Written between 1880 and 1882, when Chekhov was in his early twenties and still at medical school, they were all published in comic magazines. Many have never been translated before. Ranging from comic tales, hilarious skits to literary parodies, outrageous potboilers and poignant novellas, they offer a revealing window into this little known early chapter of Chekhov's life and literary career. The collection represents the conclusion of a unique \"crowd-translated\" project involving eighty five volunteers from nine countries, including the editors. Due to the collaborative nature of the early processes of revision, the translations are collectively ascribed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosamund Bartlett\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eChekhov: Scenes from a Life\u003c\/i\u003e (Free Press), editor and co-translator of \u003ci\u003eChekhov: A Life in Letters\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e(Penguin Classics), and translator of two anthologies of \u003ci\u003eChekhov's stories: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbout Love and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e (Oxford World's Classics) and \u003ci\u003eThe Exclamation Mark and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e (Hesperus Press)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eElena Michajlowska\u003c\/b\u003e is a trustee of the Anton Chekhov Foundation.
