Fiction

Anton Chekhov's "The Death of a Government Clerk" humorously unfolds when a government official accidentally sneezes on a high-ranking official. The tale navigates the protagonist's escalating paranoia and guilt, culminating in a series of comical misadventures. Chekhov's satire highlights the absurdity of social anxieties and bureaucratic entanglements in this short yet entertaining story. Read in English, unabridged.
