Vielen eher als Dramatiker bekannt, war Anton Tschechow auch ein eifriger Novellist und Verfasser von unzähligen Kurzgeschichten. In den vorliegenden 57 Erzählungen überwiegen jene aus seiner frühen Schaffensphase: scherzhafte Miniaturen, Parodien und komische Kurzgeschichten, in denen sich der Autor stilistisch austobte. Doch auch viele bekannte Erzählungen aus Tschechows späterem Schaffen - dann mehr dem Realismus zugehörig - bringt Hans-Helmut Dickow eindrucksvoll zu Gehör.

Ek skryf as "Mier op die man" en bespreek verskeie skrywes van bekende en onbekende skrywers en hoe elkeen se woorde die aspekte raak sryf wat in ons harte brand. Ek voer ook onderhoude met verskeie kunstenaars en hoor wat dit is wat hulle inspireer tot groter dinge. Dit sluit gedigte, kortverhale, prosa, draaiboeke, aanhalings en bykans enige samestelling in van woorde wat my binneste roer - en hopelik joune ook. Dit is hoofsaaklik in Afrikaans met hier en daar iets in Engels. Volg my @mieropdieman op Instagram My werk is ook on KALIGRAFIE beskikbaar onder @ACGriffel

The short story "Vanka", originally published in 1887 as a Christmas tale in the Peterburgskaya Gazeta, is quintessential Chekhov. Anton Chekhov, Russian short story writer and playwright, was a master of humorous but almost dark tales of mundane and often anti-climactic Russian life in the 19th century. "Vanka" is the story of a young shoemaker’s apprentice, who writes a letter in secret to his only living relative, his grandfather with a desperate plea to save him from the miserable life he lives with the shoemaker.

When we read or listen, words can have a transforming effect. Our mood can alter in the space of a few sentences from joy to sadness. And not just our mood. These words can affect us physically, they can engage our emotions and even in their sadness bring a lump to our throat and tears to our eyes. Sometimes the relief can be palpable. Our authors, from Anton Chekhov, Stephen Crane, Willa Cather, Katherine Mansfield and a wealth of others, are well aware of what their talents will evoke. Genius has many names.

This collection of short stories by Anton Chekhov are all set at Christmastime.

Christmas may come but once a year but human emotions, the driving force of our characters, are with us every day. Yet, somehow these same emotions when they happen at Christmas seem amplified; we seem more tender to their touch, their words. Whether it’s a long-lost returning soldier wondering how best to return to the arms of his family without too great a risk of shock... Or a prodigal son whose taken path has driven pain into his own and others hearts… These stories reveal much about the human condition.

Christmas may come but once a year but evil, intrigue and malevolence are everyday events. Within this volume Christmas is a time when these dark forces form and coalesce to take life and liberty from people who may and who may not deserve the spin of its wheel. Some are merely evil, others have the beginnings of a conscience that displays itself in a dialogue with the devil, or perhaps only themselves. But, in this volume Christmas takes a ringside seat to the horrors of the human heart.
