Short stories

Polinka, written by Anton Chekhov, is an evocative social commentary that explores the complexity of human relationships within a patriarchal society. Through the lens of a rural Russian family, we are presented with an artful inquiry into the negotiation of power and gender roles within a homogeneous cultural context. The narrative centers on protagonist Polinka, who struggles to find her voice amidst oppressive social constraints. In this way, Chekhov challenges the audience to question their assumptions about traditional gender relations. Read in English, unabridged.
