekhov are all set at Christmastime. Rather than depicting a sentimental image of Christmas, Chekhov paints a picture of the harsh reality faced by many of the poorer members of society during a bitter Russian winter, while still injecting elements of pathos and humour. This collection includes At Christmas Time (Parts 1 & 2), Vanka and The Shoemaker and the Devil.

I adore Chekhov. You find yourself suddenly going, what did he just say? His subtle wisdom sneaks up on one when they’re least expecting it. It’s a talent few own. He’s one of a kind. A gem of a man worthy of reading, listening, re-reading and re-listening and then doing it again. Each circle reveals different highlights as one moves along in time themselves.

I particularly like Christmas short stories. I picked up this title because I saw that it had three short stories one of which I was familiar with.

I was pretty disappointed.

Two of the three stories are Christmas related, really on tangentially. I found myself asking at the end of both, “what’s the point?“

The third story comma, which has nothing to do with Christmas is only the real saving grace. It was interesting, but I could’ve lived without it.

The good news is that the book is only less than an hour, so I finished it quickly.
