One right stroke to mark the character, with apt word to say about the main thing, to precisely place accents and draw a bright three-dimensional picture in just a few minutes is the work of the wizard. No one is as amused as Chekhov, and no one is so sad as he. The collection includes selected stories and stories in which the classic, who entered the history of literature under the frivolous pseudonym Antosha Chekhonte, draws eternal characters that invariably amaze with their psychological nude.

The fourth day of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s federal sex-trafficking trial dawned with a tense hush in the Manhattan courtroom. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian convened early, addressing last-minute disputes before the jury was brought in. Defense and prosecution lawyers had sparred overnight in letters to the court, and the judge was adamant about setting boundaries: he denied a defense request to introduce certain extremely explicit text messages (references to specific sex acts) that he feared would create “unfair prejudice or victimization” of1. He also scolded Combs’s ...

Razvan Vasilescu citind povestirile lui Cehov, sensibile si pline de umor, despre oameni simpli si intamplarile lor complicate, pare ca vine chiar din secolul XIX. Si nu vine singur, aduce cu sine un arhivar devenit celebru cu ocazia unui accident provocat de betie, o guvernanta mototoala care este supusa unui test cinic, un functionar care, impins de aburii betiei, ii cere socoteala fostului sau sef, un batran demn si important nevoit sa solicite ajutor pentru nepotul sau neispravit, un functionar sfrijit care se ploconeste in fata fostului sau coleg, ajuns om mare, o actrita ingenua care asteapta declaratia unui comic sacait insa de lipsa unui pahar de vodca, un contraamiral care este invitat la o nunta doar datorita rangului sau, un croitor care traieste din hazul amintirilor, acceptandu-si resemnat umilinta de dragul lor, un raufacator inocent care nu intelege ce fatalitate l-a adus in sala de judecata.

R&B singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura took the witness stand Tuesday as the prosecution’s star witness, marking a dramatic showdown in Sean “Diddy” Combs’s federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial. Visibly pregnant with her third child, Ventura appeared composed yet anxious – occasionally dabbing her eyes with a tissue – as she was sworn in before U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian. Combs, seated at the defense table in a dark suit, watched his former girlfriend intently as she faced the jury for the first time, though Ventura pointedly avoided meeting his gaze.In the...

Imagine this: You walk into a room. Someone’s mad. Real mad. You can cut the tension with a knife. Their words? Venom. Their tone? Ice-cold. They’re like a mad dog ready for a fight. And yet, three minutes later… They’re not just calm—they’re thanking you. Maybe even hugging you. 👉 Not because you beat them with logic… 👉 Not because you overpowered them with status…. 👉 But because you did something they’ve never experienced before.You *heard* them. That’s the magic of Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

Una excelente puerta de entrada a uno de los grandes maestros de la literatura rusa. El relato más largo de este libro, "La sala número seis", narra el lento y fatal proceso por el cual el viejo director de un hospital de pueblo —donde están aislados unos dementes—, acaba por ser encerrado en esa sala de la locura. El resto de los cuentos recogidos van desde lo grotesco, como en "Un drama", en el que un autor teatral mata a una señora con un pisapapeles, hasta la candidez de la adolescencia, presente en ese relato en el que la protagonista escribe una carta a un supuesto enamorado.
