The Stories of Anton Chekhov

Description

In the harvest time of 1844 a youthful author named Dmitri Grigorovich was sharing

rooms with a companion of his from military designing school, the twenty-three-year-old

Fyodor Dostoevsky, who was grinding away on his first novel, Poor Folk. Through

Grigorovich the completed original copy arrived on account of Vissarion Belinsky, the most

persuasive pundit of the time, whose excitement propelled Dostoevsky’s profession.
